TEENS GET IT OFF THEIR CHESTS

In the article, ”Teens Get It OffTheir Chests: A List for Parents Only,”three child psychiatrists suggest howthe thoughts, ideas and "gripes" frommore than 200 teenagers interviewedcan help adults to be good parents.Would your 4-H leaders be interestedin discussing the teenagers' sugges—tions in an informal session focusedon learning about how teenagers think?If your answer is "yes,” I suggestthat you study the summarization ofthe article, a copy of which isenclosed, and make plans to get your4—H leaders together for an open dis-cussion.

THE GAME OF COMMUNITY

The State 4~H office recently pur-chased four sets of a 4-H/CRD(Community Resource Development)simulated game designed to helpyouth understand how communitiesoperate. The game was developedby members of the Extension Divisionof Virginia Polytechnic Instituteand State University and is entitledCommunity.

The design of the game is similarto Monopoly. A gamemaster's guide—book is included in each set; itexplains rules and procedures to befollowed. Those who plan to assumethe role of gamemaster for the firsttime with a group of 6 to 10 youthwho are 10 years old or older shouldplan to allow a couple of hours ofpractice before assembling the group.After playing one time, the game—master role comes easily.

The sets of Community were purchasedwith the assumption that those ofyou who are emphasizing 4—H/CRD inyour program will find the games auseful teaching aid. I will coordi-nate the distribution of the setsand request that you do not plan tokeep a set more than 3 weeks includ-ing mailing time. Orders will befilled on a first-come, first—servebasis. If all sets are out when youorder, I will advise you about alter—nate dates that sets will be avail-able.

I recommend that you secure 4 or 5adult volunteers and teach them howto play. They can play with groupsof 4~H'ers and the playing sessionscan be treated as 4—H Special Inter-est Groups who focus on the subjectof 4-H/CRD. This can be a tremendouslearning experience for 4—H”ers.

They will get a great deal of funfrom playing one or more sessions.

Have fun and learn! Please keep meinformed about your success or prob—lems encountered in using the game.

ALUMNI RECOGNITION RECORDSAs you will note in the ”Summary of4—H Record Books and Other Programs,1977” which is enclosed with the fizfiNews, only one alumni recognitionrecord was submitted. This is indeedsad when one considers the outstand—ing individuals from North Carolina,or now living in North Carolina, whoare former 4_H'ers. The fact thatfor seven of the past eight yearsNorth Carolina has had at least oneor two of the eight national alumniwinners is evidence of our potentialin this program.

Why not take a look at the outstand—ing individuals who are now livingin your county or who are from yourcounty but now live elsewhere? Werethey 4-H members? If so, they areeligible to be nominated. Recogni-tion is based primarily on one'ssuccess in his/her chosen field ofendeavor and not on one's past orpresent involvement with 4-H.

The date for submitting alumni recog—nition records will be extended toJune 1. Use the "State NominationForm" found on page 19 of theNational 4—H Awards Program Supple-ment to the 1976 Handbook for LocalLeaders. Additional pages may beadded.

General Recommendations for Preparing Records

for District Competition

We, the Extension 4-H Agents who judged l977 records at the district level,commend the 4-HI ers, leaders and prOfessional staffs for submitting their re-cords, for the generally high quality of the records, and fbr the good conditionin which most records were submitted.

We make the following recommendations for future record preparation:

Rely heavily on the slide-tape presentation, "A Matter of Record? and"The National Report Form, Hints to Help You Complete This Form."These material provide excellent, concise information.

Review with leaders and/or 4—H'ers the current requirements for com-pleting a cumulative record and project record.

Encourage 4—H'ers to condense the information they present, especiallythose 4-H'ers with long and varied participation. Have them list onlythe important information.

Suggest that 4-H'ers use divider sheets with labeled tabs attachedbetween sections. Use tape, staples, etc., to assure that tab namesdo not fall from tabs.

Encourage 4-H'ers to type all information, if cssible, Some hand-writing is difficult, and even impossible, to read.

Stress to 4-H'ers that the story should concentrate on the major pro-ject area. Refer to reference material mentioned above for detailsconcerning the story. The story includes five parts but should bewritten as one simple flowing story, not literally divided into fiveparts.

Encourage 4-H' ers to participate in more community service and citizen-ship activities as they relate to both the major project area andother project areas.

Emphasise the importance of leadership activies. Four-H'ers shoulddemonstrate their abilities to help others and to share with otherstheir knowledge and experiences.

PRIVATE SUPPORT OF MICHIGAN 4-H YOUTH PROGRAMSIN l975--AN ABSTRACT OF A STUDY*

While we will only abstract a portion of the most relevant information,we will offer to lend you a copy made available by Dr. Norman Brown,Michigan 4—H program director. Contact Pete Lewis who has a copy onfile. As you read this abstract, think in terms of the same level ofsupport happening in North Carolina, modified only because of thedifferent levels of population.

A two—part study was made of the private support to 4—H atthe local and county level during the calendar year 1975.The first part of the study consisted of a survey to eachof the 83 counties to determine the private support providedin dollars and in kind to county wide programs. The secondpart of the study was a sample of counties based on thenumber of adult volunteer leaders to determine private sup-port to 4-H.

It was found that private support to counties in dollarsand in kind for LeadersI Banquets, Awards, Trips, MeetingFacilities, Citizenship Shortcourse and other items totaled$685,055 for the state.

The volunteer time and resource part of the study indicateda total of over 23 million dollars contributed in the formof time, travel, phone, supplies and other resources furn—ished by volunteers. The combined totals indicated a valueof nearly 24 million dollars in private support to Michigan4—H — Youth Programs for the year 1975 utilizing a value of$3.50 per hour for time contributed by adult volunteerleaders.

According to the random sample of Michigan's 17,864 4—H adultvolunteer leaders the "average" leader spent ggg hours peryear on 4-H efforts. It was also noted that the averageleader made 12$ 4—H phone calls and provided 119 servingsof refreshments in 1975. The average Michigan 4-H leaderdrove 5&8 miles and provided other resources such as sup—plies, tools, equipment and buildings which were worth theequivalent of $196.17. The value in dollars and in kindto each of Michigan‘s 251,666 4-H participants was $96.29.

(OVER)

*A study conducted by Theresa Dow as an MSU undergraduate independentstudy project. Advisor, Dr. Lowell F. Rothert, Program Leader,Michigan 4—H - Youth Programs.

From the best data available, it appeared that in Michiganadult volunteer leaders contributed 15.6 hours to eachhour of paid staff time devoted to 4-H. It should be notedthat no attempt was made to include the efforts of the5,139 Michigan 4-H teen leaders in this study.

It appears that for every public dollar spent on 4—H — YouthPrograms an additional $4-$5 are gained in private support.

“Teens Get It All Off Their Chests: A List For Parents Only”*

In this article, Jhan Robbins tells how group sessions were conducted with more than 200teenagers in Missouri, Massachusetts, and New Jersey to get their thoughts on ”how to be agood parent." The youth were encouraged to speak out - and they did. Three psychiatristsscreened the suggestions and felt that the youth's suggestions could prove to be helpful toparents. How useful these suggestions might prove to be to a parent will depend on the abilityof the parent to read them and to hear them from teenagers other than his own. Listed areseveral of the ”anthology of gripes" that the article presented:*I hate being bawled out, especially in front of others, and if you have something to say,why can't it wait until we're alone.*You say that you want to spare me and that's why you shut the door when you parents fight.I suppose I can't solve all the world's problems, but who knows - in this case maybe I canhelp. In any event, I will feel needed.*Don't keep telling me that you're sacrificing your life for me. I want you to live foryourself and not just for me.*When I choose friends, don't ask them what their father does or other personal junk thatreally doesn't matter. After all, if his father is a lawyer, will it make him a betterfriend than some truck driver's kid?*But that doesn't mean that you should stand back completely. I really want my friends toknow and like you.*If you allow me some privilege like using the car, don't always talk about it afterward;how you did something really special. I may not heap thanks out on you, but I am appreciative.*I'm likely to close my ears when you start a conversation with, “When I was your age....”I just can't picture you at my age!*Aren't there times when you're in a foul mood and want to be left alone? That goes for metoo.*Sometimes you could be wrong. When you make a mistake, please admit it. That will sure helpus become friends.*You want me to tell the truth, but sometimes when I do, you hold it against me. This makesme think that the next time I should lie.*Please don't try to be one of the gang; I want a mother and father - not more pals.*Sure, it's nice that you look young. But the truth is that I don't really want you to looktoo young.A teenager shouldn't expect much relief if he waves this list in front of his parents andinsist that it be read immediately, but many of the complaints are worth the parents' readingand study. Who knows? It is very possible that the kids themselves may have the solutionsand the answers to many of the teenage-parent problems.
