Nursery School Parents The controversial subject of "discipline" was the topic of an interesting meeting of the parents' group of the Thornhill Nursery School at a meeting held at the home of Mrs. Ruth Joynt on April 29th. The speak- er. Mrs. MacGregor Grant, a research assistant at the Insti- tute of Child Study showed a series of slides to illustrate her points. She emphasized that although} most people associate the term “discipline” with punishment, it also means teaching. At the Institute of Child Study, discip- line is considered as a plan of training to help the child learn desirable behaviour. This does not mean permissiveness, Mrs. Grant stated. Children have to learn rules and regulations and it is the learning of these that provides the discipline The foundations for good mental health are laid in childhood, Mrs. Grant con- tinued and we must arrange for learning conditions to bring this about. Although the discip- line of the child comes from outside himself, the object is to develop self-discipline. Sometimes trouble is caused because too much is demanded of the child and Mrs. Grant empha- sized that to hurry a child in matters of discipline as in others. only causes trouble. Spanking, she noted, is quick and easy but it humiliates the child. He can take this occasion- \ ally, however, if he is sure inside that you love him 1 and have his interests at Mrs. MacGregor stressed that discipline must be above all. consistent. The same results must always follow from the same causes - hands should be washed after the toilet and [before meals every time. Summing up. Mrs. Mac- Gregor gave a list of sugges- tions for effecting good discip- line. These were: responsibility for himself, he can lose confidence in himself. BY MARGARET I. McLEAN 1.
