Hassles: What you get is your
own quota.
All of us have different "hassle
quotas." This is a measure of what
we expect to put up with in life. A
"hassle quota" affects what we
expect from our spouses and what
we expect from our children. The

higher our hassle quota, the more
we expect negative behavior.
For instance, the hassle quota
differs for each of two young
mothers with 15-month-old in
fants. Both have infants who have
tried crying at night Mom
Number One, troubled by a high
hassle quota, says, "What can you
do? You just can't leave her in her
bed crying for half-an-hour. I'm
just getting no sleep at night!"
Unconsciously this mother is say
ing about her 1 5-month-old infant,
"Oh, what a hassle life is!" Mom
Number Two, who enjoys a low
hassle quota, says . of her infant,
"Well, I found when I don't get up
when Katherine cries, she starts
sleeping through the night." This
mom has no expectation that life
will be constant hassle.
The parent with the high hassle
quota will move out of an infant's
reach anything that might hassle
their home, and that same parent
will involve himself in his child's
fights -- anticipating the worst
from the child while also depriving
the child of learning experiences.
The hassle quota is a powerful but
unseen influence on everyone!
"Doing" or "Done-In" --Importantly,
people with a high has
sle quota always feel that things are
"done" to them. Such people give
strong covert messages to their
children that the child is in control
of the parent. Such parents might
say, "You'll be the death of me! " Of
course, depending on the child par
ent relationship, the child might
answer back, "Good", or "That's
sorta bad" or "I might even miss
you some".
I recently saw a young mother
named Patty who let her own
mother undermine her relationship
with her daughter. The grand
mother gave Patty's daughter all
kinds of extravagant gifts and
allowed the youngster to be disres
pectful. Patty has always felt
hassled by her mother. Now she is
allowing her daughter to hassle her
as well. She expects her daught .r
and mother to gang up on her.
They comply with her expecta
tions. In summary, everyone reading
this article has expectations about
hassles. The more hassles we
expect, the lower our expectations
of others. Individuals with a high
hassle quota expect their children,
at school and at home, to be a has
sle. They say, "Isnt that the way
things are?" Unfortunately, for
them, the answer is Yes".

Program develops work ethics, standards
The "Youth" Work Program,
previously known as "Summer"
Youth Work Program is in the
process of starting up for the year
for those aged 14-17. The program
was transferred from the Educa
tion Department, run by Levi
Bobb, to the Employment Depart
ment, which is now under the direc
tion of Marcia Soliz. The transfer
occured earlier this year.
The purpose of this program is
to help develop a young workers
proper work ethics and standards,
while at the same time helping
them contribute to their school
needs and explore career options.
The reason "Summer" was de
leted from the program's title is
because it is the goal of Employ
ment Services to eventually oper
ate a year-round program, with the
help from parents, youth, employ
ers and the community.
Some operational changes will
happen over the next couple of
years to help the efforts of the
Youth Work Program become
even more effective. A training
plan and basic job description will
be developed jointly with the work
site supervisor and Employment
Services prior to a youth being
placed in any department. The
youth will be monitored to pro
mote good work ethics and stand
ards and will be learning from their
job placement and kept busy. The
person(s) in charge will also be
monitored to ensure quality train
ing is happening and good work
habits are being instilled in the
youth and are kept busy at all
times.
The youth will complete what is
called "44's" status which
includes: Job application comple
tion with assistance, profile devel
opment which allows them to gain
an awareness of present skills, the
youth's job interest, and career
interest, educational plans, present
status in high school, barriers, and
skills in which they wish to learn
for future use. In 1991 an assess
ment will be done on all program
participants and will include a
career and personalitv type profile.
Drug testing will come into effect
.his year in compliance with the
tribal drug testing policy. These
changes will help youth think
about what it is they really want to
do, and keep track of what they
have done.
Within a couple of weeks, youth
and parents will receive a letter
from the employment services office
which will specify a date and time
to meet individually with the youth
coordinator or other employment
paperwork.
There are approximately 90 youth
job slots that can be funded this
year. However, there are approxi
mately 201 youth residing on the
reservation who may want to work.
The starting date for the pro
gram was initially thought to be
June 18. But, due to the work;,
needed to be done yet, the program
will begin a couple weeks after that '
time.
Those individuals who have never
worked and do not yet have a work
permit can pick up an application
at the Employment Office imme
diately and send it off. A wort;(
permit is mandatory. Youth will ,
not be allowed to work without ?
one. y )
Watch for future updates as things
are being finalized for the Youth
Work Program. Only those youth
who need a work permit applica
tion should contact the Employ
ment Office which is located at the ,
Administration Building or call
553-3262 or 553-3263. 3
