UISC-Ch Dean Says Babies Influence Parents As Much As Parents Influence Babies By Carol Boren Special To Ttaeftst CHAPEL HILL- Babies in fluence parents just as much as parents influence babies. “Parents have been so trai ned in this country to assume they are shaping the child. But in any human relationship, both people change each oth er,” says Dr. Ira J. Gordon, Kenan professor and dean of the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “The whole idea,"he says, “is to say, ‘ look, ’, the baby is doing things to you as well as you doing things to the baby.” Parents must look at each baby’s behavior and who each baby is rather than assuming they can make that baby who they want, because they can’t. “Parents also need to be prepared for the fact that raising children is not all roses and sweetness,” Gordon says. “If parents get anxious and tired, it's normal.” Based on experiments con Gordon has formed what he calls the “Four P’s” of early parent-child development: ping pong, passion, persever ance and patience. These stag es are discussed in Gordon s latest child development book -“Baby to Parent, Parent to Baby.” If the four P’s are observed, he says the parent can learn much about the child and be able to respond effectively to the child. And, a child also can achieve a positive approach to the world during the first year of life. During a ping pong activity, Gordon explains, baby and parent are especially attent ive toward one another. They participate in games like play ing pattycake in which every one wins. Eye-to-eye contact or mut ual gazing helps parent and child convey the message of love. Gordon says that mutual gazing is a crucial element of expression of passion between parent and infant. Id relationships is another necessity. Gordon believes that baby-sustained behavior or perseverance is critical throughout life. Parents must learn to allow a baby to get interested in something and stay with it without disruption, unless it might harm the child. The behavior from a child’s point of view is always sensi ble, Gordon says. Parents must learn to be patient with the child’s expression of his individuality. Gordon explains that these four r’s occur throughout the child’s first year and all of family life, and that each child responds at a different rate. Gordon says he would not want anyone to read a book on parenting and assume that every bit of behavior is criti cal, or if the parent does one thing wrong, the child is doom ed. “Parents should not view the child's age or any other single factor as the critical . elope at his or her own individ ual rale. For example, some parents might say that the baby should be smiling beca use he is 3-months-old, but that isn't always the case," Gordon says. "Once a parent understands that the baby develops at his own rate,the parent can esc ape guilt feelings they might otherwise have,” Gordon says. “If parents get those guilt feelings, they tend to be immoderate in their treatm ent of their child. They may smother and overwhelm the -child." “I think you have to main tain a sense of balance and a sense of humor about child-ra ising. No ooe thing, short of violbb.:e, that you do to the child is going to be that significant,” be says. “One element in child abuse is caused by the parents’ lack of understanding of this pat tern. Parents may demand too much from their children and punish them because they iHMiilBiMlI During the initial year of development, a child needs to begin establishing a sense of competency, Gordon says. Parents can strengthen this, he says, by learning when to step in and out of the child's action with the environment. Children who lack this auto . nomy are .often raised by doting parents. “Children should be able to grow without the love relation ship changing. The personal relationship changes so that the child becomes your peer. You each share together ideas and plans." Gordon’s new book, “Baby to Parent, Parent to Baby,” represents 10 years of work in which the parent-child inter actions during the first year of child development were obser ved. Approximately 225 low income families in Gaines ville, Fla., took part in the research, which was part of a project sponsored by the Fund for the Advancement of Educ Education and Welfare. Gordon also attributes his expertise to his parenting of two children and his wife’s influence. Based on his own experience and observations, he has written a total of 10 books and co-authored three others. Gordon came to UNC-CH in 1977. Previously he .spent 21 years on jhe College of Educ ation faculty at the University of Florida at Gainesville. Since 1965, Gordon has condu cted several research projects supported by grants from the U. S. Office of Education, National Institute of Mental Health, Office of Child Devel opment, U. S. Children’s Bur eau and the Fund for Advance ment of Education. Some of his early education studies have included infant stimulation, parent-child tran sactions and infant compet ence, improving the develop ment of culturally disadvant aged children and sodo-erootional < B Life Insurance Got too much?
