Convalescent Children
HE A.C.E. gave an excellent talk ‘’ from 2YA on a recent Friday on Amusements for the Convalescent Child. Beginning with the axiom that the convalescent child should be regarded as from six months to a year younger than his actual age, and the treatment varied accordingly, Joan Paterson proceeded to give listeners not only ideas for entertainment but also hints on food for the
convalescent and methods of administering unwelcomed medicine. Towards the end of the talk she conveniently (for listeners) forgot her . convalescent child in favour of children in general, and outlined suggestions for the conduct of parents which were obviously commonsense without being banal, and
had the advantage of being almost as easy for the parent to put into practice as for the child to follow. For practical helpfulness I thought nothing would beat the preceding Wednesday’s .talk on home-preserving "Self-Sealing Lids," but Friday’s talk rose triumphantly to the more exacting demands of its subject.
