On the Job as a Parent
ment dictates to parents what the parents do.
The guidance of children does not consist in ruling every move-
ment. A child needs to learn discrimination. He learns it, he grows
mentally, through the process of trial and error. Child-raising em-
braces knowing when to be blind, deaf and dumb as well as when to
act with decisive swiftness. A child wants freedom but he also wants:
instruction and someone to imitate. Solid, day-by-day example and
consistency means more to children than a mushy kindness one day
and a show of parental authority the next day.
We are often nauseated by the actions of children of "nice peo-
ple." They barge into a stranger's home, finger everything they see,
monopolize the telephone, help themselves to food. They disarrange
furniture and leave without setting the house in order or saying
"Thank you" to their hostess. We suspect that such children were
raised apart from their parents or that they had neither strong pre-
cept nor effective training. Training, to us, is no more than learning
to live with people, respecting the rights of others, knowing how to
act on your own in a way creditable to yourself and your family.
Wise parents know when to clamp down on children. They know
when to give them unlimited freedom of action. They use both to
prove desirable or undesirable results. They know their children and,
knowing them, are able to judge as experts, the method and the con-
sequences. They know where their children are at night, They impose
rules fairly, without anger, without tying the children to their apron
strings unnecessarily, as if they were only two years old. As leaders
of their children, they use intonations and occasional strong action
to instill a respect for authority, for age, for worldly experience.
Their children know they cannot easily fool their parents. "Out to
a dance" is never sufficient explanation for coming home at 2 a.m.,
without previous permission. They avoid such fancy stories by making
their houses into homes. Such parents welcome the children's friends
into the warmth they have created for their own family. They have
confidence in their children. Such confidence is rewarded by confident
action of the youngsters. They know who are the associates, the asso-
ciates' parents. They do not forbid a child to see an undesirable friend
but help the child substitute. They do not use the lazy way of "laying
down the law." They go to work realizing the child's immaturity has
not yet permitted him to make a proper choice.
The warmth of their home they gladly share among the boy's or
girl's acquaintances, not as an ideal, but with the hard-headed knowl-
edge of helping their own. To them it makes no difference if all the
furniture is used, circumspectly. That is what furniture is for, within
limits. They welcome noise, fun, or jokes of healthy play. A bit of
dust, dirt, sawdust, shavings all are taken in their stride. In this way
they create an atmosphere of security, of living, far above posses-
sions in lasting effect. Theirs is a family home, for father, mother,
children, the friends of children. They are teaching their children
how to use a home, now and later, as the center of normal and whole-
some living .. a gift which too many do not have.
