[(63)Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents.]By playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents.[ (64)Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation.] Building-block toys and jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
[(65)Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness and indulgence towards their children.] Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
[(66)As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very_ important in parental teaching.]To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.[ (67)Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept".]
