Don't Rush The Children

Dear Illary llaivortli: I would like to know how this situation sounds to an outsider.

I hold a professional job which brings in iinlf the family income. and manage my home with the help of a maid. We have two fine children healthy. intelligent. well - adjusted, morally sound. trustworthy. loving. with lots of interests.

The problem is. I find myself pushing the children almost con- stantly. io get them to do the things we all agree must be done. The struggle begins with my ef- forts to get them out of bed in the morning. and continues until I get them to bed at night.

My teen-age daugliicr. a delight- ful child. isn't doing too well at school. in my great sorrow. I've taken to siipervising her home work. and find she goes through the motions .but doesn't really learn. because she isn't really try- ing. She is just doing a disagree- able task under pressure; and. after an evening of applying pres- sure. I am too exhausted. emo- tionally. to sleep.

TOUGH FOR ALL

The younger cliild is less of I problem: but this one. too. doesn't work to capacity. And school work isn't the only difficulty. in get; ting than to take renpouibillty their pets. hang their clothes. keep a semblance of or- der in the bathroom and living room. and so on. .

It ea:;tdb:.:ood for the children to be constantly, even if were effective. And

or stew frctfully in the refrigera- tor in our spell of absence. We came along the fields with James to a far granary to hell) him ml

Of the 36 poles. only I5 can be salvaged. They are almost cov- ered with forest growth.

The poles belong to t'.ie few re- maining descendants of what was once the village of Nlnstints.
