MODERN MARRIAGE
Don't Make Mealtime
Family Battle Time
By DR.'PAUL POFENOE
If there are children in the
home, mealtime is one of the
principal occasions upon which
they learn to become civilised.
Many parents make it a time
of discomfort or misery—and
then blame the children for
it. Mrs. A. is literally scream
ing at the children half the
time. Mr. B. rarely lets a meal
end without having sent his
son away from the table as
punishment for some infrac
tion of the house rules. Mrs.
C. keeps up a perpetual nag
ging of every other member of
the family. In home after
home, every member hurries
silently through the meal and
slinks away to avoid trouble.
At best,-many families cannot
do better than keep the con
versation going on petty and
malicious gossip about the
neighbors. What kinds of
citizens are homes producing
by such patterns?
You can do better than this
without much effort. As a
start:
1. Plan the mealtime conver
sation just as carefully as you

MRS. HELEN PETERSON
Now visiting various NCAI
projects and institute in the
West, she will attend the 12th
annual convention of the con
gress in Spokane the latter
part of the month before re
turning to her home.
Mrs. Peterson will speak on

Love and American Indians."
plan the bill of fare. Guide
it tactfully without bossing,
denouncing or bullying those
who do not keep in line.
2. Let all contribute. The
day is past when children were
expected to be seen, not heard.
Even the youngest should get
attention when he has any
thing to say. On the other
hand, of course, no one should
be allowed to monopolise the
conversation.
3. Keep it cheerful. In some
homes everyone ia expected u>
contribute at least one Joke
at dinner time.
4. Maintain discipline by
setting a good example and
keep punishment out of the
picture as far as possible.
5. Use the opportunity to
teach by indirection, discuss
ing the day’s news, radio and
TV programs, or neighbor
hood events.
6. Let the children do more
of the work of planning, pre
paring, and serving the meal.
In many cases they could do
virtually all of it. Thus t.iey
have a feeling of responsibil
ity and pride.
