JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN-I have a 14-year-old boy who doesn’t do well in school. Each semester he flunks some of his subjects and gets poor grades in others. He is lazy and won't work unless he is pushed. My two older boys have been honor students. They are bright, energetic, and have made good in athletics as ‘well as In scholarship. Both have tried to help their brother but he just won't work. His teachers hardly can believe he belongs to the same family. We have tried to shame him into doing better by pointing to his brothers’ achievements. It does no good; he just won't work. He likes to make toys and things with his hands but says he hates books and doesn’t like athletics. Once he said he would like to take piano lessons but wouldn't promise to practice. His brothers think it is a little sissy for a boy to play the piano but I don’t think so at all, providing he would really work at it. I just don’t have any confidence in his stick-to-it-iveness. He isn’t a bad boy. He is just so lazy and indifferent. Can you help me? WORRIED MOTHER.

" o =

Answer—The first thing I would do is to drop all unfavorable comparisons with his brothers, for they are at the root of his trouble If you could put him in a different school where the teachers knew nothing of his brothers’ records it would be an advantage. If this isn’t possible, try to gain the co-operation of his teachers in regarding him as an individual separate from his brothers. Explain that he has been very much overshadowed and discour=aged by his older brothers and that he needs encouragement, not criticism. This all began when he was a very small child and felt extremely weak and helpless beside his brothers. He couldn’t walk, talk, or hold his own with other children as well. It never occurred to him to blame his inadequacy on his tender years. He thought there was something the matter with him, that he was made of inferior clay and just wasn’t smart Then as he grew older he noted his parent’s admiration for his brothers and interpreted it as a rejection of himself. He didn’t feel loved and adopted a what’s-the-use attitude which brought him more condemnation and made him feel less able than ever. His laziness 1s a defense against the work at which he is afraid he will fail. I think it would be excellent for him to take piano lessons and succeed at something his brothers can’t do. It would help to restor: his self-esteem and establish a feeling of equality. If he can make things with his hands why not send him to a technical high school where he can find an outlet for his ability? Your cue is to praise the things he makes and find a use for them around the house. Schools give various achievement and aptitude tests which, while they are not accurate measurements of a child’s intelligence, do give us an idea of what he can do. Many times a poor student passes these tests with flying colors, thus proving that his poor grades are the result of emotional troubles and attitudes rather than a lack ot intelligence. See that your boy gets these tests, and if he passes them well, explain his problem to him. The knowledge that he does not lack ability will do wonders for him. JANE JORDAN.
