Raising Children
In Today’s World
For this holiday season. I’m
suggesting a gift parents can give
themselves. James Garbarino,
one of my favorite authors on
parenting issues, has co-authored
a new book for parents “Par
ents Under Siege: Why You Are
the Solution, Not the Problem in
Your Child’s Life.”
Dr. Garbarino and Claire Bed
ard share their observations in
helping parents recognize their
own potential influence on their
children. Parenting, in the face of
the “toxic” societal conditions of
today to which our children are
LOST
STREAM
MAP
The STREAM MAP OF
PENNSYLVANIA was completed
in 1965 after a thirty-year effort
by Howard Higbee, a former
Penn State Professor.
The map is known as the LOST
STREAM MAP to some anglers.
Professor Higbee succeeded in
creating a map of the highest
detail possible...a map that
shows every stream and lake. He
painstakingly plotted by hand the
location of 45,000 miles of
streams onto a 3x5 map.
The map sold extremely well -
until it was lost several years
later. Incredibly, the printer
entrusted with the original
drawing and printing plates
declared bankruptcy, then
carelessly hauled Higbee’s 30
years of work to a landfill.
The few remaining dog-eared
copies became a prized
possession. Professor Higbee
was offered $4OO for one of his
last maps. And state agencies
were forced to keep their copies
under lock and key
Experts told Professor Higbee
that reprints were impossible,
because the maps were printed
in non-photographic blue.
Then, in 1991, at the age of
91, Howard Higbee’s dream
came true Computers made it
possible to reprint the map.
Howard said, “I never thought
I’d live to see this day ”
exposed requires lots of tools.
They have designed a parent’s
“toolbox” of ten conceptual tools
that you might want to investi
gate as other potential gifts to use
in parenting your children. Listed
below is a sampling of their sug
gestions: An intellectual micro
scope for looking at the world of
children.
A periscope for seeing the
world through the eyes of each
child’s individual temperament.
A developmental calculator to
tally the accumulation of risks
and opportunities in a child’s life.
The glue stick of resilience for
holding together a child’s world
of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Michigan
and New England

“If you’re looking for the
most definitive maps ever
created depicting every
single creek, river,
stream, pond and
lake...then “Professor
Higbee’s Stream Maps”
are without question the

“It is in showing where to
find out-of-the-way trout
streams that makes the
map such a treasure to
the fisherman.”

The authors suggest children
can serve “as the weather vanes
and social indicators of what is
going on. If we know how to
look, we can see it in every mes
sage they send.”
This book helps parents deci
pher the messages their children
are sending. .
The authors’ research shows
that “young children’s exposure
to violence reduces a child’s con
fidence that he of she will survive
into old age.” This suggests rea
sons why youth tend to live for
the moment and willingly partici
pate in “risky” behavior.
