\Beene’s ‘Briefs
By Bain Beene
Co. ‘Extension Btrjent, 0(.E.
This week begins a scries of ar-
ticles on parenting. All month I’ll be
covering topics concerning families.
I hope you will plan to read and use
this material. Also watch later this
month for dates on the next Partners
for Parenting Workshop.
Adults and children alike feel un-
comfortable or fearful around cer-
tain animals, people or situations.
Since fears arc usually more accept-
able in children, adults try to sup-
press, or hide, their phobias.
In dealing with problems, fears or
phobias within the family, it’s worth
trying to look beyond the symptoms.
Asking hard questionscan often point
you in the right direction. Some
common fears and suggested solu-
tions arc:
1. Separation anxiety; When
children or adults hate to be sepa-
rated, even for a short time, preven-
tive steps include providing a sense
of trust and caring. Encourage indi-
viduality and independence without
making the person feel pushed away.
2. Fear of monsters or strange
critters: Be patient while the child or
adult adjusts to having a scary face,
fuzzy body or creepy crawler in their
new environment. Don’t shame or
push the feared object at the scared
person.
3. Fear of doctors and dentists:
Don’t try to case or appease by say-
ing, “This won’t hurt.” You know
there is pain, shame or fear of the
unknown, or the person wouldn’t be
going to the doctor or dentist in the
first place.
4. Fear of water: Go slow. Don’t
throw a child or adult into deep water
and expect them to swim for survival.
Babies have an automatic swim reac-
tion that is forgotten early. Don’t
expect everyone to enjoy the water as
much as you do.
5. Fear of the dark: Virtually
everyone has had at least one fright-
ening experience with the dark. Being
afraid of the dark is not a predictor of
growing into a fearful, wimpy adult.
Encourage anyone afraid of the dark
to talk about their fears and what they
expect to be lurking there.
Using the family approach of
helping each other define and ex-
plore fears provides a united front
and support to overcoming a phobia.
Children often pick up adult fears, so
more than one person in the family
usually shares the phobia. Don’t be
afraid to admit you’re afraid of some-
thing. Dealing with problems within
our own family is worth looking be-
yond the symptoms or the shame.
When the family heals itself, fears or
phobias seem less traumatic.
Garden
Check List
- By Truman Lamb -
Freestone Co. Agent
February is the time to plant
woody trees and shrubs. Early plant-
ing insures good spring growth and
better summer heat tolerance.
When planting roses, bare-rooted
plants may be selected for a sunny
location in well prepared raised beds.
Select recommended bare-rooted
varieties of fruit trees, fruit vines and
bushes and space for ultimate size
and production. Prune back upon
planting.
February is also a lime to do little
chores which mean big results. Such
as:
1. Feed pansy plantings.
2. Prepare garden beds for spring
and summer annuals and perennials.
3. Plantgroundcovcrssuchas ivy,
asialic jasmine, liriopc, ajugs, vinca,
monkey grass, etc.
4. Color your hydrangea blooms
with a dose of aluminum sulfate to
turn blooms blue or a dose of lime to
deepen pink color.
5. Rake over thatched lawn grasses
to remove winter-killed grass and to
open and aerate turf.
