ODD HOUSE TASKS

By LYDIA GRAY SHAW
(A. P. Feature Service Writer.)
NEW YORK. Wishing tbe dog and
raking leaves aren't Just odd Jobs
tnougnt up to keep Tommy out or
mischief. They're reslly responsible
tasks which will develop his initia
tive, and turn him into a aeir-sufri-clent
Individual.
At least that'a the way Dr. Ruth
Andrua, head or New York state's
bureau .or child development and
parent education, looks at It.
"Household tasks offer an ideal op
portunity ror children to assume re
sponsibility," she saya. But, she
warns nervous parents, once Tommy
naa neen given Instructions, don t
hector him. He'll be disturbed, and
won't be able to do the Job- well.
Let nim break a dish or two."
saya Dr. Andrua. who thinks tbe aver
age mother la too emotional anyway.
naturally ne can't do the' task as
well as his mother can.
Don't ask too much or him. Give
him affection and security, so he
won't mind asking for help when he
needs It."
Dr. Andrus tells of a five-year-old
who instated on carrying a gueat'a
suitcase out to her car. His mother
let him try It. but hsllway down the
drive, he dumped his burden down,
and said wistfully to his mother, "I
guess you'U have to help me."
mere anouidnt be any dlatlnctlon
In an when allotting duties. Tommy
can be aa good a dishwasher as his
sister Jsne. And he won't turn sissy
overnight because he helps his moth
er around the kitchen.
The psychologist warns parents
against keeping their children too
long at one task. "The 11-year-old
daughter of a friend of mine onoe
came to me in team," she saya, "and
told me she waa going to run away
from home because her mother made
her dry the silver arter every meal.
"There's a silver-drying stage In
development, but It's the earliest
stage because silver la anbreakabla
and children grow out or it."
Tbe errand-running stage is soon
outgrown, too. Children need to do
the Job entirely by themselves. Just
bringing mother equipment doesn't
help Tommy gain self-reliance.
Parents who won't allow their chit,
dren to have any responsibility at all
seriously endanger their adult lira,
Dr. Andrua believes.
