UIRmft FOR p1l;D~ AD'llalW . ft1Uil11~ Mn. Beatrice Eaaor, Edaeator. _ _ · I .,.. I I + l · In a lecture on "The Child's Faulty Adaptations," given last Tuesday at the National Kindergarten and. Elementary college, Mrs. Beatrice Ensor, English educator, advised parents to familiarize themselves with the new discoveries in the field of psychology and education, but to be careful how they try them out on their children. She also stressed the importance of maint~ining a sane, well-balanced point of view in the mid!it of the multiplicity o£ new and sometimes conflicting theories. ~~Practically every child present~ problems in one direction or another, and individual psychology, which is the basis of the new education, attempts to take into account the possibilities, capacities, strength and weaknesses of the individual and provide an ' environment which wilt help him to develop along the finest lines. Our aim as parents and teachers is so to study the situation that we rna,· provide the kind of environment which will produce .spontaneous, harmonious, all-around development of the child's nature. Prewent Mai-Acljuatment "Our attempt i.s to prevent matadjustment, rather than to remedy it after it has occurred. We recognize the importance of the early 'years of the child's physical life and the development of a healthy emotional life is equally important. It is the duty of every mother to help the child cut the links which bind them together, to make the child independent, and if she fails you have a~ entirely mal-adjusted adult. Mrs. Ensor suggested the many problems of adjustment between different children in the family and em~ pha.sized the fact that the oarents' job is to balance human natu-re and try to see that the relatio.11ships are fair1-:; evenlv balanced and that each child is given an o!_)portunity to develop. She !!.iscussed three types of children -the active, independent child. the )Jigh-strung emotional child, and the questioning- child who must have a reason for- everything, and suggested the v~ry different types of treatment which must be used with them.
