Too-Free Advice
May Be Resented
1$V ALICIA HART
MCA Staff Writer
One of the most difficult ex-
ercises is self-discipline for a
new grandmother is to avoid of-
fering free advice on baby care
to the young mother.
It is a natural impulse, writes
a beloved grandmother of eight
young grandchildren, for a wo-
man who has raised a family to
want to pass along all the ad-
vice she can cull from her exper-
ience.
But says this wise woman, she
should realize that many young
parents prefer to seek answers
;o problems from their pedia-
tricians, from child-care special-
ists or from books written by
unbiased authorities.
Best rule for a grandmother
to follow in the interests of
smooth family relations is to
wait until her advice is sought.
If it is asked for, she can express
her views on health measures
or methods of discipline, says
our friend who practices what
she preaches.
This wise grandmother keeps
up with new studies dealing
with child care and admits open-
ly that the old-fashioned way is
not necessarily the best. When
her advice is asked for—as it is
with flattering frequency — her
children are sure that her an-
swers stem from reasoned judg-
ment based on past experience
and modern information.
