cost, no matter how painful.
My solution: Rather than
forcing him to use the boys'
locker room, I helped him
change in a corner of the ladies'
room. Then I led him into the
pool myself and spoke with his
teacher about his problems and
concerns. I stayed to watch his
class. And I spoke to the locker
room attendant.
After class was over, my son
agreed to stick with
through the six-week course,
and I agreed to let him quit
once this session was over.
Here's some advice on help-
ing children not to quit:
• Let your child choose and
plan his own activities, with
your guidance.
• Help your child to follow
through on plans, showing up
on time and feeling comfortable
with the activity.
• Talk through and help solve
any problems that may make
your child want to quit
• If you\ child still insists he
wants to quit an activity, make
a plan: Try it for two more
weeks. If you still hate it, then
you can quit
• Don't push on at all costs. If
you've given the activity a fair
shot and your child is still un-
happy, let him quit and try
something else.

Food For Thought
Each year* that you invest $150 toward
your child's's trip to Israel, the Ben Teitel
Charitable Trust will contribute an
additional $100.
Combined, you can save as much as
$1,750 toward the Israel trip of your choice!

Talk about a tasty idea.
Volunteers from the Shera-
ton Hotel in Tel Aviv staff re-
cently prepared a barbecue
dinner for 1,000 — including
200 boys and girls who partici-
pated in a camp organized by
Kay L',Haim (Lifeline), an orga-
nization dedicated to helping
ill children.
Each year Kay L',Haim hosts
a camp for children with can-
cer, cerebral palsy and other
ailments. As part of a recent
session, the hotel volunteers
came to the camp and pre-
pared a five-star dinner of bar-
becue chicken and
hamburgers, fruit, rolls, salad
and juice, much of which was
donated by hotel suppliers.
