That unpleasant or alarming talk about illness should not go on before children is evident. Sickness in itself is so unpleasant to a child that it need not be emphasized by talk. Do not threaten a child with illness because of some minor indiscretion unless you expect him to be fearful of it. There is no reason why illness should strike fear into the heart of a child unless he has learned that fear from others. Aimless talk about illness has. little justification. In the first place, the subject is unpleasant except to the per- son retailing his past woes and tribul- ations. Moreover, excessive indulgence in this form of gossip seems a sign of an unhealthy mental state.
