Barents IN THE WAY Uy Alice .luclson Pcalo By the time children aro old, enough to go to school their be havior increasingly reflects tho at titudes of children of their own age. At adolescence they are normal ly more Influenced by their class mates than by their elders. This is quite as it should be. When it is not the case it Is a sign that the child's development has been hampered by home influ-' ences. Adherence to the values repre sented by father and mother and a continual preference for their companionship are usually caused by an excessive emotional depen dence which cannot help but stand There are two types of parents who are likely to affect their chil dren in this way those who are excessively domineering and thoso ; wl)(J wWl to ho( firHt ICO ln their children's love against all other claims. Xo matter what the cause, tho effect upon the child in unliuppy. Tho existence of such excesslvo de pendence keeps him satisfied within the family circle at a time when he should bo reaching out beyond it to make the contacts thru which he will learn to llvo his life as an adult. ' It Is thus possible for the pro tective and affectionate interest of jvirents to stand In 'he' way of tho establishment of new relationships and to deprive the child of that growth In which emotional inter ests outside the family group play a large part. Specifically It tends to prevent the development of friendships with persons of both sexes nn ex perience which Is essential In tho Rrowth of an individual from childhood to maturity.
