YOUR CHILDREN AND YOU. BIS 1947 31min

sh-c-ad
Made for the British Ministry of Health in cooperation with the Central Council on Health Education
Concerns the care of young children from the first months to the age of four or five. The straightforward commentary offers advice on sound training on the physical side, and on the psychological side gives hints on the prevention of unnecessary fears, of boredom and of maladjustment. The approach is realistic, for the film shows the home as it really is and portrays the struggles of average imperfect parents and average imperfect children
"Information is practical with sound empbasis on the psychological handling of the child through affection and the giving of a sense of security." Library journal
"An outstanding film on child development and care. Suggests ways parents can deal with problems in parent-child relationships. Would recommend it as a 'must' for all parents." Collaborator

Collaborator: William G. Brink, professor of education, Northwestern University

HOW TO JUDGE FACTS. Coronet 1948 lOmin sd $45; also color $90 153
Jh-sh-c-ad Guide
Collaborator: William G. Brink, professor of education, Northwestern University
Helps students establish a judicious mental attitude toward fact-finding. Like Jim, the higii school sophomore who writes a "sensational" story for his school newspaper, they'll learn to guard against platitudes, false analogies, assumptions and double meanings
"This well-written film concretizes the process of arriving at an objective estimate of a specific situation. It may be said, perhaps, that even the grreenest reporter would have gone first to the obvious source of information, the high school authorities. Yet everyone's daily experience attests otherwise. Moreover — and this is a point which should be of especial interest to teachers — the basic situation, excellent as it is, does not absorb interest away from the principles in question. The incidents are so devised a^ to turn the mind from the particular to the general problem of how to judge facts." Nat. bd. of review
