14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, August 19, 1968 CUNT ANINANCE WALLA UVaaeaat ves Guidance Is Necessary If Child Sells Articles By GARRY C. MYERS, PhD Some children may gain good sell things stg : ft & H ge 3s $ Often these persons buy read- th don't want, parents and wish to be kind. Children who sell in this way may get some selling experi- ence but they also get wrong values. hye do not have to strive at selling as they would have to strive among total strangers. SOME RESENT IT Besides, some who buy from the neighbor child feel. they have been imposed upon. You would be wise if you forbade your child to answer advertise- ments of things to sell. If your child has already ordered the goods to sell and accepted the obligation to sell them, you might wisely make payment for them, if you can't return them ig you forbid him to go fur- er. Aim to get over to your child from an early age that he should limit his buying and selling to that of norma! com- merce, A mother writes: Our son, 8, visited a farm last weekend and while there he caught several large tadpoles. Some had already started de- veloping legs. Since we felt this was something that would be of interest to all the children in his second grade room we let him take them to school. When he returned from school I inquired whether the children like them, He said; 'Oh they really liked them and I sold some for 25 cents each." We feel that this was too much money for him to get for them and we really feel he should not have sold them at all but have given them to the boys who wanted them. How- ever, we don't want to discour- age his ambition and enterprise. SOLD SEEDS We would appreciate your views, as this is not the first time this has happened and it will probably not be the last. Anytime he finds something un- usual or odd he tries to sell it. In one instance he sold odd- looking seeds. He started out by asking a dime each but when no one bought them, he lowered his price to a cent and sold sev- eral. Sometimes when he tells us of his plans to sell something we tell him that we feel it would not be right, but again we have mixed feelings. He usually sells jto boys and girls his own age or older, so we don't feel he is taking advantage of anyone. He is in the tiga secons ade but has some trouble eeping his grades up because he daydreams a lot, He is very imaginative and likes to make things with his hands. His best subject is math which he en- jor'. He is the oldest child, aving a brother, six, and a sis- ter, three. My reply in part: It's fine that you encourage your boy to observe and enjoy creatures of nature, but you de- feat your purpose when you let him sell things he collects. I suggest you make clear to him that he must not sel! anything to other children, Read a great deal to this boy, you and dad, and have fun with him, It would be fine if he would read to his baby sister. Then he would read easy ma- terial and greatly improve his reading. Encourage him to play with other children his age.
