Emotional needs important

By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec. Don’t overlook your child’s emotional needs this school year. This applies to older children as well as to “first timers" beginning kindergarten or first grade. But attention is particularly important for young children. Age six is a difficult time for youngsters and first grade is a giant step because of the changed pattern of life it brings. Although many children just starting school may seem confident and self-sufficient, they still have a great need to give and receive attention. Perhaps it’s this impression of self-sufficiency that ailows some of their emotional needs to be overlooked. The sixyear old probably isn’t receiving the kind of attention he or she did as a toddler. But in this time of change they need to know even more than before that they are loved and valued by the family. Unlike when a baby takes its first steps or says its first words, parents may take the first school accomplishment for granted. But none of us is so old that we don’t like a little appreciation. Research shows that as children grow past the nursery school age, they tend to receive less praise and more disapproval from parents. Parents may ignore them until they do something wrong. True, six-year-olds are past the stage of lap sitting and wanting to be cuddled — at least not in public — but parents can show the same interest'and affection in different ways. Here are some suggestions on how to provide the emotional support that children beginning school need in big doses. 1. Share time and activities with your child. Reading together, walks, a game of catch or just a shared trip to run errands indicates interest and concern. 2. Listening is critical. Listening with interest tells another that we value him or her as a person and that we really love therrr>-—

LOUISA’S LETTER -

Dear Louisa: 1 have a wife who talks too much. She chatters incessantly and never says anything of importance. All the time I am reading or watching television, she is asking questions or shouting some gossip at me. What can I do to slow her down without hurting her feelings? Mere Man, Pa. Answer: You probably see lots of people during the day and by the time night comes, you have heard all the news and exchanged views with half a dozen people. Your wife, on the other hand, has been busy at home all day with no one to talk with and only the babies for company. Cosequently, by the time you come in she is all set for a nice chatty evening, while all you are looking for is peace and rest for a worried mind.

Refreshments and fellowship followed the meeting. Debra Darr in Germany Debra S. Darr of Syracuse, a 1975 graduate of Wawasee High School, is now stationed in Heilbroom, Germany. She joined the U.S. Army in 1977. Her friends may write to her at, 315-64-4557 B-BTRY 3 84 F.S. 09176 — APO New York.

The best solution to such a problem, I think, is for you to make it a plan to devote part of the evening to her and claim a part for yourself. Don’t grab the paper or turn on the TV the minute you get in the house. Tell her the news and listen to what she has to say. Let her know that you want to read the paper and see your favorite programs, but that you are also interested in her. You probably found her vivacity one of her main attractions before you were married so naturally she thinks you still enjoy some lively conversation. And if she turned grumpy on you now and kept quiet all of the time, you would no doubt miss her talkativeness. Try to get together on this problem by putting yourself in the other fellow’s shoes. Louisa. Address letters: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg. S.C. 29115
