Volunteers needed for kids' program You can in the lives of manythHdMfrttwtrtigh the “Mr. Thumbody” childhood selfesteem programs which reach children ages kindergarten through third grade in Elkhart County. Each program helps children develop the emotional skills needed to handle life’s challenges and remind them they they are “Thumbody Special.” A youngster’s self-esteem can have just as great an effect on his/her learning process as will any teaching technique or study skill. Children who like themselves and feel successful in some areas of their lives usually do better in school than youngsters with low self-esteem, regardless of their IQ or educational program. You are invited to lend a hand in making this difference by being a caring person and a good listener, and having at least two or three hours a week to share. For more information, please contact Lillian at the Mental Health Association, 421 S. Second St., Suite 340, Elkhart, IN. Telephone 219-295-8935.
