DO PARENTS GIVE TOO MUCH?
D<> Parents (.he Too Much? Nobody needs to be told that many teenagers ate in trouble Instead of buuilding a stronger, better society, they seem intent on tearing it apart This in turn, has caused agonized parents to ask, "where haw we failed" ? N'ow comes a noted pediatrician and practicing, physician. Dr. Edwin F. Patton .who dec laics that parents of teenage and youthful failures have been leaping to the wrong com 1 isions. The problem, he s tys. is not because parents have done to little for their children, but that they have done too much. "Most parents," Dr. Patton recently told parade Magazine, "feel that if they provide their children with an easy life in a comfortable home, health care, indulgent discipline, casual exposure t<> basic education, and a world of fun. they have fulfilled all the requirements. "The present vogue is for parents to make life* as soft as possible for their young, to spare them from onerous experiences of all kinds, to remove all obstacles from their paths ” And that, in Dr. Pattons opinion, is the woist thing that

parents can do The reason he said, is that in doing so parents deprive children of "the furmat ion and development ot the ability to cope*. Kids who grow ip living the life' of a frecloader expect it to continue permanently. So it can be a rude shock for them to realize that instead of privileges .and provisions, they have duties, obligations and responsibilities." The answer. Dr. Patton insists. is that children must be made to learn that "life is a ruthlessly competitive barter in which the individual has to deliver things if he wants things in exchange; that what a person gets out of life is pretty much measured by what he pits into it; that enjoyment must be earned; and that the only true and enduring satisfaction comes through construtive accomplishment." Dr Patton has a lot going to back him up The youth who accidentally killed themselves in New Yory recently were making their bombs in a $250.00.00 house If Dr. Patton is right, the reason for their demise is not because they were given too little, but because they were given too much.

He had ma up putting the fire wood in the kitchen stove and the living room and off he went to rescue the passengers on the buried train Soon the old farm house was alive with chatter and ma fixed breakfast for the gang.
