PHREI1T PHODIMIS Help Children Develop Sense Of Humor At Home ?y CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D. FORTUNATE are children who grow up with parents who have a good sense of humor, who ob serve the funny things as they occur. Such ? parent does not take himself too seriously and can relax. You and I a cow some adults who remember mapy funny stories and tell them well. It Is a great art. Good Storiea We would like our children to accumulate a good stock of stories and tell them for the pleasure of their friends. A good place for the child to practice this art Is in the family circle where his crudest efforts are appreciated. Some teachers wisely encourage school children to relate in class jokes they've liked. Speaking to the class in this informal way gives them practice In oral Eng lish. More Jokes which children can enjoy are appearing in children's magazines and on newspaper pages for Juveniles. However, some persons with a large stock of "canned" stories on hand may not seem to have much alertness to funny things as they arise in the family or elsewhere. Yet this type of humor is best. When your child capitalizes on some matter at hand for a laugh, he should be encouraged to do so ?even when the laugh is on you. The most amusing incidents in our home when our children were S1UC tin > ntui growing up were of this sort. For example, once during a fam ily feud, an adolescent boy broke in with "Happy fambly," and everybody laughed uproariously. We may have to use some effort to appreciate a joke turned on us as parents or teachers. When we can, the children usually think we are wonderfi'". A wise teacher laughed heartily in this situation. She had asked several pupils about an assignment. Each in turn said, "I forgot." Then to George she said bravely, "I hope you don't say 'I forgot.'" After a pause he replied, "I disremem bered." Greatest Danger Our greatest danger as parents and teachers is that we tend to laugh and cause others to laugh at a child's blunders or mistakes. Thus we may wound him deeply. When it happens too often, the child may soon develop a strong fear of speaking. We just can't afford to ridicule a child. It is better to laugh at our own foibles and frailties, especially when we are with our children. "May I not vainly hurt the feel ings of my children. Forbid that I should laugh at their mistakes or resort to shame or ridicule as punishment." (A copy of "A Parent's Prayer" may be had by sending a self addressed, stamped envelope to me In rare of this newspaper.) ?v nd.f.t. l*a Home Clubs Have Demonstrations On Built - Ins Miss Ji?ty Cornwell, home dem onstration agent, gave demonstra tions on "Built-Ins." at meetings of three home demonstration clubs Thursday and Friday.
