Parenting courses for children urged during the school years By MAGGIE HANNAH arid ir ihn i By MAGGIE HANNAH writer A mandatory program for both boys and girts dealing with the growth and develop ment of young children should be included in the Ontario school curriculum says Eric principal of George town Howard Wrlneleswarth public school Mr told the Holy Parents Association at a nesting last week that he has mode parenting education his top priority in his personal efforts to help young children Since today s parents often will not make use of what help Is available to ease the burden of being parents he has turned his attention to the future generation he said The result Is his suggestion of a special program to teach adolescents about very young children The program should be In fairly early probably in Grades and 10 before the lfey earolds can start drop ping out There are a few Family Life courses In existence which include some information on but Usually this is Introduced at the Grade 12 level That Is leaving It too late he says Family Life studies are us Holly an enlargement of what was once called Home Econ Therefore the chances of a boy taking the course are almost ml This Mr feels Is unfortunate because boys make up exactly half of any set of parents The course should include both the theory of how a child develops as found in current research and studies and pro In dealing with them as they grow The simplest way to give practical experience he feels would be to put day care centres into high schools There is a crying need for more day care and no money to operate it Since enrollments are dec lining many high schools During Ontario Minis try of Industry and Tourism trade missions introduced 326 Ontario companies to Interna markets in countries The program consisted of separate sales missions and initial sales were estimated at million and It appears that the trend will continue there should be room to set up such a facility without adding to present structures he says cents could then see and work with the tats and thus learn much that would help prepare them for their role as future He points out that many people feel that being a parent is just doing what comes naturally The battered child syndrome Is an example of what comes naturally to some parents he soys because usu ally a child was once a beaten child The way overcome some of the frustration that leads to child abuse he suggests is to educate adolescents In the nor ma I ways of a young child A six monthold infant un dcrslands words and is begin to make sounds By age 3 the basic adult vocabulary is understood and established Mr listen to their child answer his questions and try to explain things to him arc enchanciug his language development Mr calls toddlers a mobile monument to cur He points out that parents of toddlers should know that curiosity is greater than their self restraint at the IB month twoyearold stage They should also realize that the mouth is the natural organ for exploring things and thus they show no dlscrlmlmiion in the objects they pop Into their mouths who are aware of these facts may well react unwisely to the constant frustration ihur children in Social development is in its critical stiges during the first four years of a child life he says This is where the child learns a warm and loving human being or cold and with drawn depending on the type of environment In which he lives The roots of a child s Intel leel also develop at this age and parents must realize that each ri learns to perform must be practlsrd constantly
