European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 24, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse                                The stars and stripes Page 11 expert decries fall in role of motherhood Selma Fraiberg acclaimed child psychoanalyst an author of a Well known Book on child development the magic years could not stand by and let society destroy one of its most valuable traditions so she wrote a Book titled every child s Birthright in de sense of  she states in her Book when a baby has been deprived of a Mother. Through adversity or the in difference of his her society we have found that the later capacity of that child to commit him herself to love to partners in love and to the human Community will be diminished or depleted. Unfortunately the number of such children is growing in our  after Reading the five part series on child care i appears obvious that society no longer thinks that full time mothering is important. We Are exchanging a second income and More things for our children capacity to love. What is going to happen to the next several generations How will our children value the parenting of their children in the 1950s and 60s we were shocked that communist China was raising its children in communes away from their parents but now we Are voluntarily choosing to Send our children to Little communes called Day care centers for up to 12 or More hours per Day. We Are choosing to do this at such an alarming rate that we cannot develop Day care centers fast enough. Baby Sitters Are obsolete in our High tech society and now family care is the new mini  yes americans have the misconception that fre Choice is important no matter what the Cost. People want free Choice to abort their babies before they reborn or free Choice to avoid parenthood after they Are born. Besides mothering going out of Vogue we Are now developing All these new misconceptions about child education. Parents Are using the myth of Early Edu cation to bolster their arguments on preschool and to diminish their guilt about sending toddlers to school so that they can pursue their career. Or. Raymond Moore a Well known and respected educator and developmental psychologist has con ducted extensive research at Stanford University. He states that Early schooling be it preschool or Day care has been clearly shown by replicable research to be damaging for Normal children in every  he goes on to say that educators have discarded the re search and Given the Public what it wants earlier  this allows the parents to cop out on time and education that they should be giving their Chil Dren. Or. Moore has written boldly on this subject i books such As better late than Early school can wait and Home style  one Mother in the series was worried that her child would not be prepared for kindergarten. A child does not need Early education As much As he she needs two nurturing parents and at least one of those parents committed to staying Home full time. No wonder we diagnose so Many learning and behaviour disorders in the Young child. Children need the one to one commit ment of a Parent instead of the one-to-10, or 20 or 30,they get in preschool or Day care. A courageous Mother named Marilee Horton fortunately found her Way out of this trend and put her words into a Book entitled free to stay at  Are More parenting books on the Bookstore shelves today than Ever before in history but Moth ering is on the biggest decline in history. Don t think that fathers Are off the Hook by any Means part of the reason for the decline of motherhood is that the husband and father has not upheld the profound importance of the Mother s Job. Motherhood is the most important Job on Earth and should be recognized As such at every level of our society we must never forget the single Parent family where there May be no alternative but to work and to use child care. The army needs to support Good childcare but we As a people need to turn our eyes Back to the priorities of our children and not to our own priorities of materialism and prestige and Power. Or.

King Cruger Gary Miller and Alba Bragoli Naples dear Ann Landers i am enclosing a copy of a pharmacy Bill i received after recent stay at mercy Hospital of Sacramento. As you can see iwas charged $7 for a single Aspi Rin. I believe this is ridiculous regardless of who pays me or the insurance company. This sort of thing is happening to Hospital patients All Over. Also Why would a doctor write prescription for an Over the counter drug As common As aspirin i Hope you consider this letter important enough to publish. Maybe if enough people raise the roof this shameful practice will come to a halt. No name  sign me gouged in Sacramento dear Sac sounds like an outrageous rip off but actually it in t. I knew there was a logical explanation but was Tsure that i could explain it properly so i called Donald s. Macnaughton former chairman of the Prudential insurance company. This is what he said the $7 aspirin has More to do with irrational Hospital pricing than High profits. Actually most hospitals Are losing Money. That $7 reflects the work time of the prescribing physician the dispensing pharmacist the administering nurse compiling of medical records and so on. But the major reason for this seemingly outrageous Price of a single aspirin is due to the shortages produced by medicare medicaid and patients who can t pay their ills. For example medicare pays Only 65 percent of what is charged to the typical patient. Hospitals Are forced to Mark up everyone s charges to make up the difference. It s crazy pricing but it is the Only Way hospitals can stay in business. The More important concern of patients these Days is the total Cost of Hospital services not the $7 aspirin. In response to the question Why would a doctor write a prescription for an Over the counter drug As com Mon As an aspirin because your physician is require to control All your medications while you Are in the Hospital. Dear Ann Landers Eureka i have found a solution to the problem that has plagued our modern society what to Call the per son of the opposite sex with whom you Are living but not married. The word fanfare of trumpets please Liaison Naire does t that sound wonderful just think about it. What a perfect fit the word Liaison Means a close connection Bond or interrelationship. The ending Aire has a genteel ring to it. And it fits All  example i am a  we Are Liaison  will you be my Liaison Naire the word can be used to describe homosexual and lesbian couples As Well. I am sending this suggestion no charge  do you think Maryland contributor dear contributor i think it won t Fly. Sounds too much like a  thanks for wanting to help. Dear readers Here s my thought for the Day sent in by a Kala Mazoo Reader religion controls us with the fear that we Are evil. Psychiatry controls us with the fear that we Are crazy. Society controls us with the fear that we Are Les than others. Is it any wonder that so Many people Are nervous wrecks los Angeles times syndicated columnist Landers welcomes your letters you can write to her in care of the stars and stripes. Apo 09211, .
