CHILD GUIDANCE Neainess In School Work Sets Pattern For Life By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Recently we considered help- ing the child under 6 or 7 to acquire reasonable neatness, Today let us think of neainess in the school child. In addition to his learning neatness of body and ciothes and personal habits, there is the problem of his learning to be neat and tidy with his written schoolwork, Anything we can do to encourage him in learning to write by hand clearly and neatly from his early school years should contribute to his neatness of written work all through his school life. Most children in Grade 1 or 2 use manuscript writing, a mod- ified form of printing. Parents of children in these grades do well to grow familiar with man- writing so they can en- courage the child to do it care- fully, neatly and clearly. When the child begins cursive writ- ing, his parents need to be con- cerned that. he does it neatly, too. Some children with poor fin; ger and hand co-ordination find it hard to write legibly and neatly. They might gain in co- ordination from fun with play- things and other activities. CALM CHILD Whether children have good or poor co-ordination, they may be unduly excitable and. inclined to hurry. Perhaps no one thing can help a child so much acquire good writing skill as to calm him down and induce him to write more slowly. From inspecting your child's written work when he is 8 or 10, you may find it looks ugly, that the letters are not clearly made or that his alignment is poor. His teacher may have called his bad handwriting to your atten- tion. If he seems nervous or excitable or to have poor co- ordination, you might have him MNUGL MI Lei VA ae In any event, your chief prob-| lem is to win him to want to write more neatly and legibly. It may be desirable to work on the whole family and its atmo- sphere and relationships in or- der to help your child generally to be more calm. Here is a plan by which you might get good results: Provide -him with lined paper. At the top of the sheet write a good model for him to copy. Prevail on him to write under this each evening two or three lines as carefully and well as he can. It may be better to have the model line on a heavy slip of paper or light cardboard. INFLUENCES FUTURE After he wrote a line under it and blotted it, have him move the slip down over the line he last wrote and continue in this way to write several lines. Then he would always be copying from the model and not from the last line he wrote. Proceed in like manner if he does not write figures well in arithematic work. Try to win this child to let you inspect his written work for school and be willing to redo it if it does not look fairly neat. The neatness and legibility of your child's written work will mean much to him all his school life. It will give him personal DISTAFF DIARY Summary of reports of meetings and activities of Oshawa women's organizations as compiled from reports submitted by their secretaries, ALBERT STREET Hi and 8 Albert Street Home and School Association held its first meeting of the season with the installation of the new executive, by Mrs. Lloyd Har- low, a past-president.
