Children gradually come to see themselves as individuals as they begin to assert themselves. And one of the earliest ways they try to assert themselves is with the word "no." Expressing their opinions is a sign of maturity though it often can make a parent feel rejected. LOOK AT ME examines the various ways children begin to express their individuality and cope with the world around them. Flay acting and make believe are a child's way of exploring what they think it feels like and looks like to be grown-up. Children's play is ineir woric. Children's opinions of them selves are influenced by a parent's attitudes. Parents can help their children through common child hood stages by stressing the posi tive. Whether it is accepting wear ing glasses or putting aside bad dreams and nightmares, the atti tudes a parent projects will in fluence a child's attitudes. Phil Donahue, host of LOOK AT ME, sums up this program by reminding parents that "when your children say 'look at me' they are asking for our acceptance and approval." LOOK AT ME is a WTTW-Chica go Public Television production, written and co-produced by Jane Kaplan and Wendy Roth. Subscribe to the Charlotte Post.

It has a category all its own: dra matic-comedy. The topics it deals with are tough, controversial, but presented through the humor peo ple find in the face of adversity. Produced by Rainbow TV Works, "The Righteous Apples" presents the reality of lower middle-class kids in a newly multi ethnicized neighborhood, dealing with the attitudes, the values and the pressures of today's society. The series seeks to provide posi tive solutions to racial conflicts and misunderstandings. The si-ries revolves around a recen'.y formed music groups, "The Righteous Apples," com posed of five high school students who live in a newly integrated Boston neighborhood. The leader of the group is BIG NECK, street wise, naturally inclined toward theatrics and street-corner jam ming, and, in his estimate, the consummate ladies' man Β. T. Bonham is a Jimi Hendrix style guitarist who leaves a head banging street gang to \oin the "Apples." He uses his pugilistic expertise looking out for other members of the "Aples." Sandy Burns is 15 and the "baby Apple " She's naive, a "pop hi ·/ storian" arid has an absorbing interest in the occult. She is heavy into mysticism, seances, tarot cards and tea leaves. Samuel Rosencrantz, aka D. C. Junior, marries his Jewish heri tage to a hip, streetwise black savvy he's learned through his love of black rhythm and blues. Trust him to "get down" to the nitty gritty of a problem and lay it open with an honest ' straight ahead y'all." ! Less streetwise, highly opinion- . ated, but a vital contributor to the · group's broadening perspective, , Glretta is an honor student and a natural music talent who places the group a close fourth behind her studies, her yog,, and ice cream.

According to Carew it's easier to reach people on a touch issue with comedy as long as it's not exploit ative. 1-682-5715 OUT OF STATE 1800 334 5761 SPECIAL TUNE UP KITS Plugs - Points - Condenser - Rotor Button 8 Cyl. *1425 6 Cyl. *1225 4 Cyl. nO" PLUS FREEE TUNE UP MANUAL M&P Auto Parts, Inc. 2137 BcattieM Ford K<l. 394-3116 394-311 7 Hours: Mon. thru Sat. 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sun. 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.
