Mother -child: 1. An unloving mother -child is probably more likely to part with a child; the child may sense her lack of affection.
2. The child is not easy to love; in fretting for his mother -child he tends to reject others; if he does become attached to someone else, he is greedy and jealous in the relationship.
3. On his return to his mother -child, he may fail to recognize her, or reject her outright, or behave in a possessive and whining manner.
To build your set of samples, go to the mother -child of the most charming child you can find, a child with an intelligent face and bright expressions, and offer to give the mother -child a picture of her baby without charge if she'll have her child model for you. Tell her frankly that you need the pictures for samples. She will be proud to cooperate.
Then proceed to shoot dozens of pictures of that child.
Shoot several sittings, spacing them far enough apart for you to see the final results of each sitting before you shoot another, and shoot ten times as many negatives as you would in an ordinary sitting.
The idea, you see, is to assemble a set of pictures of this one child which will bring agonies of envy to every other mother -child who sees this masterpiece set.
After school, on their way home the child asked timidly, "mother -child, chocolate malted?" and looked up at her mother -child beseechingly.
"No pea soup, no chocolate malted," her mother -child answered firmly.
At home the mother -child began to prepare dinner. The child stayed around, asked for water and got it. Seeing that she was going to get nothing else, she went to play quietly with her blocks. Sitting on the Floor she put the blocks one on top of another forming a tower and then suddenly she smashed them down on the floor. She did the same thing five times, perhaps as an expression of aggression that she dared not even feel toward her mother -child.
