job to do Spare Time Activity Lacking The Family Court is one of these agencies and yet it is in some what uriiqric position When child comes before the court the courts first task is to try to dis cover whats wrong To do so survey is made of the childs life his ironic school and church activ ity play etc with view to find ing some reasonable cxplaruuion for the trouble Very frequently it is found that there is serious lack in the key area of sparetime activ ity that this is the weak spot in the childs armor Use made of childs few hours of leisure time often swings the balance one way or the other If spent in construc tive activity under the guidance of skilled recreation leader these hours contribute to the sound dc velopment of the child If spent aimlessly with undesirable compari roris and little if airy responsible those hours may prove the childs downfall Constructive use of leisure time docs not guarantee that your child or mine will avoid delinquency There is no insurance policy against that kind of trouble Yet there is much less chance of trouble when flitcliildsbasic needs are under stood and met guided recreation helps to meet many of these needs What are some of them The National Committee for Mental Hygiene Canada has listed the childs needs as follows The need for Affection The need for Belonging the feel ing of being wanted by the group The need for Independence The need for Achievement The need for Recognition or So cial approval by friends and as sociates The need for Selfesteem feeling of being measuring up These are essentials for sound ana stable emotional growth The child also needs training in ability to think clearly to solve problems iwisely to live with others in co operative and worthy way Then toohenccds healthy bodyarrd good health habits Children must find outlet for these needs in some fOrm of activ ity If not enough scope is to be found in work recreation human relationships or in the case of old er children community service then the needs will be expressed through delinquency and mis behaviour nervous disorders or eyen mental illness Frequently in home or school life child is un der some kind of pressure often due to circumstances over which parent or teacher has little control Guided recreation if available can release that pressure in healthy normal way preventing the dam age otherwise likely to occur Not Just Theory Nor is this conneotlon between riuvenilerr delinquencyrrWandwrecrea tion mere theory One recent re search study covered more than 22000 children 10 to 17 years of age and about 18000

small should establish and strengthen yearround corrirnuiiity recreation programs and servicrs Recreation must receive mirror attention in planning for the con servation and leyelopiiicnt of youth and in the prevention and rilllloi of juvenile delinquency Of course we are apt to tell our selves It cant happen here Act unity the facts are otherwise Dur ing the past 13 months in the Coup ly of Simcoe there have been about 250 incidents of invenile delin quency sufficiently serious to be re ported to the Family Court author ities These include almost dozen different kinds of offence includ ing many break cases and one of armed robbery The court deals with these boys and girls not as criminals bill as children who need special help and guidance Often however it is too late to change pattern which is alrcady firmly established Not so long ago some of our Puritan ancestors thought play was of the devil at best waste of time Now we know that play and re creation arc vital elements in hu man growth and adjustment fail to provide the best in recrea tion for our children is to deprive them of one of the musts in their development even to risk their be coming burden both to thorn selvcs and
