Mentally retarded children have below average intelligence. Limited ability makes it difficult to adapt, leading many parents to feel concerned that their children might be unable to interact socially. This study considers the 14 SDLB students at the Bahagia Tasikmalaya Foundation SLB, and aims to determine the relationship between parenting styles and the emotional dynamics of parents on the one hand, with the social interactions of mentally retarded children on the other hand. This research used a quantitative type method with a cross sectional approach, applied to 126 mentally retarded students. The sample used was random sampling with the Slovin formula so that 96 samples were collected with a significance level of 0.05. The results of this study showed that out of 96 respondents applying democratic parenting 76 people (79.2%), 13 authoritarian patterns (13.5%), and 7 premissive (7.2%). The emotional dynamics of people in positive categories were 89 people or (92.7%) and negative categories were 7 people (7.3%). The social interaction of mentally retarded children in the moderate category was 49 children (51.0%), the Good category was 33 children (34.4%), the Less category was 14 children (14.6%). The conclusion in this study is that there is a significant relationship between parenting styles with mentally retarded children who get a p-value of 0.001 <0.005 and there is a significant relationship between the emotional dynamics of parents and social interactions of mentally retarded children who get p-value 0.021 <0.005.

In six illustrated booklets Cornelia Hollander has set forth a rationale and directions for an arts and crafts program for handicapped children. The first booklet describes how a group of parents and teachers of mentally retarded children organized a workshop to teach "uncreative adults" skills that they in turn could teach their handicapped children." The succeeding booklets deal, respectively, with finger painting and simple print making, drawing and painting, clay and other dimensional media, stitchery, and woodworking and odds and ends.

This study examined whether the social status of mainstreamed retarded children among their nonretarded peers improved as a consequence of extended contact. A sociometric questionnaire was administered to the nonretarded classmates of two groups of retarded children mainstreamed for an average of 1.7 yr. and 4 yr., respectively. Social acceptance of retarded children was low relative to their nonretarded peers. However, in contrast with previous research, retarded children did not receive higher social rejection ratings. Acceptance and rejection measures did not indicate any improvement in social status of the retarded children as a result of an extended period of mainstreaming.

The acceptability of three treatments for the maladaptive, but not injurious, repetitive stereotyped behaviour of a mentally retarded child was evaluated. Evaluation was conducted by questionnaires to two groups of staff (nurses and teachers) at two New Zealand institutions for mentally retarded people. A differential reinforcement procedure was found to be most acceptable. A visual screening procedure was judged as being more than moderately acceptable by nurses but less than moderately acceptable by teachers. When visual screening and reinforcement were combined in a treatment package and a rationale for so doing was provided, acceptability was increased significantly for both groups of staff. Teachers rated visual screening, when explicitly prescribed with differential reinforcement, as more than moderately acceptable. The implications of the finding of differential rating of acceptability across and within occupational groups was discussed.

Maria Egg has written a wise and understanding book for the parents of mentally retarded children. The book is filled with practical suggestions about every-day management—toilet training, self-feeding, dressing, and undressing, how to handle the siblings, the child in the community and the like. Emphasis is placed on family responsibility, rather than community responsibility, for the care of the retarded child. Families with a retarded child should find solace and help in this small, well-written book.

Recreation and athletic activity are important for all children, regardless of their mental capacity. A physician's recommendation about athletic activity for mentally retarded children, as is true with other children, must take into account differences in size, coordination, degree of physical fitness, and physical health. The stage of maturation, the level of mental development, and the emotional stability of the child are all important considerations when organizing activities for children who are mentally retarded. Children with average mental development usually have multiple opportunities for athletic activities and recreation without special planning. In contrast, there is a tendency for parents and children in most communities to exclude the mentally retarded child so he completely lacks the type of exercise and personal experiences he needs. Children who are mentally retarded frequently are not physically fit, have poor coordination, and are obese. These conditions become progressively more severe as the retarded child grows older, partly as a result of limited opportunity for athletic activity. The majority of mentally retarded children can and should participate safely and productively in athletic activities when appropriate supervision is provided. Parents of children who are mentally retarded are often confused and uncertain about what to expect from their child. Some tend to restrict their youngsters from physical activities, and others may push their children at too rapid a pace. However, most parents are anxious for guidance to help determine what is best for their child. The pediatrician is in a unique position to advise these parents because he is likely to know the family and to know the emotional and personal needs of the child and his physical capabilities.

DURING the past year the Children's Bureau has given special attention outside of its regular activities, to three problems which should be of some interest to Academy members because of their nationwide significance and almost universal applicability. These activities have been directed at mentally retarded children, children of migrant families, and juvenile delinquency. 1. Mentally Retarded Children. The past few years have seen an upsurge in attention on to and planning for the medical care and educational needs of "exceptional" children, and particularly the mentally retarded child, since this is by fart the largest segment. Part of the Children's Bureau's special work in this field has been in fostering studies of this problem as well as in giving assistance to state groups in meeting their particular problems. It is hoped that during the coming year the Bureau can give assistance and advice where it is desired, to Academy members in states where the problem of caring for the mentally retarded is urgent. State Chairmen can call to the attention of Academy members the opportunities which pediatricians have to give guidance and assistance to parent groups and other bay organizations which are attempting to meet the needs of retarded children and other exceptional children. 2. Children of Migrant Families. The Children's Bureau has engaged in a study of migrant families along the Eastern seaboard. The Bureau hopes to extend these studies to the two larger migrant streams, one which passes through Texas to Colorado and the Midwest and the other along the Pacific Coast. Difficult problems are offered which involve the coordination of medical, educational, and welfare services through the various agencies concerned. The rapid transit of these people from state to state creates special problems.

This study was designed to assess the personality characteristics and psychological problems of parents of mentally retarded children. Seventy-six parents, whose mean age was 42.12 yr with SD 10.15. 38 of mentally retarded and 38 of normal children, were investigated. A Bengali version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to measure the psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion-introversion responses of the parents. Results showed that parents of mentally retarded children had significantly higher scores only on the neuroticism scale, indicating that they were more emotionally unstable than the parents of normal children. The findings were discussed in terms of certain constraining factors associated with having a mentally retarded child. Counseling programmes for these parents should take into account these factors.
