MUFTI By ANGELO PATRI "How can I get my child to mind me? If I could get him to mind me we would get on all right." That is one of the most fre quent notes we receive. Reading along we find that this child who does not mind is in his teens, fifteen, nineteen, sometimes twenty- And his mother and father are still asking that he do what he is told, not what he would do if left to his intelligence. "But that's just the point. He isn't intelligent.

He does the stupidest things. How can we let him think for himself and act on it when he doesn't think?" That's true. But how can he think intelligently if he is not allowed to think? The whole trouble lies in the early training. If a child is always expected to "mind" and never allowed, much less expect ed, to think and act for himself, he arrives at adolescence when his feelings of maturity beset him, withou' the ability to -use those feelings or control them. Then his parents, frightened by his ignor ance and weakness, try to strengthen him by ordering him about.

And that will not work. A teen-age child has matured in certain directions. He feels urged to do and to be, to shine and be applauded with the rest of the bright young people. Those feelings are his even when he has not been trained to use them and he follows them and gets into trouble. When this happens giving him stern orders and issuing punish ment decrees will not help.

The mistake has been made- Now the best we can do is to win the child's co-operation wherever possible. Stop giving orders and stop acting as if the child was stal in arms. Begin asking his opinions, consulting his tastes, deferring to his opinions. Begin acting toward The Problem With Care Fall and we live from skirt to blouse oil types of skirts, plain colors and plaids. All kinds of too, softiy tailored ones and frilly dressy blouses.
