According ' to Miss Margueritte Briggs, loyalty, morale, and unity are all strengthened by family group activity, and a climate is produced in which the child can learn and develop adequately. Miss Briggs summarizes these advantages of family group activity: You learn to know your child better, and he learns to know you. He learns to work and play by doing. He accepts family responsibilities because he's in on the planning and feels he's respected as a family member. Another advantage of family group activity is that the family learn to work together for a common goal -- whether it be a job or a game. And this unity will help them withstand periods of j stress. j But even when your family is i sharing in group activities, re- -i member that you cannot expect your child to be a perfectionist. It is far better to keep him interested and eager to participate than to stress that he do his part as well as an adult. The child's attitude is much more im^ portant than is the end product of some project. v DESMOND FORTNER ELECTED COMMANDER DISABLED VETERANS Desmond C.
