quite to be expected that he should rationalize hit behavior as he does. ( Nevertheless, there is a sense of security that comes to him as he realises that you really are concerned about his behavior and eager to help him do that which is right. It is a strange paradox that a child both objects to and gets satisfactions out of the admonitions of his parents. He does, that is, if he feels they are fair and honest with him. The following are suggestions for creating this feeling:

1. Make certain that the behavior you object to really is objectionable before you reprove him. Unfortunately, parents sometimes jump to conclusions and reprove them when they would not have done so had they understood the reasons for the behavior.

2. Help him realise that he belongs to a family that has high standards of behavior and encourage him to take pride ip tbe fact. Although you do not want him to feel that your family is better than others, you do want him to think of it as being as good as the best and to take pride in upholding its standards.

8. Be sure that you are not nagging your child; give approval for behavior that is desirable; have good times together as a family; be firm, patient, and understanding; be sore in your own mind that you always are faflfcnnd you need not woiTy about his objections to your admonitions.
