Mace, executive director o f American Association of Marriage Counselors, to a bast of parents, who gathered to listen to him at Boone Elementary School last week. "Never before have there been as many young people de linquent and having difficulty ad justing as today," he added. "All studies of delinquency make it clear that troubled, dis turbed children are caused by poor family relationships. "We are now producing more psychiatric problems in children today than we oan hope to rem edy, let alone prevent "Parents are so belabored with inadequacies that their confidence has been undermined. "The closeness of the Ameri can family &xxq> may not be as healthy as we have thought. I became aware of this in the So viet 'Union. My wife and 1 have recently published the first study in the West on Soviet tamly life. There children are placed in day nurseries where they are cared for by other women while the parents work. These children are proving to be extremely well adjusted and stable. "We, in this country, have dis carded a lot of our old-fashioned ideas of the autoritative type of family living end we haven't found anything else to take its place. Parents have become con fused iand so have the children. "Many parents fear to disctp line children for {ear the children won't like them. It's also often easier to let them do a* they please. "By letting children do what they like we're being cruel to them. Parents need to assert themselves and place limits on children. They may not always be right in their decisions, but they should take a stand on what they believe is right. They should not let children play ooe parent against another. "To develop into outgoing and scM-assured adults children need to be brought up in a framework of discipline. "They n&d to know they live in a world of law and order. Parents need to establish firm rules. Unless they do they can not rear young people who will become -well-equipped adults. "Parents and teen-agers are more tragically estranged today than ever before. They cant communicate. "I think the real problems with teen-agers aU come down to sex? not money, not cars, not drinlk, not many other things parents think; therefore, it is highly necessary that adults give them a aet o( standards to live by and teach them self-discipline. "We've probably learned more about marriage and parenthood in the laat 30 years than in the previous 3,000 years. "Too many people just don't know the things that make the difference in happiness and fail ure. "Young people should be taught what good family relationships mean and how to handle them. "We need both parent and youth education in family living. We need to have education for marriage and good creative fam ily living taught in the school*. During our recent scare when We learned our nation's education was lagging behind Russia1* scientifically, we made the mis take of discarding some courses like those on marriage. They an very important for young people "Marriage counseling is really effective in helping families ad just, if the counselors are com petent," he concluded. Dr. Al ace, whose residence is now in New Jersey was formerly a Methodist minister. Realizing the great need for helping fami lies, he deckled to devpte Ms life's work to it. He is one of the founders of the National Mam ad Guidance Council of Great Britain and was its e*e?iitive di rector for seven years. He is also a former presiciaat of Hie National Council in the U.
