FARM-HOME BUILDING 1242 Breneman Road MANHEIM, PA. 17545 PH: (717) 665-4372 BUILDING & REMODELING FOR DAIRY RESIDENTIAL SWINE POLE BUILDINGS BEEF STORAGE Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 28, 1990*69 Kids Have Worries Too SCRANTON (Lackawanna Co.) — Which one of the follow ing two situations do you think would cause your child more stress: facing an operation or hav ing to give a report in class? Most parents wojild be inclined to pick the “operation” answer and they are wrong. A study being conducted by the University of Colorado with 2,000 kindergartners through ninth graders is revealing that children aren’t worrying about major catas trophes like the end of die world or nuclear war. They’re more wor ried about getting a bad grade on a test or having the teacher yell at them in front of the class. Children’s biggest fears are los ing a parent and going blind. Next on their list are being held back a grade, wetting in class, being sus pected of lying or stealing and being sent to the principal’s office. Way down on their list are events that parents may think are more threatening like having an opera tion or adjusting to a new baby in the house. Before parents can help their children overcome their anxieties, they need to have a clearer under standing of what really troubles children. There are simple steps parents can take with children that go a long way toward easing their stress. Here’s what the experts advise: • Let children solve problems on their own. Antoinette Saun ders, PhD, author and director of the Stress Education Center For Children And Their Families in Evanston, Illinois, teaches kids a five-step problem-solving process that works in any situation: relax, understand the problem; outline the options; rate the possible out comes; choose the best solution. • Set aside time each day to really listen to your child’s problems. • Pay attention to praise. Child ren should be praised not just for their achievements but also for their performances. If kids are praised only for their outstanding report cards or test grades, then they struggle to try to achieve at that high level. It’s important to praise children for who they are as people, too. Be aware of when your children may be feeling stressed out and try to help them cope with it. Remem ber, it’s a fact of life - everyone experiences stress. Help your children handle stress by talking out their problems with them and making sure they get their exer cise and eat properly. FRANK A. FILLIPPO, INC. - WANTED - DISABLED & CRIPPLED COWS.
