Abstract
Children at any age know how to get what they want. The dividends they desire should accrue to them for being good, social human beings, not for misbehaving.
Inconsistency and undependability in parents' attitudes toward children greatly affect their feeling of security. Putting pressures on children may lead to bed-wetting, stuttering and stammering.
It is important to recognize the pressures and influence of “the gang” and strive to keep it acceptable.
Love within the family, not just spoken but lived, is a necessary factor for emotional development.
