Heading the seminar was Pearl Cassel, from Scarboro who based her discussion on her two books, "Discipline Without Tears" and "Pearl CaSSel's Presentations." The seminar, was co-sponsored by the Federation of Women Teachers and the Ontario Public School .Men Teacher's. Associ- ation. Cassel, in her lecture noted that the discipline and behaviour of children has changed over the past years. "When we were growing up there were very few depressed adolescents," she explained, "We were taught to be obedient no matter what." "Children," she added, "Were at the bottom rung of the great unwanted mass." She further explained that children' fit into the then present dictating society. The govern- ment dictated the peOple, the whites dictated to the blacks, the men dictated to the women and in turn the women could dictate the children. "There was a set of values that applied to all children and there was: no such thing as a separate set of values," Cassel noted. However today she explained that traditions are being lost and children must be taught new Bluevale Correspondent Mrs. Joe Walker 357-3558 U.C.W.

"We have to take a new look at 'child raising," she stated. Cassel basically in her talk told the teachers that the main reason why children misbehave in schwl is that they see attention, are revengeful or want power., She noted that most young children fight to get the teacher mixed up with them; She told the teachers that one three year old girl told her that she fought with her brother to get her mother to look at her. EVen punishment, she explained gets the child noticed and sometimes it is best to- completely ignore them and let them work out their own battles amongst themselves. • "The children know youcan't stand it. Then you nag at them and they've got you," she noted, "You can't be logical with them, they're minds work differently." . ssel explained that to correct the behaviour problems the child must be confronted and his feelings understood. "You ask them if they want to be noticed and some may say yes, but others may not understand because you're tapping at an unaware motive, Therefore you look for a. physiological response, like their pupils dilate or they change the position of their feet," she explained. Attention seeking . children should be given special attention at times and ignored at others when their misbehaving. Most importantly is to be kind but firm, Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Post Want Ads. Dial Brussels 887-6641. Cassel explained, Children who want power try to challenge the teacher and want to see them lose control This problem is often prevalent from grades six through to eight. To correct this Cassel stated, "Don't fight with them, they fight dirty.A oid power struggles and instead tell them that you respect them too much to fight, or make a date for Friday afternoon Punishing revengeful children will not correct their problems Cassel explained,. By punishing them, their attitudes that adults and .the world is rough will be reinforced. Cassel stressed a good sense of humour and patience to the teachers, and noted, "We used to be able to demand respect, we can't anymore, now we have to earn it."
