Rational Discussion— The Better Path to Take

between parents

land their .off-

spring. Even in_

the animal king-->

dom, the young will try to exert

themselves until the parent

feels that they can fend for
themselves.

Unfortunately, instead of

merely using this yardstick,

with the future of the young "un

in mind, parents—often moth--

ers—will try to “hang on” to
their children long after they
should be fending for them-
selves.

Some will “demand” obe-
dience and respect, simply
because they are parents.

| Others will even remind their
youngsters how they have fed,
clothed and educated the off-
spring, often: provoking the
response: “But I did not ask to”
be borat”

The si-aple fact is that’

children re “persons”. Indivi-
duals r-. yet mature and with
lesser responsibilities—but in-
dividuals nonetheless. When
they are recognized as such and
not merely “ordered” to do
their chores “because I am your
muatherss we finda muck greater

were different when they were
children, we can only agree.
‘There were fewer books, mag-
azines and sources of picking up
information—good and bad.
There was no radio,
movies. We were not “edu-
cated” on the intimate deiails of
homosexuality, lesbianism, fet-
ishes and sadism.

Since children have been
projected into a raw, twentieth
century environment, ws-san
only cope with the situation
with a logic and honesty they
understand, not merely by
waving he flag of yesterday.

r than throwing up
our hands with shocked revul-
sion, we can only hope to
change thelr direction through
rational discussion which might.
point.up the irresponsibility
and foolhardiness of their ac-
tions on the basis of a more
mature person speaking to a
leas mature-one.

-'» Unfortunately,: the -par-

“ental instinct to protect off-
spring all too often winds up-as__

a screaming match between
two children. The cost is all too
often complete, although re-
gretful alienation on the part of
the youngster.
