SAVE ON RELIABLE CLEANER'S SAVE ON RELIABLE CLEANER'S 0)111 AH Children Start Summer Camps This Month By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - The summer camp rush is on, and within the next few days an estimat ed five million children will pack up swim togs, tennis rackets, baseball mitts and postcards for writing home, and head for the great out doors. Within another few days, a goodly percentage of the five million will get homesick, get poison ivy, and get over both. Parents unused to so much stillness around the house will begin missing the kids and writing plaintive letters -although counselors and di rectors hope they won't. "The 'we miss you' letters only revive homesickness," said Mrs. Betty Lowenstein, executive director of the American Camping associa tion (ACA). ACA members must meet certain standards of site health, administration, personnel, and recreation program, she said. Record Total at Camp That five million is a rec ord number, reports Marjorie Hicks, managing editor of Camping Magazine, official publication of ACA. So is the number of camps-13,000 of all kinds, private, church, boy and girl scout, and others which are agency-supported. Parents will have paid from nothing for a child go ing to a camp supported by contributions to as much as $1,000 for eight weeks at a posh private spot. To take care of this mass of vacationing children, camps will spend $238 million on operating costs, not count ing the salaries of counselors and other staff. Miss Hicks said. The food bill alone will run to $91 million. Miss Hicks said the camp ing business grows each year for several reasons. "We don't like to talk Adolescent in Home? Academy Gives Advice By PATRICIA MeCORMACK United Press International New York (UPD Memo to parents of adolescents: Teenagers are reaching out for the ability to do without YOU. For peace on the home front during this phase of child raising, the American Academy of pediatrics sug gests that mom and day pay attention to the following rules: -Don't argue. Because the adolescents are insecure, they are defensive and argumenta tive if given a chance. -Avoid giving orders. Use suggestions. -Ask him to assist; don't be too quick to assist him. -Listen; don't talk. -Trust; don't police. -Treat them as if they are grown up. Sounds like an invitation to run up the white flag in the child-raising arena - making parental authority as firm as a wet noodle. But you have to accept the academy's advice on faith to see if it works. The commit tee of expert child-raiser com ing up with the command ments for parents of adoles cents studied for months be fore putting down the rules. "Foremost, the adolescent is interested in himself," the child specialists said. "Unsure of his developing personality, but determined to become a person in his own right, he resists advice and efforts to mold him. "Consumed with regard to his appearance, he resents im plications that anything is wrong, denies defects, be comes unduly upset by any .blemish, and is very unappre ciative of remarks concerning his appearance." The pediatricians suggest that adults treat the adoles cent as if the adult feels that the teen is somebody, refrain from pointing out defects and teach by example instead of advice. Rush to about parents sending a child to camp to get rid of him she laughed. "Although cer tainly camp gives parent and child a good rest from each other. "But the major reason for growth-there arc more kids, "And more children need fields in which to play, woods in which to run. This is becoming an urbanized na tion. "Even farm children now go to camp. Their parents want them to have the bene fit of a summer with children of their own age . . . and to get lessons in swimming, ten nis and other sports," Camping is supposed to ex pose children to nature, help teach them how to get along with each other, and develop self-reliance. "More and more, it is rec ognized as an adjunct to edu cation," said Mrs. Lowen stein. Camping also is supposed to be fun, although counsel ors don't consider syrup poured into their shoes very amusing. "But kids don't change just because they go to camp," said Miss Hicks. They still short-sheet playmates, put water-filled balloons in the bunks of their mortal ene mies, and gather assorted liz ards and frogs to bring home at the end of the season. Camp directors and coun selors also collect-anecdotes about children. Miss Hicks' own favorite was from the counselor who watched as a youngster trot ted down to the swimming pool, his swim trunks falling dangerously lower with each step. "You're losing your trunks, Johnny," yelled the coun selor. "Oh that's all right," said Johnny, "I've got my name tag in them." "When in doubt, the adult should treat the teen as if he is older - not younger than he is," the pediatricians said. "It must be emphasized that young people are individuals, not robots. "The more we as adults know about them, the more willing we are to learn to know each of them; the more we are genuinely interested in them, the more we will be able to do for them. "A person likes to do things for persons who seem to like him, and a person is apt to like those who seem to be in terested in him. "If adolescents are any thing, they are very good ob servers, and they quickly sense who is interested in them." The pediatricians also said that adults can do more for young people by praising them than by pointing out their mistakes, by deprecatory re marks or by constant offers to help. "Being unsure, he adoles cent resists orders but accepts subtle suggestion from which they can make decisions them selves," the experts said.
