Now to action. The child is full of activity, and one child in a room is like hundred children. He is always active, he does not know what to do. Therefore he is destructive. He may spoil things. If you stop him from one thing, he goes to another, and in order to awaken in him that sense of what is destructive, what would make things wrong, one will waken in him that desire for harmony. Besides for a child to consider others, the comfort of others the importance of the work of others, these are all necessary things. There is a saying in the East that, "A good manner in the child means good luck, bad manner means bad luck." And one can easily see the reason of it. That good manner attracts love, affection, and good will from all sides, and it helps the child to grow.
