W. Beath Regienal Chairman CW.Lundy, AMGCT Regional Clerk Ar ound Our Town by Donna Faire y Describes Care of Hyperactive Child By Donna Fairey Pediatric Neurologist and Child Psycbologist with Sick Children's Hospital, Dr. Marcel Kinsbourne, teld a group of parents and teachers that byperactive or hyper- kinetic children are net a different species from the rest of us. The Board of Educatien's Year ef the Child Committee secured Dr. Kinsbourne as guest speaker last Tuesday evening at Trinity Church as one of a series of events planned te celebrate Interna- tional Year of the Child. "The first step toward dealing with the preblem," stated Dr. Kingbourne, "is the identification of the hyper- active child. The diagnosis of tbese cbildren is the path te apprepriate action," he said. "There is ne complete*test te determine a byperactive child," said Dr. Kinsbourne, "he must be judged by the way he acts." More Common in Beys The doctor noted a higer incidence of byperactive boys than girls. The hyperactîve child is restless, inattentive, impul- sive, fidgety, craves attention, runs risks and displays an abnormally high energy level. "The difficultv in identifica- tien," said Dr. Kinsbourne, "it is bard te day wbere the norm stops and hyperactivity begins. " "A person wbo is hyperac- tive differs from the rest of us only in degrees," be said. "Notbing tbese children do is abnormal, tbey just do what other people do but they do se much more of it," he explain- ed. The extent of severity differs according te the indi- vidual. "These children, who are referred te in the medical field as 'underfocusers' tend to bave problems keeping friends and forming lasting relationships," said Dr. Kins- bourne. He pointed out that hyperac- tivity is not a disease. "Lt is net that they are sick or tbe brain is messed up, it's just the way they are and tbey probably inherited it," he said. Boredom Dr. Kinsbourne toid the group they would be appalled at what gees on inside the head of a hyperactive cbild. He said tbeir state of mmnd is "Ialmost always bored." The doctor explained that hyperactivity is typically a lifeleng thing from tbe start. There is ne evidence that it gees away wben a person reaches adulthood. He described hyperactive cbildren as 5-year-old bulis in china sbops.' The hyperactivi- ty of a 30-year-old bull manifests itself less apparent- ly.! Hyperactivity is a real problem for the cbild and everybody around bim because of the atmospbere of discord which is set up. "Our concern as doctors," he said, "bas te be toward improving tbe cbild socially and acade- mically. " Questions from the audience indicated that anxious parents shared a common concern regarding the management of byperactive children. Teachers were aise keen te gain insight toward the hand- ling of these impulsive cbildren withi short attention spans as tbey are usually the first outsider involved witb the byperactive c hild. Lese Fecus "These cbildren focus on a task or problem but they relinquish their focus very quickly," explained Dr. Kins- boumne. "However, it doesn't necessarily follow that scbolastic failure may be' expected," he said. Lead peisoning, food addi- tives, and certain natural foods came under discussion as factors precipitating hyperactive behavior in these cildiren.The- doctor admitted able punisbment and net be paper tigers. According the Dr. Kinsbourne, of ail diagnosed byperactive children, 60 per- cent respond favorab-iy te stimulant medication and the remaning 40 percent respond adversely. 1Treatment Asked if he' personally favored administering medication te these children, be said he was in favor of giving the right treatment te tbe right patient in the right dose at the right time. The doctor's recommended treatment fer the byperactive cbild was a combination of medication, diet and behavior therapist, 'based on the find- ings of a qualified physician. Dr. Kinsbourne stated, "If you've got a hyperactive kid, you're stuck, yeu've got bim and you have te keep him." In conclusion, he told parents and teachers they bave a responsibility te the hyperactive child and sbould endeavour te improve\ the quality of bis life. SHAW'S NEWS The Shaw's Ladies' Group met last Wednesday, at the home of Mrs. Stella Price. A speciai guest at that meeting was Mrs. Bill Cex, who is from Mexico and is visiting Bihl's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Cox for a few weeks. We are pleased te report that Harold Robinson and bis sister, Violet Robinson of Scarborougb returned last Sunday, from a three week vacation in England. While there, tbey attended the Silver Wedding Anniversary of their niece and ber husband, se it was something- of a grand re-unien, as Harold has net been home since 1945. While Harold was away, Frances spent a couple of days in Stroud, Ont. when she visited her son, David, Nancy and wee Tanya. The visit coincid- ed with two birthdays - Nancy's and Tanya's, 50 Frances enjoyed ail the festivities. Mr. Lewis Wood was a guest, with his violin, last Tues. evening, at the Senior Citizen's meeting at the Lion's Centre. He was assisted, at the piano, by Mrs. Ermie Smith. Other guests at that fine meeting included Miss Janet Munday, at the piano, and Miss Adrienne Welsh who sang se nicely. Mr. Ed Schamerhorn was the guest speaker. Misses Munday and Welsh both performed, se beautifully, as they had done on the recent "New Faces" Programme, for Bewman- ville, which appeared on Hamilton T.V. Last Thursday, Mr. Wood took his violin te the Lions Centre again, but this time for the young ones at the Nursery School. He went over the instrument part by part and ended his lesson by passing the reconstructed fiddle te each child for a careful look. Later, he jeined in with the children's St. Patrick's Day parade and played along with the Rhythm Band. His visit, with the children, was most enjoyable and was certaînly appreciated. It is interesting te note that the old violin which Mr. Wood bas rebuilt came from the old Trudeau home which, incidentally was destroyed by fire last week.
