to be neglected. For this reason
it must be spontaneous. and, must
have variety. .
B'ut the parents should no that
so far as posiblc’tho play excr-
clse is taken under wholesome con.
dinons. Let the children wear
"
rompers. or other clothing which
allows full body motion. Much of
the playing of younger children
will necessarily be indoors. so by
all means have an abundance of
fresh air and sunlight in the play
room. Have exercise bars and
other apparatus. if desired and
possible and also mats or blankets
for floor exercises. A child will be
apt to exercise better to music than
without it. especially If its parents
take the exercises at the same time.
For this the phonograph or the
radio-musical programs are ex-
cellent.
A child should not be driven to
exercise. but exercise should be
made so attractive that he will be
eager for it. If the'parents will
relax from their stiff and decomus
posing occasionally to join their
children in their fun. the entire
family will benefit greatly and that
priceless relationship between par-
ents and children—that of pals—-
will be established.
Parents must be careful. how.
ever. that the child. shall not. be
injured by play of too rough a.
character. and that. it shall not be
continued so long as to produce
excessive fatigue. nervousness and
insomnia; or restlessness at night.
For it is a. fact that children are
rather irresponsible in these mat-
ters. and have a tendency to be-
come highly excited in their little
games. losing thereby some of the
good they might gain from them
if they were kept within reasonable
bounds. g
Excessive fatigue. as is well
known. causes an overload of tox-
ic material in the blood-stream.
which poisons and irritates the
nerves and the brain cells. and in-
fluences unfavorably every organ
and function in the body.
— The sound common sense of the
parents will guide them in advis-
ing the children. and in exercising
an unobtrusive super-vision over
them lr, this most interesting phase
of their development.
