A mother and her four children enact a mental health situation revolving around stress in motherhood, raising a family, and sharing living space. The caption reads: "The eldest child resents her mother's concentration on the baby, the displaced youngster tugs at Mother's skirts, and the third child sucks her thumb in a return to her own babyhood. Mental health problems arise from childhood rivalries. Early treatment can correct most difficulties, but the best mental health safeguard is prevention."
