anything. He is just
dreamer" said an irritated
father of his twelve-year- r-old boy.
Yes, Tommy is dreamer. But his
father is probably wrong when he says
the boy will never amount to any
thing. At present Tommy appears to
be thoughtless, careless, and indif-
ferent; he neglects his chores; and he
fails in his schoolwork. But Tommy is
preoccupied with absorbing and in
teresting ideas of his own. Out of
them, something real and important
to the world may emerge at some
future day. There is plenty of room in
this materialistic world for a person
with imagination. Our great discov-
erers, scientists. poets, and musicians
have been dreamers - and have con-
tributed much to the happiness of men.
Children differ Some are thinkers
and others are doers. We may wreck
fruitful dreamer by scorning his
dreams and trying to mold him into
something he is not meant to be. Yet
a dreamer must not be encouraged -
nor even permitted - to live just in a
world of fantasy. If day-dreaming
threatens to become an end in itself,
we must direct our child's interest to
practical things.
The best way to do this, is to see
that he has the companionship of chill
dren who have a practical, objective
point of view. He will follow their lead
and begin doing things as we'll as
dreaming about them. Moreover. he is
probably precocious child who likes
adults and is liked by them. AS re-
suit. he may easily get to be critical of
ordinary childish interests, unless he
has plenty of contacts with children of
his own age.
The right books will also help to
keep an imaginative child in touch
with practical things. He is partic-
ularly receptive to ideas found in
books. Provide him. then, with reading
that deals with reality rather than
fantasy. And supplement the books
with trips to factories, wharves, ZOOS,
aquariums, flying fields, shipyards, the
bank, the postofhce - places where he
will see how much activity and effort
it takes to keep the everyday routine
going.
As long as your imaginative boy or
girl finds life interesting. there is little
danger from day-dreams. But encour-
age your children to talk to you about
their fantasies. Sometimes fantasies
