Show Derr.ccracy Benins at Home, We!3- - uiovn Educator Says Troubled r Meats seeking to strike a balance between the parental mailed fist and the kid glove will find many helpful hints on democratic discij line in Ernest Osborne's new pamphlet. Democracy Begins In The Home. Dr. Osborne, Professor of Education at Teacheis College and writer on parent education, examines a varcly of typical family situations to show how democracy can be learned in everyday family life. Authoritarian parents, he sug gests, as well as those who "do everything" for their children, will alike end up with offsprings who are unprepared for adult roles as responsible citizens Disciplining children is much more than using force on them, the author points out. In its wider sense it is teaching them to do what is necessary for people to live happily together. Parents should not act as if they owned" their children, but should be guided by respect for them as individuals who share in a cooperative venture. Children should be given opportunities to make simple choices from an early age for only in that way can they learn to make decisions, and take the consequences of poor ones. There is no one right way for a family to operate democratically," , J' - tef mg FRIDAY. APRIL 17. 1953 Contract writes Dr. Osborne, "Democracy as a way of life may be expressed quite differently in different families. What is important is that the spiut of cooperative sharing of consideration for the rights of each in the group is expressed through whatever is done." The family council plan is discussed as helpful in giving children a sense of belonging" and sharing in family problems. Gripe sessions where children air their views help some families live more satisfactorily together. Family - centered hobbies and projects are recommended In giving children common interests with parents. Building a summer cabin together with all the children pitching in. crafts activities stamp collecting photography all can contribute to the sense of family closeness that means so much. Democratic family living not only repays us in satisfaction and happiness. concludes Dr. Osborne.' But on the larger scene our children must be taught the essence of deof mocracy in the family life if the struggle against dictatorship and statism is to be successful. Democracy as an ideal will never be meaningful to them if they are not.
