FLAG ORDER 3168
NANNY HAT WRITE-UP
The following is an extract from a letter from Captain Mary Sue Hubbard in
reply to a request for her Nanny Hat Write-Up. This is now issued as
advice for use in the Sea Org in the handling of children:
- Maintain the schedule laid down. Young children actually do prefer
order in their enviroment.
- Never punish children, but do run good 8-C and good control without
any lower tone scale emotions and actions.
- Never force a child to eat; have an abundant supply of fruits rich
in Vitamine C available for them to eat instead.
- A child's possessions are his own. Never enforce sharing if the
child does not want to do so. Wih good 8-C, do enforce ownership if one
child has taken the mest of another.
- Never use one child as an example for good or for bad to other
children.
- Do answer a child's questions simply and with reality. If you do
not know, do not give incorrect data; but say that you do not
know.
- Treat a child as a being. Do not pretend to be infallible. If you
have done something wrong, apologize. In other words, children can be
right, too.
- Do not encourage children to tell tales. If they do, ask them how
they have handled the situation. Encourage them to handle their own
inter-personal relationships.
- Let a child help, but do not enforce its help.
- Keep small children busy doing something - but do not enforce such,
just have things for them to do or play with. Encourage them to create
things to do or to play.
That's about it - rather off the cuff, but the major points are there.
Love,
Mary Sue
