c22 tribune j0fcyii987 v vi man has trouble befriending other members of own sex dr ed meade is a registered psychologist and director of the markham stouffville family life centre in this column he answers questions from readers on a wide variety of topics q although i am male all my closest friends have been female although my wife is my best friend i sometimes long for male companionship the problem is usually when i meet someone the conversation inevitably begins with something like did you see the hockey game last night or they want to go to a strip joint those things dont interest me in the least i sometimes wonder why i cant seem to be able to make friends with members of my own sex how can i meet men that are not on a macho trip a i am aware that you are saying you have friends and having your wife as a friend is definitely a plus when love combines with friendship it is a great treasure having male friends would un doubtedly round out your life your wmm 12 price designers

a friend in meade however 1 am wondering if you are placing unnecessary expecta- tions upon yourself is this some thing you really want or is it something you feel is expected of you perhaps you havent allowed yourself to know men your pers pective on men appears narrow why dont you sign up for a course in music appreciation at seneca college or join a diners club meeting others through in terest groups is an excellent way to outreach if you develop your interests through group discus sions such as a class i think you will begin to see that men and women share cultural values in common and that men can be sensitive thereby providing the qualities you seem to look for in a friend q my 15monthold daughter is very aggressive with other chil dren she pinches hits and pulls hair although i try to let her know this behaviour is unaccept able the behaviour continues what should i do is this normal for her age a it is hard to make any sugges tions regarding normalcy with your child it may be helpful to be aware of the strong need of de pendency that the child has on you the primary caregiver perhaps you could help channel the childs aggression through temporarj increased supervision in social situations and saying no immediately upon observa tion of acts of aggression such as hitting or pulling hair perhaps temporarily removing the child from her playmates will help re duce her acts of aggression are you aware of any conflicts regarding pressures to toilet- train if there is early pressure to toilettrain it could lead to feel ings of insecurity these in turn could be manifest in the social situations you describe there are many possible situa tions which might be helpful to discuss in a parent training course with your physician or possibly with a family counsellor if the acts of aggression continue my hunch is that your child is acting out a high energy level within the family and may be feel ing some pressure to develop be fore she is ready be firm and take some of the pressure off dr meade welcomes your ques tions if your response is pub lished name and identity will be withheld please direct questions to the markham stouffville fami ly life
