We have a son, 4, who is a bright boy, if I may say 50. He was born in France, where we continued to live until he was three, associating mostly with French people. As I find it ne- cessary to speak the language of the country in which we are stationed, I learned enough French to get around, but not| enough to be very fluent. I also spoke English and Ger- man when I got the chance, as 1 wanted our son to become fa- miliar with both his father's and his mother's native tongue.

FAVORS ENGLISH When he was three years old we came back to the States, where 1 started to speak Eng- lish mostly and German occa- sionally to him. Now when I speak German to him he doesn't always understand everything, though he comprehends pretty well; but he uses English in an- swering me. My husband speaks very little German and I realize now that 1 should have spoken German to the boy all along. What can I do to get him interested again? Is he too old already? (He is two months past four years old). Thank you for your suggestions. P.S. I had to learn English for myself and I am pretty good, I am told. K.F TAKES SOUND TACK Dear K.F.: My advice is: re-| lax. Stop trying to force your) son's growth as a linguist. In- stinctively he is making a good adjustment to his new situation] in a strange country (strange to| him), by using the folk lan-| guage of this new land as his fa. vored medium of communication| --for the time being. At his tende~ age, when he is beginning to develop continuing awareness of his surroundings and experiences, it is far more| important to his personality de-| velopment--and the sound or-| ganization of his faculties--that he feel comfortable in his ex- changes with the rank-and-file people he meets, than that he| continue to prattle to you in| three languages. ! We have the testimony of emi-| nent men, educated from child-| hood in two cultures more or| less simultaneously, that as adults they never felt completely] rooted and truly at home in| either culture. Always there was an elusive undertone of some- thing missed--a wistful sense of having no indelible conviction of truly belonging to a particular| place in the roll call of nations. As one man phrased it: "When I was in the one coun- try, I was homesick for the other. And vice versa." NATIONAL IDENTITY It is understandable that you, | a German girl, having left your homeland in adult life, would cherish your mother tongue and want to transmit it to your boy as a keepsake. But there is time enough for that later, when he has become firmly rooted in his national identity as his father's $0 n. Presumably 'he shares his fa- ther's American citizenship even though he was born in France| and spent his first three years there. It seems fortunate and| appropriate, therefore, that he| has this opportunity to be single-| mindedly American in his use of language for a while. | Don't fight against this sound instinct of his to put down roots| in a paternal-type responsive-| ness to life. Realize your obliga- tion to foster and support your son's, manly development. Don't dominate with relentless mater- bow FOR BABY WATSON'S TAILORED INFANTS' UNDERWEAR Choice of four styles.
