Q; I read your coiumn so I understand that children need to have certain social skills (knowing how to join others in play, how to listen and respect feelings, how to practice com passion and how to include and accept others). Are there other skills? A: Like those of adults’, chil dren’s friendships are fall of ups and downs. Every child needs to learn how to deal with others by having a positive attitude. As you reflect on your own child hood ftiendships, I’m sure you’ll agree that’s easier said than done. There are many more social skills to develop. For example, children must leant to tact&lly stand up for their wishes and to express their own point of view during social play. They must team how to get their own play needs met without resorting to aggression, manipulation or word calling. They must be able to cope with rejection from time to time. It’s hard to hear your child be told, “No, I don’t want to play with you." But it’s a reality that some children want alone time when others don’t. To face such rejection, children need to be able to de-personaiize statements Fern Sanderson and learn that people’s moods vary. If one child declines an invitation to play, chil dren can learn to seek out another playmate. Sharing, negotiation and compromise are skills that come into play as children interact with others. Children will be left alone and isolated if they don’t gradually learn to adjust and tweak ideas to keep play partners actively engaged and mutually satisfied. During play, children need to learn to express their ideas and the reasons for them. But at the same time, they need to be responsive to the ideas of others. Compromise and negotiation skills help children build upon each other’s ideas for mutual participation and enjoyment. Children who dictate play or only issue commands to others quick ly become isolated or rejected as play partners.^' r ^ I I m Write on, Carolina Authors The Carolinas are blessed with wonderful writers.

There is also hammered copper on the top and bottom, as well as a stainless steel Star of David with a turquoise center stone. On June 23, LNJC celebrated its first Bat Mitzvah, and what is believed to be the first ever in the Lake Norman area. Karah Grossman conducted her Bat Mitzvah in the Charles Mack Citizen Center Auditorium in Mooresville by leading a service and reading from the newly acquired Torah. “She did an amaz ing job. It was also very special to have her two older sisters, Rebekkah and Jessikah, read from the Torah,” stated Barbara Thicde, the LNJC Religion School Director, and Karah’s Bat Mitzvah teacher. LNJC also celebrated the recent Bar Mitzvah of Joseph Natt, son of Alec and Jo Ann Natt. Several other B’nai Mitzvah are already on the calendar. “We are also extremely pleased to announce that we’ve secured the leadership of Sarah Wolf, a fifth year Reform rabbinic student from New York,” said Goldstein. “The URJ helped us to arrange a meet ing with Sarah and guide us through the process of securing her leadership for the next twelve months.” Shabbat services are held every third Friday of the month at Fair View United Methodist Church in Mount Moume/Mooresville on Highway 115.
