IN MEMORY OF
Alfred M. Elwell, M. D.

Director, Transylvania Mental Health Program i

His selfless devotion to helping alleviate pain f
in every area of life is a memory that will re- !
mind as of our purpose in the Mental Health ]
Pipgram.
Attitudes II
What kind of f,*^itndpj about going' to
school does your child have? Some gay they
are going because it is the law. Others go be
cause parents expect them to go. Still others
go because parents make them go. I wonder
sometimes if many go to learn?
Does your attitude about your child’s
ability give him a sense of failure? Do you say
“you’re stufid.” or “Oh, she can’t do anything
right.” Or “Why can’t you get that easy prob
lem.”? If this is your attitude about the child it
will probably be the child’s attitude of itself.
Or do you have the attitude that the child must
never make a mistake? This Duts a pressure on
the child which is more cripnling than it is help
ful. Is your attitude one which helps the child
to see himself as able to learn, but no perfect.
Can you accept failure in yourself? All of these
attitudes will be important to the way the child
sees himself.
Is your attitude about teachers one which
which says “It’s the teacher’s job to teach
you!” Or does it say “I hope that teacher can
g"*t through to you, I can’t!” Or does it sav
“The teacher is there to helo you to learn!”
Here again we see the subtle way in which
your attitudes v'ill guide the child. The first
says the child has no responsibility in this
joint adventure. The second gives the child
the' attitude “Teach me if you can.” almost
daring the teachers to do their jobs! The third
P«t* the responsibility where it belongs, the
child must do the learning, the teachers are
helpers.
Another area of attitudes have to do with
the school administp»tojc% we call them by many
titles, principals, directors of in instruction,
deans, superintendents. These people are those
elected to make the schools run more smoothly.
Their job is comparable to the government
forces which set up laws and enforce them.
Your attitude toward those who are the
“bosses” in any situation will be reflected by
your children.
If you criticize and down-grade your boss,
the child takes the attitude that bosses are not
to be respected. If you take the attitude that
the boss or the foreman is “out to get” you,
this could well be the attitude the child has
about school administrators. If you have the
attitude that the government or the boss has
no right to tell you what to do, then the child
may well take this attitude to school and feel
that no one has the right to tell him or her

what to do. If you have and practice the idea
that people can work together for the better
ment of all, your children will learn this atti
tude.
But what happens in adolescense? Sud
denly it seems that all your attitudes are wrong
and all the attitudes of others are right! This is
is an ideal time to reassess your attitudes and to
determine whether you’ve really been acting out
your attitudes. When the child takes what seems
to you to be a different attitude than yours, do
you need to take a look at what you’ve been say
ing all along?
For example, parents who have been get
ting their children out of one scrape after an
other, instead of allowing the child to take
the consequences of his actions, come to a time
when they have to face that they have been
taking responsibility for the child. One. boy
who had served one term in the Training
School came home and within two weeks was
before the Court again. He was referred to us
for help. His statemnt was “I know if 1 do
something wrong up there I’ll get clobbered.
If I do something wrong here at home my Dad
and Mother will blame it on somebody else.
I did what I did «p, I could go back to the
Training School.”
Thus we teach our children in subtle ways
to take certain attitudes about themselves. And
as our attitudes reflect true respect for other
people, the child will learn this.
What are your attitudes?
