At 17, Patsy is the "mother"
of the Dobson family and
assumes such adult responsi
bilities as disciplining
and caring for the youngsters.
me. When any mishap occurred, it
was her the children called for.
A major problem for children of
the deaf is learning how to
talk, because speech at first is
largely mimicry, learned from
hearing others. In the Dobsons'
case, the maternal grandparents
taught the children how to speak.
Not all are so fortunate.
Though the Dobsons have few
regrets, they are aware that they
have had to be stricter with their
children than most parents.
For one thing, the children are
never allowed out of prescribed
limits. Bertha cannot pick up the
phone and call around the neigh
borhood for a wandering offspring.
The older ones alternate evenings
out and return home when they say
they will. "I know I can't call up
and explain why I'm late," Patsy
says. "If the folks are asleep when
I come in, I wake them so they can
see I'm home. Otherwise, they
might wake up later and worry."
Both Chester and Bertha arc
aware that the discipline is de
manding. But, as Bertha puts it,
"We cannot give our children priv
ileges that worry us too much.
They owe us consideration just as
we do them."
Though the going may sound
rough, the methods clearly work.
There is virtually no juvenile de
linquency among children of the
deaf. If the Dobsons are any indi
cation, one explanation is the lack
of self-pity in the parents.
"You see," says Bertha, ihe
deaf world is very warm and close
ly knit. It may be hard for you to
believe, but I've been happier since
I've been deaf. But," she adds, "the
deaf do need teachers who under
stand them. We would like to see
at least one of our children teach
ing the deaf."
If one of the youngsters does be
come a teacher of the deaf, he
should be a good one understand
ing seems to be something all the
Dobsons are blessed with.
"Please pass the vegetables," as well as routine dinner-table conversation, is
said by signs at Dobson home. Of their seven children, two are away at college.
