PASSAGE ? II
The difficulty in the education of young infants is largely
the delicate balance required in the parents. Constant
watchfulness and much labour are needed to avoid injury to
health : these qualities will hardly exist in the necessary
degree except wher there is strong parental affection. But
where this exists, it is very likely not to be wise. To the
devoted parents, the child is immensely important. Unless
care is taken, the child feels this, and judges himself as
important as his parents feel him in later life, his social
environment will not regard him so fondly, and habits which
assume that he is the center of other people?s universe will
lead to disappointment. It is, therefore, necessary, not
only in the first year, but afterwards also, that the
parents should be breezy and cheerful and rather
matter-of-fact where the child?s possible ailments are
concerned. In old days, infants were too much petted, sung
to, rocked and dandled. This was wrong since it turned them
into helpless pampered parasities. The right rule is :
encourage spontaneous activities but discourage demands on
others. Do not let the child see how much you do for him or
how much trouble you take. Let him, wherever possible,
taste the joy of success, achieved by his own efforts, not
extracted by tyrannizing over the grown-ups.

(a) troublesome
(b) mischievous
(c) parasites
