4 Things to Guard Against
On Thursday afternoon the Try
on P.-T. A. heard Dr. C. C. Nor
ton, dean of Wofford College, out
line the basic principles of child
development.
Four things to guard against
are:
First, the anxiety neurosis in
parent or teacher which is conta
gious and sets up negative image
in child response.
Second, the too-possessive as-,
pects which kill all initiative and
ability to make decisions.
Third, the cynical home or class
room, which causes young people
discount the real values of life.
JTourth7 the parent fixation which
Stifles the child in complete de
pendency, preventing its growing
into life and solving own prob
lems. •
Dr. Norton stressed the impor
tance of the positive interest, and
approach so that the child’s defense
mechanism would not be erected
to hamper the relation. He re
peated that parents should not
seek to satjsfy their egos in their
children’s lives, pointing out that
this and the parent fixation are
forms of selfishness far removed
from love. The boy or girl should
be allowed to develop his or her
own soul.
The problem, he said, is often the
problem of adults. Solve this
problem and the child problem will
be solved.
.,0We do not belong to a species
destroys itself to give birth
to a race. More is involved in the
development of the soul.”
Democracy in the home and
school is reckoning with separate
individuals and personalities, and
interests. Don’t try to bend the
twig unnaturally against the in
tent and equipment of nature. Build
a life which will make a separate,
individual contribution whether as
doctor or as mechanic.
