Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

The problem is not, therefore, to suppress change, which cannot be done, but to manage it.

Since the birth of a child alters all the human ties within a family, it ought not, perhaps, be followed too closely by a relocation which causes tremendous turn-over in human ties outside the family. The recent widow should not, perhaps, rush to sell her house. But to achieve this, we need far more potent tools.
