THE CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH One of the best guarantees of a happy child is a set of happy parents. In this era, young parents par-ents are so flooded with articles, books and lectures on how they should care for their children that it begins to seem an appalling impossib.e task. They may see their children as a group of little responsibilities rather than human hu-man beings who can be a source of enjoyment and pleasure. The very desire to be the best pos-harrassed, pos-harrassed, confused, and irritable with their children. Most parents worry too much rather than too liuio about their children. Children's emotional needs are simple. They need to feel loved, secure and have opportunities op-portunities for new growth and experience. All children have a strong desire to be good; yet, they are filled with feelings such as resentment, rebelliousness, and greediness, which they don't feel equal to handling by themselves. Parents can help thei.-i control these feelings, and thus fi-el secure, se-cure, by sound firm discipline. Since parents are human beings too, and have feelings of their own, it is impossible to be completely com-pletely consistent in their discipline, disci-pline, but the parent should certainly cer-tainly try to make the rules consistent, few in number and of a nature that can be followed by the child with some degree of comfort. Out rf concern that he might pass up soricthing of importance im-portance the parent may at times tend to be critical of every slight leflection on the part of the child. The result? The child begins to see himself as a very bad child who never does anytht ig right No child can be good al .the time. It is enough to ask that he be good most of the time. If the parent stresses important things and lets the little things go for the child to pick up later by himself, him-self, and if he lets the child know he considers him satisfactory if he complies most of the time, the child will begin to see himself as good and pleasing on the whole and will try harder to include other things which he feels will please the parents. It is hard for a parent to know whether he is expecting too much or too little of a child. He can read books on what the average child of that age group should be able to do, but since each child is different that is not always an adequate criterion. If the child fails more often than he succeeds or if he is tense and anxious about the tasks, it may be that too much is expected of him, and demands de-mands should be relaxed to a point where he can hurdle them more comfortably. On the other hand, parents should remember that the child gets much satisfaction satis-faction from mastering new skills. They should not do for him things which he can do for himself. The child who has everything done for him may also be tense and lack confidence in his own ability. Further help will be given the child if the parent lets him know that all his feelings are acceptable accept-able but that a sharp firm line is drawn as to what is permissible and what is not permissible in the way of expressing them. For example, ex-ample, the parent can let the child know that he understands how disappointed or angry the child feels when he is refused a privilege and the child is permitted per-mitted to discuss his feeling fully, but he can not be pennitted to strike the parent or take the privilege anyway. We might remember that this applies also to parent. Parents have feelings of all kinds toward their children. These include pride and pleasure in the child, annoyance, annoy-ance, resentment, at times anger that is more intense than the situation sit-uation would justify. The child can sense these feelings, and if the parent can accept his right to these feelings and feel comfortable comfort-able about them, the result will be better mental health for Loth ! parent and child.
