YOUR MIDDLE YEARS
Rejection of Parents
Just Phase of Youth

= VI IOUu
Call it. if you will, advanced
weaving"
Later, after the adolescent
campaign of parent rejection
has achieved its purpose, they
will, as psychiatry puts it,
return to the parents" In
their early 20s the children,
now young adults, have no
further need to struggle for
independence. They may not
feel that they have too much
independence and welcome
the chance once again to lean
on the comfortable parental
shoulder.
The same parent who just
a few years earlier seemed so
square to them, so un-with-
it, so "out," now seems to
emerge remarkably hep-al-
though he hasn't changed
a bit.
Think of your own life.
Didn't you, during your tenn
pestuous teens, regard your
own parents as remarkably
out of the swim in the new
world into which you were
just venturing to dip your
toes? And as you grew older,
didn't you find that more
and more you we're beginning
to think as your parents
thought and act as your par
ents acted?
Catching Up
I call this catching up
with the inevitable" Take
heart. Take comfort in the
fact that your children are
going to catch UP with it, too.
Yes, those unreachable. I'M
communicative blobs whom
you so dearly love will one
day be thinking as you do
and seeing the world as you
do and even quoting you with
a profound posture of au-
thority as they attempt to
deal with their own teen
aged unreachables.
Just one word of caution:
Don't let the youngsters give
you an inferiority complex.
Don't let them square" you.
Many a middle-aged par
ent has panicked, struck his
colors and turned tail in re-
treat before the teen-age Of

stand up under the lambast-
ing of being called square.
out. not hep and not with it.
But this is mere strategic
propaganda.
To Shake You Up
The young ones, afraid
they cannot compete with
you by the rules of the big
game of living, are simply
trying to suspend the rules.
Whether by leaving the top
three buttons Of their shirts
open or by listening to rock
n roll for unfortunately
nerve-wracking hours. they
are simply trying to shake
you up so that your conf
dence in the world as you
know it will melt away and
their own demanding egos
can feel giantlike.
Far better for these young
sters to observe your stead
fastness, your firm belief in
your value and your faith
in your knowledge Of life.
Through such observation
they will learn a vital lesson:
That the true way to feel
giantlike is to increase their
own statures rather than Lat-
tempt to cut yours down.
If you ever feel shaky-if
you feel you are on the verge
of being "squared"-just re-
member this wise old Arabian
proverb: AN old camel will
still carry the load of many
young asses"
