Anyone's thumb can be a green one--if he understands how his garden grows! Coping Minor handicap can crush child's spirit sighed. "Society expects mothers to give and give and sometimes I feel I'm all 'gived' Mothers may feel fatigue and irritability, Dr. Denhoff noted. They may become defensive or overprotective towards their child. Fathers may feel unneeded.

pushed aside and resentful of the family energy and money expended to maintain what one father called his "maverick" child. Other children in the farmly may feel ignored or threatened. What's the difference between these families for whom a learning disability becomes a destructive force and families who manage to cope with and even overcome such 21 problem? Dr Denhoff provides two major clues. 1. Early identification of danger signals.

Dear Abby Well-endowed Woman Says Her Cantaloupes Attract Fruit Flies By Abigail Van Buren 1975 by Chicago News Inc. DEAR ABBY: I can't believe that I am actually writing a Dear Abby letter, but I need to know how to solve a thorny problem. I have an acquaintance of many years who teaches high school.

He is male and unattached, and he spends his summers traveling around the country (and, indeed, the world), freeloading on his friends. He writes to say he'll be in the neighborhood, and asks whether he may "visit" for a few days. Then he moves in and stays a week or longer if he can get away with it. He's wired and dined, and he never, never reciprocates. In fact, when he is out for dinner, he always finds an excuse to get so deeply involved in conversation with someone at the table that the check could lay there collecting moss before he'd pick it up.

He is on his way here, then he's visiting a mutual friend and after that, another mutual friend. They don't know his game, but I do. Should I wise them up? And how would you suggest I treat this man? JUST WONDERING DEAR JUST: Don't wise up anyone. And treat him like you'd treat any other freeloader. No one can take advantage of you without your cooperation.

DEAR ABBY: A girl signed "Grapenuts" wrote: "My mother said that for her 40th birthday she wants to have plastic surgery to have her 'grapes' enlarged to about grapefruit size, but Dad says he likes her 'dried raisins' the way they Well, please inform "Grapenuts" to tell her mother that I have a couple of honeydews I'd gladly trade for her grapes. It's no juke toting around all this excess produce. All it attracts is fruit flies! "FUTURE WATERMELONS" DEAR FUTURE: My mail tells me that too much of a good thing can be every bit as agonizing as too little. The trade you offer isn't possible, but a competent plastic surgeon could whittle down your watermelons to canteloupe size. DEAR ABBY: The "Saint" from St.

Louis who declined to meet the topless dancer reminded me of an incident in my own life. My late husband, a police detective, called one day to inform me that he was bringing a couple home for dinner. I found them to be charming, intelligent and good company. After they left, my husband told me that she was a and he was a pimp! Some time later they were married. She quit her profession and 50 did he.

Subsequently, we became very good friends. When my husband's illness was diagnosed as terminal, the former pimp was the only friend who offered to finance a crip to the Mayo Clinic in the hope that it could save him. I suggest that Mrs. "Saint" overcome her bias. She may find a fine friend in the topless dancer.

Who are we to judge? POLICEMAN'S WIDOW DEAR WIDOW: Amen. Everyone has a problem. Whut's yours? For a personal reply. write to ABBY: Box No. 69700, L.A., Calif.

90069. Enclose stamped, self-addressed envelope, please. Hate to write letters? Send $1 to Abigail Van Buren, 132 Lusky Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212, for Abby's booklet "How to Write Letters for All Occasions." Please enclose a long. self addressed, stumped envelope.

Recent books such as "Speaking of Children' by Careth Ellingson Row) provides a number of indicators which professionals use to identify Minimal Brain Dysfunction and other Learning Disabilities. Both Mrs.

Ellingson and Dr. Denhoff remind parents that children mature at a highly variable rate. Short attention span. motor clumsiness. hyperactivity these behaviors can have many causes.

Before they jump to any conclusions about their developing youngster, parents should seek the diagnosis of a well-qualified pediatrician or neurologist. The main thing is to prevent a possible neurological handicap resulting in low self-esteem, despair, delinquency and an attitude that defeats a person before he begins. 2 Early and comprehensive family support: A child with a learning disability needs support from his-her family, and that family needs support from pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, schools and the community. When such support is provided, as it was in a special project at the Governor Medical Center in Rhode Island, the outcome can be excellent. Dr.

Denhoff reports that 55 per cent of the youths in that program turned out to be problem-free and functioning normally, while 31 per cent required continuing support. Allowing for a of dropouts and late referrals, the failure rate in this group was only 6 per cent. Since programs like the Governor State project are rare. parents may find a practical guide such as "Helping Children Overcome Learning by Jerome Rosner Co. a means of mapping out an effective testingteaching plan of action.
