TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, November 11, 1955 Development of For Lincoln PTA; Each child must be considered as an individual, with his own special ideas, "emotions and thoughts, stated Dr. Andrew Bulkley, Medford pediatrician, at a meeting of the Lincoln Parent-Teacher association, Novem ber 8. Children should not be compared to each other, either in physical growth or mental development he said, although each child goes through three physical growth spurts, and at least two mental or emotional development spurts. Physically a child spurts up during the first year, then between 4 to six years and then in adolescence, the speaker declared. Spurts in emotional growth occur during the years of one to four and again during adolescence, Dr. Bulkley said. Parents who believe thei child is not progressing normal ly should remember that what is a normal weight or height for a neighbor's child might not be normal for theirs, because of heredity backgrounds, the doctor said. Dr. Bulkley described ways to help the child adjust to school, and mentioned emo tional experience which might make some children physically ill. , Dr. Bulkley finished his talk by warning parents and teachers that special care should be ex ercised with children who have a" physical disability such as 'l-eart trouble, diabetics, epilept ics, or hearing and visual diffi culties. Parents should inform the school if their child has any of these difficulties, but they also should be careful not to be over-protective as this could lead to hypochondriacism, he said.
