Helping the Shy Child
+. N. BRANDS

My youngest child, Lucia, at the age
of three, was one of the shyest little
girls that / have ever seen. She
blushed when she was noticed, and
generally, was quite unhappy except
when alone with me.
When she was four she was still
shy, and | worried considerably about
her future. Then, one day little girl
cousin visited us, much smaller than
Lucia, and very much shyer.
/ thought, "Oh, here are two shy,
timid little children! What shall we
do with them"
Then an idea came to me. | called
Lucia to the bedroom and / said to
her, "Your little cousin has come to
see you. She is very bashful, poor
little thing"
Like me?" asked Lucia.
"Not like you, darling! Much more
bashful than any little girl l ever
knew. Of course you want her to have
good time at your house,"
"Y-e-sw
'Then, we'll make a game. She shall
be your little girl all day. You must
do all kinds Of things for her, just as
her mother would do"
"Dress her."
eyes. If she's willing"
So the little cousins mother and
hurriedly gathered quantity of toys
together, and brought out a complete
dress-up play wardrobe that Lucia
sometimes played with when alone,
and we put all these things and the
two shy children into the bedroom and
went away.
What happened during the first ten
minutes we never knew, but after that
sounds began to come from the room
l-babblings, brief bits of conversation
and once in a while little girls laugh.
We could hear them moving around,
and could hear sounds that meant the
wardrobe box was being opened.
My cousin and | listened at the door.
So far as we could tell, Lucia had
dramatized herself as "Mother" and
her visitor as her "Iittle girl, Julie"
Some kind Of game was soon under
way. 1t sounded as though they were
playing "house." Lucia was directing
and Julie was responding.
They were so interested that they
forgot to be hungry at luch time, and
we did not call them until twenty
minutes later.
When they came out of the room,
Lucia was mothering a transformed
little girl; she showed her to her place
at table, waited on her, and said ten
derly, but firmly, Cat your spinach y
and, later, "Drink all of your milk "
She showed no signs of bashfulness
herself, and there was but little left
in Julie.
From that day to this, Lucia has
never shown the old signs of confusion
that she did before. The care of an
other child, smaller, shyer, more help
less than herself, seemed to be the key
to free her from the sef-consciousness
that had made her so unhappy before.
Since then | have seen this bit of
technique tried on many a shy child.
Teachers tell me it is often used, and
that almost invariably it works as we'll

ideas and for open discussion of these problems.
 The persecution of Jews In Ger many. Austria, Poland, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Rumaria, and other lands Is not the problem only of those in these foreign lands. It is a situation that confronts the en- tire world. Every day the plight of an oppressed people in European countries becomes more tragic and bitter.
 Ever since Its inception 25 years ago, the joint distribution commit- tee has attempted to provide relief and assistance wherever help was needed, regardless of race or creed. Since that time, 1t has been the leading American agency fulfilling this need.
 Today, the problems are more ur- gent than ever. Hundreds of the thousands have been driven from their homes, wanderers in strange lands, homeless, helpless refugees The necessity for giving maximum aid to these starving families, for reconstructing their lives and train ing them for new occupations are among the responsibilities of the Joint Distribution Committee.
 Responsibilities
 It is expected that Joseph O. Hyman. executive director of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, will describe the enor- mously increased responsibilities which have developed in recent months. By virtue of his office and as a result of personal observa- ton during his many trip abroad MT. Hyman is one of the best in. formed persons in the country or conditions among Jews in Eastern and Central Europe. MT. Hymar has been affiliated with the work of the Joint Distribution Commit tee since 1922.
