NEW YOFtk, (GlODdl)-
Dear Miss Ball:
I am very much upset over the
way my mother treats me. She has
been very strict and I try to do
the right thing, but it is very hard
and often her demands conflict
with each other. Also, she accuses
me of many bad things of which I
never think. Frankly, she has al
most made me hate her. What is
wrong with some parents?
Julia, Mississippi
Dear Julia:
1t is a pity that some mothers
never realize that their daughters
grow up. They naturally cause the
children to feel badly and create
more friction and hard feeling than
is necessary. They do not think any
less of child, but are recalling
the experiences and situations of
their own youth. They are afraid
that the child may not be able to
handle herself properly. The par
ent should realize that the girl
has grown up. She should also re-
member that if she, as a parent.
has trained the girl properly, there
is nothing about which to worry
Remember the Bible: Train up
child in the way he should go and
when he is older he will not de-
part"
Parents tend to compare things
and to react according to situa-
ton on the basis of past expert
ences. They frequently do not rea-
lie that children grow UP and
must be respected as individuals.
They forget that children were
brought into the world as a part Of
their love and that they cannot be
possessed; that they cannot truly
share the future with their chill
dren, but rather must watch them
walk away from them to find their
own niche in the scheme of THINGS
How to help parents adjust to this
is the $64.00 question.
