The more verbal communication there is in the home, the easier it is for a child to be successful in verbal communication com-munication at school. When family members communicate often, children learn to absorb large amounts of information, which in turn helps children learn more readily in school. If parent-child conversations are brief, a child may have problems paying attention at-tention to teachers for more than a few minutes. It is also important that parents spend time actively listening to their children. This listening time will help children learn how to freely express their thoughts and feelings. There are four characteristics of an individual's productivity that closely relate to a child's achievement in school. These areas are: - 1. Independent Work: Children benefit when they have some of their own tasks to perform in a given time frame. They learn to do things on their own initiative and to be responsible. This benefit is demonstrated in doing homework and other independent projects. 2. Tast Completion: Families can teach children to persist and continue to work until a standard or goal is met. A "determination deficiency" among students is perhaps the greatest cause of failure in school. 3. Pride in Achieving: Self-esteem in every person is partly determined by feelings of genuine personal accomplishment. ac-complishment. Parents need to make sure that each child succeeds at something regularly. Children benefit when they know their parents approve of their abilities. If parents are too harsh and critical, children may become afraid of failure and therefore refrain from attempting anything. If you assign a nine-year-old a certain task, do all you can to help him succeed suc-ceed and feel good about his efforts. Then you must be patient and content with the quality of the job that a nine-year-old is capable of. The emotional stability of children depends on their belief that people will like and approve of them. When families are loving and openly nutur-ing nutur-ing children, they will transfer that secure feeling to schoolmates and friends. On the other hand, if a child is frightened of or anticipates disapproval, disap-proval, it is difficult for the child to concentrate, perform and succeed. There is clear evidence that successful suc-cessful children come from families where rules and routines are a regular part of the family life. Parents in these families are able to set up a constructive construc-tive routine for such events as meals, getting up in the morning, going to bed, family trips, etc. Family rules, consistently enforced, can uniformly govern the tasks children perform, and when and how they act toward other family members. Children form attitudes about achieving and learning based on the example parents set. If parents do not show, in their actions and conversations, conversa-tions, the importance they place on learning and school, then children are not likely to value these opportunities either. There is much that parents can do at home to support their children's efforts ef-forts to succeed in school, l ,n ents first need to look at what subjects their children excel in and then decide on which subjects they can improve in. Once that process begins, children will find a general atmosphere of growth and learning to be a regular part of their home environment, Dr, Lee Bur-nham Bur-nham offers suggestions for making the home an extension of the classroom in his book.

In Boston, the dropout rate amoung high school students now exceeds the graduation rate. Boston is not unique. Other large cities are. struggling to keep the dropout rate from exceeding 50 percent. Utah is lucky. We have one of the lowest dropout rates. Though we are not yet touched by an extremely high dropout rate, we must consider it a tragedy when even one student drops out. Last year, 2,813 Utah students dropped out of school. Schools try to provide alternative programs to buy young dropouts time to get their lives in order and come to the realization that dropping out of school creates more problems than it solves. Though reasons for dropping out vary, dropouts usually have these characteristics: Poor academic skills, low self-esteem, low socio-economic status, and trouble with human relationships. Parents can prevent the heart-ache and waste of a child dropping out of school if they begin early to help (ml) What is continuum care? Continuum of care is a term that many may have heard before. When applied to the services that Uintah Basin counseling provides, it means that we provide the needed services to the individual or group in the least restrictive manner. Another way to describe a continuum of care is service ranging from the least costly to the most costly. The least costly service is education and prevention service. The most costly is inpatient care. Through providing a full continuum of services, costs can be contained and services stretched for a diversity of needs. Uintah Basin Counseling Inc. is providing pro-viding this continuum in the following manner: 1. Inpatient services are provided or contracted for in local hospitals, the state hospital or in other hospitals in the state. 2. Residential and after-care services ser-vices are provided locally by center staff in facilities located in the Basin. Examples include The Alternative House as a social detox center and The Friends Home for the chronically VOTE DONNA RICHENS Uintah County Treasurer V . 1 ; AN.

We may not be able to do much about our socio-economic status, but we can set the stage for school success. It isn't wise to wait until a child is in the vulnerable junior high school years to help academic performance and the development of self-esteem and social skills. Dropout prevention should begin before a young child enters school with frequent positive statements about the value of learning. It will pay dividends to the child, the family, and society. Sixty percent of all prison inmates in the USA are high school dropouts. Taxpayers are billed about $30,000 a year for each inmate. That's more than 10 times the amount necessary to pay for one year of schooling. Each year, dropouts cost taxpayers of this country $75 billion in welfare benefits and lost revenues, a high cost to everyone including those who abandon learning at an early age.
