SETTING LIMITS WITHOUT
WAGING WAR
Is your word "gold" or garbage"to
your children or children you work
with? When you set limits for certain
behavior, do they argue, whine, and
complain or are they fairly cooperative?
Every parent or person who works
with children seeks their cooperation in
following the guidelines set by the adult
No two children are alike. The method
of discipline and guidance that works
for one child may not be effective with
another one, even in the same family.
One child may need for you to be firm
and another child may feel punished by
a few words.
When parents or other adults use ef-
fective guidance with a child, the child
learns to make choices (within the limits
set by the adult), develops self-esteem,
and learns to cooperate with others. The
goal of the adult should be to lead a child
into self-discipline so the child will
behave as the parent would like even
when no adult is present. This is a long
process.
It takes a tremendous amount of love
and patience to set limits and allow kids
to make choices and learn to live with
the consequences of their actions. Many
parents want to protect a child from
these negative consequences. This is a
mistake.
Consider some of these guidance
techniques:
•FOCUS ON DO’S INSTEAD OF
DON’TS. Telling a child what NOT to
do docs not tell him what TO do or teach
him how to handle a situation in a better
way. Changing the "don'ts" to "do’s"
category.
The district membership endorsed
the candidacy of Joan Frist of the Happy
EH Club for the office of state treasurer.
Members attending the meeting
were: Winnie Bartley and Dorothy
Melton of the Love EH club; Glenda
Gibson of the Country Friends EH club;
Nancy Cruse, Joan Frost, and Pam
Landis of the Happy EH club; and
Extension agents Lynda Fogcrson and
Ronda Alexander.
Membership in an Extension Home-
maker club is open to all regardless of
socioeconomic level, race, color, sex,
religion, handicap or national origin.
The primary purpose of Extension
Homemaker clubs is education, leader-
ship development, and social. Dues for
membership in the district and state
association are $4.00 per year. For infor-
mation on club meetings call the County
Extension Office at 995-3721.
4-H, Parents, Leaders
Dinner Thursday Night
4-H'ers, 4-H parents and 4-H leaders
are invited to attend a dinner in their
honor in observance of National Volun-
teers Week. The dinner is planned for
Thursday, April 25, from 6:30 until 8:15
p.m. at the county showbams.

A guest speaker is planned.
act.
•ACCEPT THE CHILD S DECISION
IF YOU OFFER A CHOICE. Don’t of-
fer a choice you can't accept. Instead of,
"Do you want to go to bed now?" you
might ask, "Would you like to read a
book in bed until you're sleepy or play in
your room until you’re sleepy?" The
child makes the choice, but the parent
gets the child in his room.
CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT
TOCHANGE BEHAVIOR. If twochil-
dren kick one another at the table, rear-
range the seating so they cannot "acci-
dentally" hit the other one. If a child
spills milk at cvcy meal, change the type
of glass or put a small amount in the
glass.
•LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND TO
YOUR CHILD. If you find yourself
saying, "If I have told you once, I have
told you a dozen times," obviously this
method is not working. Try a new ap-
proach.
"Setting Limits without Waging
War", a video teleconference by Jim
Fay of Colorado, will be shown in the
Extension meeting room of the Court-
house Annex on Monday, May 6,
from 9:30-11 a.m. and REPEATED
from 5:15 to 6:45 p.m. for employed
people. This educator suggests crea-
tive ways of handling bedtime, fight-
ing in the car, acting out in public,
picking up toys, and many other ev-
ery day "crises". The program is
sponsored by the Extension Home
Economics Committee to address the
parenting issue in the county and is
FREE to the public. Parents may
bring children if necessary.
Into Mortar Board
Tara and Tori Irlbcck, daughters of

cently initated into Mortar Board honor

Club. The meeting was in Tulia at the

ness was concluded, Billie Sue Gayler

"My name is Susanne McKee, bom in
1881 in Tennessee. When I'm alone I
remember when I was a young child and
then a young woman. I was seven when
Pa and Ma, four brothers and I left for
Texas. We traveled over hills and rivers,
low water spots, and crossed the Missis-
sippi.
"Before we leftTennessce, Pa said we
could bring a few precious things. I
brought my doll and one story book and
a harp which my mother could play very
well. I was so fascinated with the nature
part of our trip, when we reached the
plains of Texas, there was such a won-
derment and adventure that I started on
a never ending story.
"My brothers' and parents' faces re-
vealed the surprise as they gazed out into
the vastness of nothingness. Prickly
pears, buttercup, out in the open, dug-
out, depression, bout with a skunk, bur-
ied clothes and me. Lamp cleaning,
black lamp chimney and trimming the
wick. Best smell: bread baking, coffee
roasting, school house: one room house,
big boys causing trouble. I began teach-
ing when I was 15. While saloons were
a customary, even typical, western set-
tlement THE churches came in and sa-
loons went out"
