Parenting strategies suggested for success
By.JeffPennlsl
Staff Writer
Exploring the parent-teenager relationship
and how conflicts should be resolved were the
topics of the lecture "Happy Daze' Teenage
Parenting" delivered by Licensed Clinical So¬
cial Worker Babs Eskm to a 40-plus crowd of
CSUF employees Tuesday.
The lecture, from noon tori) pjn. in Main
Cafeteria Room 20Z was sponsored by the
Employees Assistance Program (EAP) as part
of its Leam-at-Lunch Series. The lecture
touched on many different aspects of parent-
child problems, especially those dealing with
teenagers.
More specific strategies and techniques in
dealing with teenage problems will be
addressed by Eskin in the second part of the
series, March 11. "I wanted to present a
general (overview)," said Eskin. "Next I want
to look at specific techniques in dealing with
teenagers."
. Eskin made a special note of three mistakes
parents make in dealing with their children.
The first is the need to be perfect. "The need to '
be prefect is«a burden," Eskin said. "That need
for perfection gets in our way."
The need for parents and childreh to win
arguments is another. "If you have a winner,
what else do you have? A loser," she said.
Being right or wrong is not as important as
dealing with the conflict "How you resolve
things are more important then who is wrong
or right," she said.
Third, the need of parents to be popular is
another problem, according to Eskin. To be
popular with their children and friends, parents
often are more concerned with hcrw something
will look to others than the problem itself.
"What will people think about how I'm raising
my child (is a concern of many parents),"
Eskin said.
Eskin suggests parents form groups;with
friends who have children of the same age/The
parents will not feel alone, and the pressure to
be perfect will also be lessened, she said.
George Raney, a professor in the Ling¬
uistics Department who attended the lecture,
can relate to Eskin's message. He has a 13, IS
and 17-year-old child. They find your imper¬
fections," Raney said. Children tend to be
critical, he said. "They say you dress like a
'geek,' whatever that means," and will not even
sit with parents in church. Raney said.
Between the ages of 10 and 18, a child is
trying to find his or her identity, according to
Eskin. This is why these years are so difficult
for parents. The child is exploring just as he or
she did at that age.
The EAP has been a full-time department
for two years and has sponsored lectures on
such topics as AIDS, work burnout, econ¬
omics' and other issues important to the
committee.
CSUF General Education
5-year review applauded
By Tim Hurrianko
Staff Writer
An outside team of educators were on
campus Tuesday to evaluate CSUFs re¬
structured general education program and
give tips on how the fifth-year review
might be improved.
Dr. Robert Bess, vice president of oper¬
ations and finance for California State
University, Sacramento, called the analysis
of CSUF "the most ambitious analysis
undertaken of all the 19 CSU; "
Joining Dr. Bess were Dr. Allan Wendt,
a retired professor of English and foreign
languages at Mills College; Dr. Clifton
Conrad, a professor from the college of
education at the University of Arizona; and
Dr. Joseph Pusateri, dean of arts and
sciences at the University of San Diego.
The restructured- general education
program was put in place to address
problems of higher education, such as die
need for a balance between research and
teaching, according to Wendt.
Many of these problems were alluded to
recently in a report on higher education
released by the Carnegie Foundation that
was critical of what colleges and univer¬
sities have been doing, or not doing, in the
area of general education.
The report covered colleges and univ¬
ersities nationwide and would probably be
less critical of CSUF, and the CSU
system, according to Conrad.
"Boyer's book (the author of the Carn¬
egie Report) is basically a point of view
he's had for IS years and should be taken in
that context," Conrad said.

"U.S. imperialism has gotten so soph¬
isticated that it takes technical theory to���understand our own exploitation," Martinez
said.
Vatter also said there is a connection
between a parent's age and the income bracket
they belong to. "The younger the father and
mother, the stronger the correlation to a low
income."
•The issues of birth control and abortion are
not matters that should be spoken of in a
religious or moral sense, Martinez said.
Political powers are using religion and mor¬
ality to attack the right of women to control
their bodies, she said.
Martinez also spoke of the forms of control
that are used by society to keep women in
their place. Racial or sexual jokes, the way a
person treats you, rape and incest are used as
ways to control female behavior, she said.
"That kind of control has always been
there," Vatter said, who has her own ideas on
how to combat oppression.
"I don't think we've even begun to persuade
a large number of women to stay away from
other women's husbands. That would be a
good first step," Vatter said.
