Kids TV Habits Raped
BY JERRY KLEIN
LOS ANGELES.

much of anything they wish their televSion
screens aren't doing them any favor in the
opinion of Dr. ISidore ZferStein A pSychiatriSt
with the Institute for PSychoanaytc Medicine
of Southern California. he believes that such
uncontrolled vdeo viewing set youngsters
up for lifetime of emotional and psychological
woe.
To be sure, DR.. Ziferstein admits that TV
can be a strong force for good in shaping young
minds and personalities. But he believes that for
the largest part televiSlon is adversely nt1uenc-
ing Americas citizens of tomorrow.
First of all, the doctor holds that TV is
taken in such large doses that it becomes
addiction if parents don't step in and limit the
amount of time their offspring spend in front
of the screen. "A twist of the wrist and you have
it, DR.. ZiferStein declares.
Child Becomes Addict
You don't have to exert yourself, go any,
where or spend any money. TV furnishes every
thing and requires no effort. AS result,
can be completely passive physically emotion
ally and intellectually"
Before long the child becomes real addict,
says the California psychiatrist because TV
seems to be giving him the satisfactions he is
searching for. The youngster is looking for
love and attention, for an outlet for frustrated
aggression because of hostile treatment by par
ents, for greater participation in the adult
world"
DR.. Ziferstein says children fall in love with
television because it seems to be saying to them:
Hey, kids, look here I'll treat you a full
adult; I'll take you completely into my con-
fidence"
Violence Increases Anxiety
Secondly the doctor declares, all the vio-
ence on TV, instead of releasing young
emotions BEAUTIFULLY, only increases childrens
anxiety and tension For most healthy children,
the effects of all this violence not obvious,
but subtle and long range Years in the future,
as adults they may be less sensitive to human
suffering. more caous and feel it is sissyfed
or chicken" to be squeamish about hurting
other people.
For less-hardened children, DR.. ZiferSten
warns that televison violence may produce
nightmares, apprehension. disturbances in ap-
petite and sleep. Children with borderne pSy-
chopathc tendencies may actually be pushed

Even Heroes Have Faults
Unfortunately, says DR.. ziferstein, TV pre-

he said, is there attempt to show the con-

the law and use extra-legal tactics to attain
their ends.
These values do not help our children de-
velop confidence in the possibilities of co-opera-

a peaceful world-they tend to add to the bur-
den of neurotic anxiety by giving the child the
feeling of general insecurity shaking his con-

in which he lives.
Parents have an obligation to be aware of
what their children are seeing and hearing.

He was loved by all who knew him
And his friends were by the score
When death came and called for
him
He was very much ready to go.
He lived to make friends we see
With most all he knew
He did not fear when death stepped
Because his heart had been made
new.
His many friends will miss him
On every side of his life
He was faithful son of his mother
A faithful and loving husband to
his wife.
He was man who made his friends
BY his everyday walk of life
His wife is going to miss him
He was a husband for his wife.
