BSA SO I NI. } 14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, August 4, 1965 CHILD GUIDANCE Children Given Pets Have A Responsibility By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Nearly everything we hear or read about pets and children suggests the general belief that ractically all children should ve pets. The assumption is that children with pets-learn to be kind to all dumb animals, grow through responsibility their care and gain otherwise moral stature. Some children do. Some others do not. A mother, writing from a @ town in Minnesota, has this to say: "I am constantly being looked at askance because I will not al- low my children to have pets. My friends think this is cruel. What could be more cruel to man or beast than to neglect him, ignore him, pen him up, tie him up or let him roam ne- glected? "After raising five children-- ell healthy and well-adjusted-- I do not.see any reason why ny last two should have a dog or cat or that § should be sad- dled with any more responsibil- ities 'Most of my friends who have pets either must keep them pen- ned up or let them roam for the rest of the neighborhood to deal with. They eat the garbage and run the risk of being killed or maimed on the busy thorough- fare, This I think is cruel. It is cruel to the animals and to all the people that must contend with them. "Children with pets hoist them on to mama when they are too busy to care for them. Please say something about this in your column for the sake of man and beast!" If we could make an accurate survey of all homes with pets, I wonder how well this mother's remarks would have support by the facts. I wonder how many parents who are reading this agree with what this mother I'm sure we would pretty gen- erally agree that the child who has a pet which he treats with tt kindness and which he faithfully cares for himself, do- ing for this pet all he is able to do without being constantly reminded and commanded to do oe rong oly rich character values thereby... OF MORAL VALUE Many parents providing a pet for their child to call his own are impressed with the early delights in this child for having it. Then and before receiving it, he may promise 'fervently to take sole care of it faithfully in the kindest way. He may strictly keep this promise for a few days or weeks. _ But as his interest and faith- fulness wane his mother or some other member of the fam- ily steps in to make sure this pet is not neglected. In the meanwhile the mother may often express disappoint- ment and vexation with the ne- glecting youngster. We need to raise the question whether any child can gain much moral| value from having a pet he is able to care for but doesn't. CONSIDER CHILD'S AGE Often, alas, a parent will get a pet for the child when he is far too young to treat it kindly or to care for it..Consider the children as young as three or four who are given a turtle or baby chick or. duck to play with. How often this poor creature pines away and dies!-It-lost-its life, while the youngster has lost something in his moral de- velopment. Older children who have a dog or cat they may not harm need) to learn to take faithful care of) it. Before purchasing a pet for any child ask yourself if he will choose ot care for it faithfully) or if you have the stuff of char-| actor and skill yourself to teach) him to do so.

Remember when my husband) moved that trampy girl into our} house and told the kids "Cousin| Ginger' was going to stay with us until she found a job. Well, that's when I thought I was having a heart attack and the) doctor said it was just a muscle spasm brought on by nerves. You advised me to pack the! girl's things -- and my hus- band's things, too -- and leave them on the porch. My husband said I was forc- he was choosing Ginger. I told him it was all right with me but I would not give him a di- vorce. He then said. 'It sounds like you've been getting advice from that nutty Ann Landers." The children and I have been! much happier since he left. My} blood pressure is down 40 points and the kids have stopped hav-| ing nightmares. | jmine.

What should we tell our friends about the paby?| Please help us -- STATE OF SHOCK Dear State: If Everett is 33, he's old enough to know what he's doing.

With that she gave me a sock on the head. My ear range for fifteen minutes. I tried to apologize but she wouldn't listen. Finally I said, "Look records don't belong on chairs to begin with."
