UNCONTROLLED IDEAS
Childhood Change-over “In the adolescent stage of children a wise parent finds he or she must often put the glass to the blind eye," said the Rev. E. P. Blamires at the first annual meeting of the Brooklyn Methodist Sunday School Parents’ Association, “for in that period the boy or girl is full of ideas and powers which he or she cannot control.
“A boy will be clumsy and will express the most remarkable sentiments, and has a growing conviction about being tied to any ‘apron strings.’ This change-over period is quite natural, and will not be a difficult period if parents overlook these flights of oratory apd seem not to notice or draw attention to his awkwardness, for in so many cases the new convictions will undergo another change by next week. Happy indeed is the fainily where loving sympathy is shown in this transition period, and where confidence between parent and child grows instead of diminishes.” iiiHniiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitJiiiiiiiiiiiiuniiiiiiiiiiniiiiiniin
