Eldretf ef the Teur Baby and Mine department in care ef The alt Lake Telegram. Ry MYRTLE METER ELORED It la rare when two parent think exactly alike an any subject. Once a child ia born they tend te die-cever die-cever that their own temperament and their owa early training give them aoDoeine view on the sue- ert ef child rearing. Here Is ths first of such successive succes-sive conflicts for Mrs. C E.: "I bsv a six-month-old son," shs writes. "I put him te bed every night at about e'eiock and he sleeps until early morning. -My" husbsnd thinks we should take him out with us when we go visiting. H say If w bundle him up sad put him In a warm car he won't be harmed If put ta bed In some ether place. Hs loves ths baby, but doesn't think child should cause his parents any Inconvenience. Inconve-nience. I do net agree with him. I think tt more Important to keep a baby's good health habits than to go visiting. Thsnk you for any help you can give me." It Is quits possible at this sgs for you te tans up tns saoy ana aaposit him on another bed and hs wouldn't lose much slsep. But, as ths bsby grows, hs becomes mors conscious of his surroundings, snd Is mors easily disturbed. Children whs discover dis-cover that bedtime te st the whim of their parents and not an Irrevocable Irrevo-cable follow-up of tha night meal soon loss all respect for It. A parent cannot sxpsct thst a child will never causa tham any Inconvenience In-convenience they all can and do. But your husband will discover, by experience, that he will be lass Inconvenienced In-convenienced by baby who has predictable sleeping habits. Then be csa go out in ths svsning, leaving some responsible person in charge, and be sure that baby will alaep. This is real comfort and recreation. I'd Invite people to come to your house oftener, as all young parents need companionship. I'd accord your husband ths privilege of occasionally occasion-ally going out without you. For-if vou honestly believe that good hab- its ars Important and I applaud that belief you'll be far more comfortable com-fortable at home. |
