THE OSHAWA PSS | CHILD GUIDANCE Age Differences Cause Trouble With Children By GARRY MYERS, Ph.D. Normally, twins under 10 or \12 are better playmates of each 'other than. two children of the isame family several years apart in ages. The greater the lage difference in children, the |poorer mutual playmates they jare, as a rule. | A common problem, when the | youngest is from three to six iyears of age, is that he may |want the older brother or sis- iter to play with him, "Make \Judy play with me,' is what |his. mother may often hear. |Rarely will she hear a like ap- |peal from the older brother or |sister. Unfortunately, the mother 'may so command, But Judy) jmay have other things to do! jand may have planned to have fun with a playmate of: her own, lage. There is no better way than/ this. to induce dislike of the) younger by the older, and to in-| flame the jealousy which al-| ready exists. The older child, who is expected to amuse the 'younger at his beck and call, is hampered in her normal so- cial fun, The younger has less jurge to amuse himself or seek playmates of his own age. OLDER CHILD CAN HELP Of course, it's wonderful when the older child chooses some- times, of his own free will and accord, to have some fun with the younger--reading to him, showing him how to make things and do things for self- amusement, and to have fun with others of his age. Often the older child can give the younger some good tips on getting along with other chil- dren and on being a good play- mate with contemporaries. The older brother or sister also can teach the younger many kinds of games, though they hardly will be good con- testants long. Rarely will the youngster be able to win with the older half of the time.

I don't recall a |single instance of her complaint about his table manners or of his being a nuisance when her own friends came to visit. | These happy memories stand out in contrast to the accounts I read of the teen-age sister who is constantly mortified over the habits of a younger brother or sister, and. of the jealousies} between them that often last a' lifetime. ; 1 Ian many a family, violent jealousies often arise in an older toward a much younger child. While these may be in- evitable, they don't always con- tinue. It is wonderful when they wane and disappear, or are dis-__ placed by fond companionship. Such often does happen. PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q. We usually prefer homes for young children surrounded| by wide - open spaces, ar hey' face fewer traffic hazards. May such places offer more) hazards from undesirable sex habits and experimenting? A. Yes -- especially in sum- mer, when children incline to wander off out of the view of adults. START CHAIN REACTION FAIRFA,X Va.

A girl needn't be a trial law- yer or an atomic scientist to say "Look, Buster, I'm not a plaything, The answer is no so save your breath to cool your soup. Dear Ann Landers: Will you please print this letter to help out all kids whose fathers work in banks? I am 14 years old and my father is the vice-president of a bank. I'd like to make it plain that my dad doesn't own the bank--he only works there. The kids at school have the idea that just because my dad works in a bank I am a rich kid. The way they talk you'd think my dad can go into the; bank and help himself to money any time he feels like it. Last week a bunch of us were planning a picnic to pay back the girls who took us to a thea- tre party in May. We were short of money and one of the kids said, "Cariton can get it from his old man's bank." , Please, Ann Landers, tell peo- ple that bank officers are ona salary just like truck drivers, and sometimes the salary isn't as big as they think, -- NOT RICH Dear Not Rich: For all you kids who think people who work in banks can take home sam- ples I'd like to tell you this: If they ever tried it they'd have _to answer to the bank exam-) iners who check 'periodically to) make sure bank employees don't get to thinking like the, kids at school.
