READERS DISCUSS SERIES
ChiId's Point-of-View
On Furnishing Is Told

The following are excerpts
from letters to The Star By
readers of Hotodrd Whitman's
"Pdrenthood Without Hokunl"
series.
To the Parenthood Editor:
Reading the articles on child
discipline and especially on
withdrawal of privilege" made
me again think Of an incident
from my childhood which made
a deep impression on me.
My mother was, I think. quite
a bit ahead Of her times in some
ways, at least In her dealings
with me.
I am past my middle fifties,
and when I was a child of 8 to
10. mothers generally did not
discuss very freely with their
young children the subject Of
babies. My mother apparently
thought that when I was old
enough to question, I was OLD
enough to be truthfully an
Iswered. She answered matter
of-factly, and I never heard any
nonsense about cabbage leaves
and doctors little black bags.
She also felt that II a book
interested me enough for me Il
want to read, If ! should be al
lowed to do so. Our house wal
full Of books-none of then
trash. many Of them classics
and ] could read at will.
Getting back to Withdrawal
of privileges" The incident I re-
member so well was as follows:
Mother was going to be absent
from the house for several hours
and entrusted me with the front
door key, with many admoni-
tons not to lose 1t. ! lost it.

/. such as sending him up to his
room, a. talk the whole thing
over with the child. 90 put
covers on the wall plugs.
"The Right Way"
(which do you PREFER" DR.
Bard asked.
"Well, I prefer whichever way
Is the right way" the father
replied.
But" DR.. Bard patiently ex-
Iplained. the way you prefer Is
the right way. It is the right
way for you"
Parents are no longer to be
poured into q mold. It has been
learned that good parenthood
doesn't jel that way. Instead
the parent must have confidence
| in his own instructive feelings
and freedom to express himself
spontaneously. A parent who is a
shouter must shout and whis-
perez must whisper. 1t is just
as wrong to say that shouting is
bad for children as it is to say
that whispering is bad.
| From mountains Of studies
and oceans of data amassed an
the era Of experts. one fact still
stands paramount to them all
children need to be loved. II you
love them it doesn't much mat
tier whether you shout OF
whisper. One psychologist went
even further-"You can bride
them, threaten them, even beat
them. It's all o. K. if you love
them" he said.
The new trend Is to keep the
expert where he belongs always
on tap but never on top. Ger
jtainly most parents may &C.
casionally need advice, just al
q businessman may occasionally
need the expert advice Of . law
yer or an accountant. But nc
businessman wants the expert,
to move in and run his business
for him, and neither should any
parent.
I Distrust Own Values
! One reason for the crisis ir
parenthood today is that sc
many parents have what ont
psychologist called "a distrust
of their own values" They arr
not sure just what they want u
pass on to their children. They
are either afraid to set their OWL
standards or they lack confidence
in what they believe.
i Robert H. Scott, director o.
youth services in Michigan
LISTED parental leadership" a.
one Of the greatest needs Of
youth today. I'VE speak q great
deal Of discipline, "he said, but
II we analyze the word we f1nc
that it comes from the same ROOT
as the word disciple. Through
creative leadership. parents make
disciples Of their children. They
give them values. ideals anc
moral principles to live by anc
to pass on"
In this, there is no one--how.
ever expert-who can take the
parents place.

Parents Need Confidence
A pediatrician with the United
States Children's Bureau told
me that building up parents con-
lfidence was one Of her biggest
jobs. She said, 1.-THE questions
they ask reflect their feelings Of
inadequacy-'Should I put or
the baby's cotton cap or WOO
cap?' One mother wanted tc
know If she had to take the baby
to the pediatrician to have its
hngernails cut"
All the expert-izing has made
q great many mothers, and
fathers, too, feel they are DOING
something wrong everytime they
turn around. One conscientious
mother asked me plaintively
Don't you think it's importan,
for parents to know when they
do something that's normal?'
Indeed it is. And the new
trend in child-care quite frankly
recognizes q new expert: The
parent.
Individualism is the new key.

birth Of our daughter. she con-
suited me professionally for the
first time"
What advice did you give
her?" inquired.
II told her that no psychologist
knows enough to tell mother
how to rear her baby" DR.. Vim
berly replied. "I simply said t.
my wife, IF you're in doub
about something, consult you
own instincts first. Then If you're
still In doubt. Wen talk about
IT."
This is the new mood in psy-
ehology. Somewhere. somehow,
amid all the expertizing Of the
last two decades, the realization
has finally broken through that
the Creator, in designing the
human being, was also quite an
expert.
Look to Yourself"
Isn't it inconceivable that He
would give to man and woman
the ability to create children
without also giving them the
ability to rearDand nurture them?
Today more and more experts
are saying to mothers and
fathers with problems. Look in
side yourself for the answer. Ids
ten to your heart" And this is
not bad psychology. for it was
Sigmund Freud himself who said
that In the little things he fol-
lowed his head but in the big
things he always followed his
heart.
We are moving out Of the age
Of confusion, with one expert
saying one thing. another expert
saying something else, and a
third expert contradicting both
Of them. AS one father put it,
Their advice was so scrambled
I got to calling them egg-perts."
A counselor working with
young mothers sent this report
to the United States Children's
Bureau in Washington: Il find
mental hygiene circles talking
about mothers feeling inadequate
due to the number Of things we
expect Of q mother. This in part
is true. especially Of mothers who
have gone to psychiatrists or
who have read several books on
mental hygiene. I frequently
have to tell them to put away
all books and rely on their own
good judgment. usually stating.
You are an intelligent young
girl, normal, and have a normal
baby: enjoy 1t and let your
mothers instinct take care Of Q
great many Of your questions. "
Rear Them Naturally
In . seminar for youth work
erS ct st. Lawrence University,
Canton, N. Y, a speaker said
perhaps only partly In jest
God bless the man who marries
the woman who cannot read, for
she will rear her children natur-
ally"
In fairness to the experts, 1t
must be recognized that much
has been written which has been
extremely sound and helpful.
Perhaps the trouble is simply
that a good hand has been over
played. AS Gertrude Collier Of
the Child Study Association Of
America put 1t in O recent re-
port:
las inevitably happens with
new findings, in each era some
people jumped on the band
wagon too wholeheartedly and
applied these suggestions on child
care indiscriminately-and often
with unhappy results for both
parents and children"
