Growing Up

Despite the best efforts of the medical profession, there continue to be parents whose children are handicapped either in their senses or in their limbs. For these parents, devoid as they often are of the joy of seeing their child growing up normally, and plagued as they are by both fears and guilt, Mrs. Stern and Miss Castendyck have written this book. As they themselves point out, it is neither a general manual on child care nor encyclopedic in terms of illnesses, but it stresses "the fact that good principles of child rearing apply equally to the normal and the handicapped."

First Year Of Life

ACCIDENTS, at the present time, are one of the principal causes of death, particularly among children. In Canada approximately 1,500 children die each year as the result of accidents, a mortality greater than that due to the 10 acute infectious diseases of childhood combined. During the five year period 1942-46 inclusive, in Canada, accidents stood in eighth place as a cause of death during the first year of life, in third place during the second year, and in first place during each year after infancy up to the fifteenth birthday. During the same period, 21% of the deaths between the first and fifteenth birthdays were due to accidents. In this age of preventive medicine when our chief purpose as physicians is the prevention of morbidity and mortality, we, as pediatricians, cannot neglect this extremely important phase of child care. In any campaign to reduce the number of accidents, there are three ways in which the physician can play an important part. Firstly, the general public must be made aware of the seriousness of the situation and must be educated in the ways in which they, as citizens and parents, can help to reduce accidents. Secondly, the medical profession, working through its associations and publications, must stimulate all physicians to a concerted effort to reduce the number of accidents. Finally, and most important, the physician must concentrate on an educational program for his own private patients. A few words from the physician who looks after the child will do more to impress parents than will reams of propaganda published by someone unknown to them.

Abstract “It is a wise father who knows his own child” - William Shakespeare In today's modern and fast changing society, families are becoming nuclear; mothers are professionally oriented and having busy jobs. Father's participation in child care is necessary due to progressive involvement of mothers in jobs outside the home. Hence the responsibility of child rearing has extended to fathers also.In this study father's knowledge is assessed by self structured questionnaire and attitude using attitude scale. The findings revealed that majority of the fathers 88(44%) were in the age group of less than 30 years, 110 (55%) were having more than 2 siblings, 92 (46%) were st on the 1st order of birth, (46.5%) completed Secondary school education,106 (53%) were having private job, 200(100%) were married and living with spouse,82 (41%) of their children have above 2yrs. 116 (58%) fathers were Hindus, 79 (39.5%) were having monthly income of less than Rs5000/ -and 124 (62%) fathers do not have previous information regarding child care. The result also shows 94 (47%) fathers were having average knowledge regarding child care, 69 fathers (34.45%) have poor knowledge and 37 (18.5%) fathers were having good knowledge. There is significant correlation between knowledge and attitude of fathers regarding their role in child care. There is significant association between knowledge and demographic variables but marital status has no significant association between knowledge and also significant association seen between attitude and demographic variables.

This study examined the relations between child rearing, prosocial moral reasoning, and prosocial behaviour. The sample consisted of 125 children (6-11 years of age) and both their parents. Child-rearing behaviour was assessed by both observations at home and interviews with the parents; prosocial moral reasoning by interviews with the children, and prosocial behaviour by questionnaires filled in by their teachers and classmates. Positive relations were found between prosocial moral reasoning and prosocial behaviour, but only for the youngest children. Children growing up in a supportive, authoritative, and less restrictive environment behaved more prosocially and reasoned at a higher level about prosocial moral issues.

New Directions

In traditional Aboriginal communities the young were cared for by the COMBINED efforts of relatives. Traditional social/cultural values included an emphasis on the extended family as the basic unit, with responsibility for the welfare of each member of a tribe being shared by all. Methods of child-rearing emphasised undemanding security and physical demonstration of affection, rather then discipline, training and material comforts. The structure of the extended family varied from tribe to tribe with different members having primary responsibility for child care.
