How Color Affects Children's Lives

How Color Affects Children's Lives An Interview with Elaine Ryan, I.S.I.D. John Arena: Elaine, I have just finished reading your new book Color Your Life! which was published this past spring by Strawberry Hill Press, and I liked it very much, the whole thing. But the chapter that most interested me was "You and Your Child." Elaine Ryan: John, that is a very important chapter. As you know, this book was written after years of work with parents wh o were in the process of redecorating their homes. It is not really a book for parents of handicapped or exceptional chil- dren in one sense. Yet, in another it definitely is. )A: In what way, Elaine? ER: I have seen this over and over again as I work with parents of children and particularly parents of handicapped children. So often these youngsters have each and every min- ute of each and every day laid out for them. Virtually every- thing is programmed—their schooling, their therapy, their learning needs, even what they eat and wear and say. As a result, their self-respect and self-esteem are dreadfully low. J A: You're surely on target with that comment. Teachers and parents are well aware of this problem. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Academic Therapy SAGE

Abstract

An Interview with Elaine Ryan, I.S.I.D. John Arena: Elaine, I have just finished reading your new book Color Your Life! which was published this past spring by Strawberry Hill Press, and I liked it very much, the whole thing. But the chapter that most interested me was "You and Your Child." Elaine Ryan: John, that is a very important chapter. As you know, this book was written after years of work with parents wh o were in the process of redecorating their homes. It is not really a book for parents of handicapped or exceptional chil- dren in one sense. Yet, in another it definitely is. )A: In what way, Elaine? ER: I have seen this over and over again as I work with parents of children and particularly parents of handicapped children. So often these youngsters have each and every min- ute of each and every day laid out for them. Virtually every- thing is programmed—their schooling, their therapy, their learning needs, even what they eat and wear and say. As a result, their self-respect and self-esteem are dreadfully low. J A: You're surely on target with that comment. Teachers and parents are well aware of this problem.
