sometimes necessary to discipline a child if there is due cause commented mrs iris owen- guest speaker at uxbridge high school- thursday night how are we raising our children was the topic of discussion marking the first lecture of a fourpart family life seminar to be presented at the school throughout the month of february about 150 parents attended the lecture and slapping children was an area of concern mrs owen who is a resear- chei and lecturer on the topic of children said if you must hit your child it should be done im mediately following the misbehavior and you must explain why you are punishing him delayed reaction places too much of a strain never say wait until daddy gets home and never slap your child merely for a release of temper many factors affect a childs upbringing and many- parents are inadvertantly harming their children mrs owen said rejection disin terest improper nutrition can emotionally scar a son or daughter just as much as physical abuse child abuse has reached epidemic proportions she stressed but many parents know of no other way to enforce discipline she added that 98 per cent of parents who abuse their children were also physically mistreated when they were young in a provincial government report in 1971 in which mrs owen assisted in the preparation 359 cases of child abuse were reported last year 500 children were treated in torontos sick childrens hospital and 2000 cases across the province were so brutal they required hospitalization out of these 2000 between 30 and 50 diildren died we live in a violent society but we shouldnt accept it mrs owen said we should raise our voices and show our disapproval children are born naturally loving and kind and not violent she commented studies show that almost 100 per cent of criminals come from broken homes and were exposed to violent treatment when they were young if we could do away with child abuse we wouldnt need prisons mrs owen stated another factor which influences the outcome of a child is there is no family concept anymore if both parents wovk theres no longer the grandparents or uncles around to show affection toward the child children who dont have love cannot maintain loving relationships she said there is also too much stress- placed on married couples she went on to say everyone always asks so when are you going to have a family she said that many couples are not prepared for children and suffer extreme pressure steps should be taken to reduce violence mrs owen suggested we should lend support tp agencies such as the childrens aid society premarriage counselling should be encouraged learning how to discipline a child at an early age is an important factor to consider she said parents must reason with their children as they get older and shouldnt set too high standards optical m st marks catholic church evening of music stouffville the missionary church has invited the pen tecostal church to a special evening of music
