The last problem was that of a mother andher sixteen year old daughter who didn't get along well. "This mother wanted affection and was preoccupied with her won inefficiency," said the speaker. Miss Mills gave specific causes for difficulties which arise between parents and their children. "The giving and getting affection and its relation to the child is one of the most important," she said. "A second is the child's likeness or unlikeness to its parents." She stated that parental dissatisfaction may arrive over a comparison with children of other families. Another serious cause of disturbances is the refusal of parents ■" ,'*■ ■■ to give up the control of their chil- tcvsSSb^^^^Rk^''■ ''■'<■'''''■■'■■'■'■- ■■'*'■ ■"■'■'-^?:aßK(^i£^ii^^B BB6BTOm^*^?ffitfEL dren as they mature. "There is evidence to show that becoming a parent alters one's personality," the lecturer said. She went on to prove thatone's childhood attitudes persist throughout life, and are often the cause of problems which arise in raising children. "A parent's attitudes and scruples are naturally absorbed by its child," she said. "If a parent has a strong anxiety about sex problems, the child is very apt to take on these fears." "The child's development of—personality rests on two factors the parentanditself. Childhoodis aper- iodof taking-in things from parents, a period of identification." Miss Mills stated in this interest that there are three streams of personality, the first of which is impulse. This raises the problem of whether the parent should givein to thechild,and whether or not it canlove and control the child at the same time. The second is reason, which deals with the problem of punishmentsand rewards. The third,conscience,is related to the way a parent reacts to the child and his behavior. "Adolescence is often the most difficult period of life," Miss Mills said. "The child desires to assert it- self as anindividual. Itwantsmore freedom, but is afraid to giveup those on whom it has depended for so long. It is the parent's duty to help the child find what is important in life during this period."
