Sensitive Child Not to Be Wounded by Indifference—Young children love society. They cannot, as a general thing, enjoy themselves alone, and the mother should feel that, in most cases, the place for her children, when they are in the house, is in the room she occupies. She can then have a general oversight of them; be prepared to set little differences right, when appealed to by them; correct wrong habits or the manifestation of selfishness or passion; and can give their minds a turn in the right direction. That which children enjoy, they think mother can be pleased with, and it is perfectly natural for them to consult mother in little matters of perplexity. {1MCP 168.2}

Et følsomt barn skal ikke skades af ligegyldighed. - Unge børn elsker selskab. Generelt kan de ikke nyde sig selv alene, og moderen bør i de fleste tilfælde føle pladsen for hendes børn, når de er i huset, er i det rum som hun besidder. Hun kan da have et generelt overblik over dem; være parat til at rette til små ting, når det siges til dem; rette forkerte vaner eller vise selviskhed eller lidenskab; og give deres sind en den rette drejning. Det som børn nyder, tror de at moderen kan behages af, og det er fuldstændigt naturligt for dem at spørge moderen om små ting der trænger dem på.
