Today is Mother's Day but in Family life is not the Samne as recenit years we have been using it has always been.

Now we must develop a capacitY' for self renewal in this new en- vironnient. t isn't enough ta hold ground - We must make pragress because the world will naot wait until a new generation takes over. Many have'not accepted the fact that aid standards are gone, aid ideals are questioned. People are corning and gaing with greater rapidity. Ours is a transient age. A chid*growing up in our pres- ent daST world cannot be at case. Values transmnitted by his parents and the thiings lie learns in school, churdli and from his friends are often contradlictoiry. Doctùr S. R. ILayecock of the University of Britesh Columbia said lnu 1962 that the world had witnessed four major explosions, ecdlimare im- portant than a hundred megaton bomýb These explosions' were: Knowledge, Population, Space, Freedom. Today dhidren are learning in childhood wlat their parents be- gan ta learu alter matqýurity. They have a mnucli broader understand- ing of things; they are taught in na ifrn way; there lias been an explosion of knowiedge. The population explosion mears that it is not bo easy ta l-ive'by ourselves. Wlierc it has pressur- ized if e acrass the oeean we are affected by it. In the next few years the population' explosion wîll rave even greater influence nnd impact on our children. Man easily lauwclies out into space and returns ta earth again. Space is another explosion. Tfhe.explosio>n of' freedom a- cross the world, perhaps gained premnaturely, is causing problems and we are directly invalved. The inidividual today lias a greater freedom than ever befare. There were social 'restrictions , s tand-, ards and ideals which set bounds for us that aour chiidren do not kniow,. With freedom comes a -greater responsiibility. To eal eilidren oE today ta live suecess- fully in this difficuit and fretful age, Dr. Laycack says, "We need ta focus our emphasis on these things. We need a broad back- ground of meaningful and inter related, knowledge.,We nýied'also a well established set of generai- ized habits, attitudes and creativ- ity. -We need, ta pay respect andl use the sientific method. There ný,eeds ta be critical thin'kiing, a wholesome personalitY growth, and devotion to a set of moral and spiritual values-" Ï We as parents need ta, realize that our chiidren need ta be, brougit uip with a devotion 'to a set 'of loral 'and spirituial- values.
