March 17, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 9 SPOILED CHILD TOPIC OF KAWIN DISCOURSE Juvenile Research Expert Ad- dresses Large Audience at Winnetka Woman's Club Miss Ethel Kawin, director of the Pre-School branch of the Chicago In- stitute of Juvenile Research, spoke to an audience of more than 200 people on March 8, at the second session of the March series of Child Study Con- ferences being conducted by the Win- netka Woman's club. The substance of Miss Kawin's analysis of the prob- lem of the spoiled child was as fol- lows: "It would be interesting, in ap- proaching the subject of the spoiled child, to follow the by-paths of social philosophy 4dnto which it leads, but there is no time to pursue this allur- ing task. However, it is assumed that any treatment of the subject is de- pendent upon the particular social philosophy that one holds. We will consider the subject from three stand- points today. First, what is a spoiled child? Second, why are almost all parents in danger of spoiling their children? Third, how may parents avoid spoiling their children? What Is Spoiled Child? "First, then, let us turn to the ques- tion, What is a 'spoiled child'? The Webster definition, 'to vitiate, destroy, ruin, is helpful, but not adequate for our purpose. Assuming that the goals we desire in child training are the de- velopment of the Child's own per- sonality in a continuous adjustment to the social group, it seems plain that the spoiled child has two outstanding characteristics :--first, he cannot make a good adjustment to any situation in which he does not have his own way; second, he cannot get along well with others. It is well to remind ourselves that we cannot define a spoiled child merely ad 'one who gets 'what he wants, for if the child's purposes are sufficiently social this would be com- mendable achievement. But if the child demands what he wants, re- gardless of others, then he is spoiled. Frances Wicks, in her book, "The In- ner World of Childhood' says, apropos of this,--To be psychologically adult one must have found an individual- ized way of life, as distinct from the pursuit of collective standards,--and vet this individualization must be so- cially motivated. This means con- scious control of attitudes in a con- tinually evolving process.' Alfred Adler considers the question from his general viewpoint of the problem- child being a victim of a conflict be- tween the egoistic and social tenden- cies within the self. To him the spoiled child is one who has lost so- cial feeling, and who, in order to sat- isfy his cffaving for superiority, is pro- curing satisfaction in unsocial, and therefore useless, ways. Doctor Adler considers the following points char- acteristic of a spoiled child: 1. Disorderliness. 2. Anxiety, if left alone. 3. Cowardliness in many 4. Enuresis. 5. Lack of concentration tractibility. 6. A fighting attitude toward par- ents, expressing itself sometimes in an attack upon the parents' weakest spot, sometimes in an unconscious ef- fort to hurt the parents in attacking points most valued by them. 7. Temper outbursts, or sulking. This is apt to indicate that the child feels inferior, and since he does not feel sure of himself, he is trying to terrify others. 8. Special ability to meet people well often indicates that the individual was a spoiled child, for this ability may be the outcome of intense effort to gain social approval!
