BRUSSELS POST, AUGUST 14, 1914 Mr, Carr is married to the former Freda Thuell. .and has A. daughter and three sons, the community — ideally, without taking the child out of hi's home environment — rather than in special long-term residential programs. The aim is for children to develop new skills in living and learning; a continuing process a Toronto psychiatrist describes as "putting them back on the right track before they've gone too far on the wrong one." In Ontario, there are more than 50 centres dotted around the province, so the child needing special help can usually get it reasonably close to home. Moreover, there's evidence that the approach to treatment is becoming less fragmented than it used to be. Ontario's child-help associations are forming an alliance, and studies are under way in one three-county region of the province to see how they can better co-ordinate their efforts on behalf of children. In the Borough of Etobicoke there is already a program of planned co-operation between the school board, public health units, and four mental health clinicS. Health ministry psychiatrist Dr. Naomi Rae-Grant points out that parents should be able to recognize behavioral problems. They should watch for a sudden and sustained change in attitudes to school or friends. And they shouldn't dismiss the child who constantly sayus he's bored or unhappy. Above all, she says, avoid the temptation to dismiss all behavior changes as "just part of going through adolescence." There may be more to it than that._ Many of the emotional problems children suffer from are rooted in society , 's changes — disruptions caused by increasing mobility; family breakups through divorce or separation; pressures to succeed academically or in sports or in career choice; and the rapidity of social change itself. With knowledge expanding (and becoming obsolete) so much faster, age has become separated from wisdom. Children can no longer rely on the presumed infallibility of parents and elders; in fact, children are often more knowledgeable. Perhaps the most effective form of preventing emotional disturbance, says Dr. Rae-Grant, is creating a home environment for children that combines love and learning` with leadership.

Beloved husband of Sarah Gertrude Hollenbeck who predeceased him in 1968. He was a member of Brussels Melville Presbyterian Church and The Jesuits used to say, and perhaps still do, that if they could get a child before the age of seven they would have him for life. Much the same may hold true for emotional salvation — although the age limits may be slightly less rigid. Fortunately, the era of Oliver Twist, the workhouse and the orphanage is behind us. But a recent survey (the CELDIC Report, 1970) showed that about one million Canadian children are in need of some kind of attention, treatment and care for emotional disturbance, learning disorders, behavioral and social problems. Today, the emphasis is on treating these problems within MD.
