“A child in its greed for love does not enjoy having to share the affection of its parents with its brothers and sisters; and it notices that the whole of their affection is lavished upon it once more whenever it arouses their anxiety by falling ill.

Disregarding this simple fact is the great error into which parents and educators fall when they rely on these negative means of correction.
