FREEMAN’S JOURNAL □ April 26. 1995 U 9 Health & Fitness How do we teach children to be nice, feel good about it? I have come to the conclusion that we need to teach our cbil^en to be nice. A comedian 1 heard awhile back used the sentence, “Its nice to be nice to the nice.” More and mone this makes a great deal o f sense to me. It really is nice to be tt are nice. Not nice to people that (Btly do I warn to u the wdue of being nice, but also teach diem that it mah good to be nice. How D o v e l o p m e n t a l l y Speaking Robbie Purltz teach diem that it makes you feel good to be nice. How is this to be achieved in a world where niceness is often devalued, scoffed a t and equated with wimptness? How do we teach our c h il^en that to be nice is an atnibute to be c h ^ shed and admired, not to be ashamed of and hidden? Ta&e a few minutes out o f your day and watch children at play; watch how they relate to one anoth er. It is an eye^iKning otperience. you think we, a s a axiety, some how have given our bids the mes sage that it‘s more important, more admirable, to be tough and insensi tive? Have we given them the tm p m ^on that nice g ^ finish l a ^ I think we have. However, teing an aptimis, I know that we, the adults, can tom things around. Here are a few i r ^ and true suggeaians; • Children need to imow that adults^arents aren't perfect. Adults make m istake Adults can also • Adults should be setting the ffliample. They should not only say it, but do it. • Adults should be setting limits — what will be tolerated and what • Adults should encourage chil dren into m;tivitie3 that help others. Above all we adults must “show and teU\ the kids ttot it is truly nice to be nice.

N ew help for elderly promoting autonomy (NAPS)—America is getting older. By 2000,13 percail o f the i»p- ulation will be senior citizens. By 2030, more than one in five Americans will be over 65. This so-called “greying of America,” cou pled widi longer life expectancies, are driving the growth of a new long term care service known as assisted living or residential care. Assisted living facilitira started in this country in the naid-1980$ and are modeled after similar {BO^oms for the eldo'ly in Scandinavia. The assist ed living philoscqihy p o m o t^ autonomy by ^labling relatively healthy citizens to function indepcnckndy in a prat^tive home-l&e setting. 'Unlike most senior housing that has been around fm decades, assist ed living facilities provide oversight by nursing staff and help with daily tasks, but drei't ofier the level o f medical care found in a nursing home,” says Dr. Paul W ilin g , executive vice president of the American Health Association (AHCA).
