It seems like Father is still
pretty important in the family

research says that contrary to
some sources the father is
important in rearing children.
He spends up to 50 hours a
week with his children. Now
that's pretty good when you
consider he spends an average
of 60 hours on his job.
The study also showed that
the fathers who expected
respect from their children
and regarded the family as a
sacred institution were at the
lop of the list.
Fathers take note.

EDITOR:
This message is for "Name Withheld" whose letter
appeared in the Jan. 22 issue.
What do you mean by old-time sportsmanship?
In sports, the team consists of all the members whether
they oK forty minutes, ten or none at all. Players who sit on
bench are Just as important as the "chosen few." During
pScuS aU the members contribute to the strength of he
team preparing the team for the coming games. How well Uie
rchWnfew" practice during the week will reflect in the
pSE on the floor. Working toward achieving a goal as
fleam is a greater reward than playing. The value of
practice and fellowship with the team whv
individual. Since winning is an object of the game why
shouldn't those with the best ability and efforts play? If
winning wasn't important, why keep score?
If a player is unhappy in a team situation, perhaps ; ftal
person should try an individual sport like tennis, golf, track,
wrestling or swimming. .
Perhaps your real gripe is found in your statement. . . . it
is hard for the "unchosen few" to sit on the bench while their
Jarents and friends come to watch them play." Je I. Je
game is not being played for the parenU-and ye. itt hard
for the "unchosen few" when their parents are grumbling
and complaining because their child is not playing. You d do
everyone a favoV by staying home if you can't support the
S team! Perhaps you parents ought to ieM
own feelings and comments. Are you the ones knocking the
spirit out of the "unchosen few?" Are your comments after
the games the type that would make your child feel like a
failure because he didn't play?
Today's "chosen few" were yesterday's "unchosen few.
Their spirit apparently isn't dead.

Child development
By Terry D. Hirnl. ACSW
Last week's article explained play therapy, a method of
tnM 'with children. This week we'll discuss some
nf the Dhases in early childhood development.
In fhffS year 0f I child's life, the most important thing
fo h im to Sarn is that the world around him is warn . secure
constant, and loves him. It is impossible to , .poU . chUdta
the first year of his life. As the child learns that he is loved
and wanfed. he learns to trust his environment so he ee s
secure enough to depend on those around him to meet h is
S The infant needs to know that when he cnes h.s
paTnU wiu espond to his needs even though they may have
taguess to figurVout which need it is. An infant can also tell if
his pents feel secure by the way his parents handle him and
Snd to him. Theoretically, the less trauma , a chjd
. experiences in the first year of his life the better off hell be
; "IS let me i an example of a child I worked with who
never received love, security, cons.stency. and warmth. His
name was Jeff (not his real name), and he was born in Italy.
The first year of his life included severe beatings, prolonged
period? without food, at which time he'd cry for hour, and
en received the punishment of being put in very hot or very
co d Sr. Needless-to-say Jeff never learned to trust hence
would not allow himself to be dependent on another human
Ifa child develops trust, he will allow himself to be
dependent. At the time the child starts learning moral, and
vK at about -ge .... he will accept the structure provided
by his parents more readily. Be.nf I dependent upon Ins
parents for the continued security and love Uie child gained
Uie first year, the toddler will want to continue to receive
Si, conforms to his parents wishes This dedency
and conformity can be very healthy for the child dependmg
uponhow the parents use this process. If the parents are not
Kigid and demanding, too lenient andr too itent
the child will continue to grow while feehng secure and good
8 tlSbacK to the example of Jeff. From age one until
aee 4 he lived in sixteen different homes, ranging from very
ngid and demanding foster parents to overindulging foster
parents. In some home, he wa, beaten and literally chained
o his bed and starved for hours as punishment. In other
oS could do anything he -"ted and eat inghe
wanted. Needless-to-say. this harsh and incomutoj
environment only developed a deep hatred in Jeff . At the age
of 4 he suddenly found himself jerked out of another home
and placed on a plane to the United State, where he wa. o
ive w.1h relatives. At this point.. Jeff was not manageable
because relationships only meant cruel, harsh, inconsistent
a7d disappointing "vents. He had absolutely no trustor
dependency. His new foster parents were afraid thhi
fouryear-old child might kill them. This was a well-founded
,CJeff is a good example of how a child will respond if he
doeSi't obtain any trust and dependency and thus gain
Sn morals and'values so that they can continue to reUte
to their environment in a healthy manner a. they grower.
Frequently in therapy, if the patienl has not learned to trust
and will not allow himself to depend on others 'r ppropriate
needs, causing the patient to become dependent on Je
SSoist to meet some of his needs. It Is only when the
pS leams to trust and allow him.e l..n;
dependent that he can relearn more appropria rwponse. to
certain situations. In other words, he learns how to respond
Upendently in more appropriate way. and allowi himself
to trust and to be dependent when appropriate, thu. also
making the person feel better about himself.
Referring back again to Jeff. In the nine month. I saw him
he was only beginning to develop ome trust d me
dVnWA. P.nt I was the only person wiUjwhlcl i he
hadany trust or dependency. He never learned to tmeto
video tape his session, with me for fear I would .how them
nationwide. Treatment with Jeff had to be terminated wUh
me because moved from Uie area, but hopefully he wa. able
to continue nil progress with another
At the Morrow County Mental Health Qlnlc I frequent
example of people who never learned to trust be dependen
are those who cannot work for anyone else becauseofthdr
lack of trust, hence, will not allow themselves to depend on
ISeir employer. Ano.her frequent example I. people who
cannot trust their spouses.
Our next week', article will deal with limit -tllng fa rly
effective way to teach people appropriate w.yjjof behaving,
compared to punishment, an alternative method.

"Oor Authority In Lifo"
(Mark 1:21-28)
By Rev. Mark Johnson
tlope-Valby Uther.a Ckwxh
We often hear people claiming to be an authority An
authority U wmeone who U .oppose to know what ho U
Ulklng about, and ha. a vast amount of krte ina
partSlar are. of life. When Jesu, began hi. inlnWrj.
Uie first thing he did. after choosing his twelve disciples, wa.
to enter the .ynagogue to teach. While In the WW
people listening to him were am.ied at hit My- '
Gopel My. "And they were astonished at hi. teach Incafor
he taught them a. one who had authority . . . " WhaT doe. It
man that Jesu. spoke with authority? It U important to
distinguish between power and authority. Power denoUthe
idea of control, force, and manipulation, The .tyle ofJesu.
was not one of power, but rather authority. What doe.
world "authority" mean? In the Creek nf
translation is "an assurance of truth and trust. Jesu. poM
and acted not through the use of manipulation and I forco
(power), but rather through an assurance of truth and trust
in who He was and what He w. to do.
It seems .. though some sort of authority is what wo aro
lacking today. A we look at our time., there Isn't that one
person or Institution to which we can turn for the 'u,w
Thirty or forty years ago. it might have been different. Back
then, people believed that there were authorities ta their
lives Today, however, the .ituatlon has changed because
there do not seem to be any authorities who have the
answer.. All we need to do is look at any area of life to see this
to be true. In politic, one group tell, you one thing and the
next group tells you another. In farming, one organisation
ha. one correct farming procedure while another group
oppose, thi. first method. One person tell, you to raise your
child using one set of technique, and then someone else
comes along and tells you to use a completely different
method. As we look at all of these varying opinions and all of
"the authorities" disagreeing with each other, we become
confused and wonder what and who to believe.
The question is "Is there an authority in life?" I believe
that the only authority i God himself for It i. the only ono
which seems to endure all of the other.. Nation, rise and fall,
differing philosophies come and go, varying fad. srt
endured, but the Christian Gospel continues to thrive
throughout the world. The good new. that the one who
created us also has come to us In Jesus of Nazareth to reveal
hi. love and faithfulness to all people. Thi. faithfulness l
.pecifically seen through the death and resurrection whkh
offer, us new meaning, purpose, and hope In life. The
authority of life is Men in the authority of God himself. That
does not mean that as a Christian, we are then led around by
the nose and given a perfect blueprint for life. We are ajway
asked to walk by faith and not by light. Remember what
authority mean. "an assurance of truth and trust."
Looking to God a. an authority, therefore, means having the
ability to walk by faith In the confusion of life with the
assurance that at the center of our live, is God himself. It Is
believing In the faithfulness of God no matter what happen,
All eUe might fail, but God ultimately will not fail. All else
might wither away, but God remains constant Most of us
have Men figure skater on an ke rink. During a routine, a
figure skater will .pin around like a top. How does a skater do
that without getting dizzy? It Is done by picking a point to
look st so that as the skater Is spinning around, thi. point Is
constantly Men. Thi. give, the skater a point of reference as
he spina. Perhaps this is what It means to look to Cod ss an
authority in our live. Picking a point of contact which Is
constant in the midst of the confusion and change of our lives.
It Is looking to God so that we do not become dlzxy and
disoriented as we .pin around In life. The authority of God
seemi to be the only constant thing In life. For In the midst of
trouble and strife, sickness and death, sorrow and heartache,
and life filled with surprises, we can look to God as an
authority. Seeing Him a. an authority la having the ability to
live our lives In faith and trust In the assurance that no
matter what happens In our lives, we can look to the
faithfulness and love which God hat for each of us.
