Teaches Lesson
Good Manners
Make Friends
If your son asks you to help him
choose a Christmas gift for a girl,
there's just one important thing to
remember. Suggest only imperson-
al gifts, something her parents
couldn't possibly object to her re-
reiving from a young man.
In other words, steer him away
from the lingerie department, U
necessary.

Mrs. William Lewis Speaks
To Travis P-TA Study Club
Mrs. William Lewis, director of
special education, was guest speak-
er at the Travis Parent - Teacher
Study Club meeting in the home
of Mrs. P. Cullar, 1618 Bel-
moat Blvd. Eleven members and,
one guest were present.
The home was decorated in a

Mrs. Lewis spoke on “Temper,
Jealousy, and Obstinaney.” She
said that temper, jealousy, and ob-
stinancy are learned emotions,
that temper is related te anger,
but anger is much deeper. Tem-
per is an immature phase of ea-
ger, and is characterised as it
grows and is guided, she pointed
out.
Every child should have a tem-
per to some extent, she believes,
•o he can protect himself. When
a child la having a temper tan-
trum, parents should not fight
back, but should use firmness with
kindness if they wish the child's
respect, she said.
Out of obstinaney comes persist,
envy, she said, and one should
rensono with a child to help that
She said jealousy is a bid for
love, and to caused by compari-
son Develop each child in hla
own way, she advised, and re-
ward him with praise and respect
them Don’t label your child or
belittle him, she said; praise is
a powerful stimulant to growth,
and it must be sincere.
