| Arguments between father and son
are not uncommon in a family. However, on one such occasion this argument between
a father and his adolescent son was more energetic. The energy was in the form
of more 'heat' to intensify the argument than ht' to pacify it. The argument came
to an abrupt stop when the son suddenly blurted: "You have always showed
a dislike for me - more when I was a child". The father
later questioned the mother of the son whether he was not affectionate ugh to
their son when a child, to buy him things he wanted by stretching his own limited
means, - and whether he did not generally act as a good father to the son during
his childhood. And then the father asked a very pertinent
question: Was he not a good disciplinarian father out of affection for his child?
"Disciplinarian" he was, but the attempt was discipline not the child
but also the nature in the child over which the child himself j no control, and
therefore the affection for the child was seen by the child as a like for him.
Bundle Of Energy. A child gains and therefore expends
the physical energy more than the mental one. is virtually a bursting bundle of
physical energy. He cannot keep himself still for I long period of time. When
he wants to walk, he finds himself running. He would instead of walking briskly
to the refrigerator for a can of juice. He would sprint ahead and then wait for
his parents to catch up with him when they all stroll together- in the street.
Even in the state of sleep, the child shows his bursting energy. He changes his
sides quickly flinging his limbs in the process in his sleep.
