This is the eighth in a series of specially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Mental Hearth Center staff. This article is "Coping--The Hyperactive Child-Treatment"). If after careful screening and diagnosis a child is found to be hyperactive, that is, has a discernable neurological * ex­ planation for uncontrollable behavior, there are several treatment programs that can be instituted. A combination of these treatment programs offers the best prognosis for successful alleviation of the child's symptoms. The most popular and earliest form of treatment is medication. It has been found that many stimulants,, in­ cluding caffeine, am­ phetamines, and am- phetamine-like derivatives, have a paradoxical effect on the hyperactive child. That is, these drugs; which would or­ dinarily increase activity and stimulate the nervous system, have the opposite, or calming, effect on the hyperactive child. The drugs used have a rather potent effect, and dosages must be monitored closely by a physician The lowest effective dosage is prescribed, and the child is periodically removed from medication to determine its effect. Parents of a hyperactive child need to be an integral part of the treatment program. As any parent of a hyperactive child can attest, the child's behavior is irritating, and parents often build a resent­ ment towards the child and tend to be rather punitiv* in an attempt to deal witlylhe child's behavior. Parents can be taught some techniques to deal more successfully with the child's behavior. The techniques are easy to learn and, if used properly, are ex­ tremely successful in both controlling the child's behavior and improving the feelings of the parents for the child. The same techniques, with some modifications, can be used with the child's teacher in the school. In severe cases, special education classes may be indicated until the child becomes more controllable. Finally, the child himself can be treated on an individual basis in the Mental Health clinic Therapy for the child has two goals: to reduce hyperactive behavior and to increase self esteem. The child has learned over a period of time that his behavior has caused people to react negatively to him, with the result that the child feels a loss of self confidence. Therapy, therefore, is aimed at sup­ porting the child's self image and helping him to control his own behavior.

NEEDS TO S A Y N O DEAR NEEDS: What you need is a refresher course in male-female relations. If the guy is being obnoxious and you-have no intention of ever seeing him socially again, tell him so. Don't waste time with weak excuses. Be blunt. Simply tell him you're not available -- everand stick by your guns. Giving into him will only make matters worse My boyfriend is very, very polite He's always a gentleman and he follows the traditional male role when we go out on dates He won't ever let me treat him to a night out and insists on paying the check whenever we do anything. I would like to'Jtake him out occasionally just to show him how much I appreciate him. but he considers the idea an insult. What do I do to convince him Chicago (NFS) -- Dollhouses are in fashion - again. In the past few years, the art of creat­ ing dollhouses, complete with miniature furniture and acces­ sories, has seen a resurgence. Miniaturists, those crafts people who specialize in making the tiny homes, pride themselves in the detail and authenticity of their work. Craft and hobby shops sell miniature flowers, newspapers, toys, dishes, everything to make a miniature room an exact reproduction of the rooms we exactly live in. Fine dollhouses are not something new, however. They were status symbols 300 years ago in Europe. Furnished like the home of wealthy nobility, the best dollhouses of those times came complete with doll people: elegantly dressed royal men and women in the ball­ rooms, maids in the laundries, and children in the nurseries. EACH ROOM reflected the lifestyle of the period to the smallest detail. For example, the kitchen even had tiny knives, pots, dishes, baskets, and brooms./ Those dollhouses were so nsive that only a few pie could afford them. Peter the Gteat of Russia once ordered a dollhouse but when it was delivered, he refused it. The price was just too much. Mary of Tech, the wife^of England's King George V, owned a million-dollar doll- house with tiny pianos that actually played and miniature paintings by famous artists of the day. TEAMS OF artisans would work to create those early doll­ houses. Everything was hand made. All of the furniture was carved, for few tools were available for such delicate work. Today's miniaturists are usually able to do the work of several types of artisans. He or she is aided, however, with a variety of specialized tools, both hand and power-operated. Small power grinders, flex­ ible shaft tools, jig saws, and even power lathes are made especially for the piniaturist. How do today's miniatures compare with those of yester­ year? While few people have spent a million on a modern dollhouse, many have invested thousands of hours of their time. And, with the use of modern tools, many miniatur­ ists are able to turn out work that rivals, if not surpasses, the excellent craftsmanship found in the best dollhouses of old Europe. there's nothing wrong with a girl taking a man out if she wants9 O V E R R U L E D DEAR OVERRULED: If your gentleman friend won't let you foot the bill then offer to serve him a home-cooked meal Prepare a special dinner that you couldn't get at a restaurant and see if that won't express your feelings just as nicely as a night on the town.
