(AP Feature Service "Johnny, don't annoy the dog don't go near the curb don't play with that boy again Johnny's mother uses many "don'ts" and "do's." It's an easy habit to fall into. It takes less time and effort to say "don't" than to explain things to a child, especially when a parent is busy with household tasks. As a result of his mother's hurried and unthinking "don'ts," Johnny is beginning to feel that Mother is a commanding policeman and he is a prisoner in her keep- Ing.

The afternoon was spent in needlework and visiting. When Johnny starts thinking in this manner, he is beginning to think of things in the wrong light. Bis approach is becoming like his of "don't" instead of "do." Other children, unlike Johnny, react in a different manner. They rebel and commit the acts they have been warned against because they know that such acts are forbidden. To such children Mother is a tyrant because of her unexplained tyranny demands rebellion.

The habit of giving a child an explanation instead of a curt, commanding "don't," may be a little difficult to form at first. However, it becomes a habit after practice, and gives both parent and child a greater sense of satisfaction. Next Puzzled Parent eon noon. Six members and six guctta were present. Guests were Mrs.
