English language, I can see by their warm smiles that they appreciate my work and Ukrainian folk culture.” It should be noted that Ulana Kot’s translator spoke only Russian, unlike the translators for other performing artists from the U.S.S.R. who had translators that spoke their native languages. This was the subject of a Ukrain ian Weekly letter to the editor of July 31. As for Kot’s experience with the Ukrainian commun ity she says, “ I feel that I am surrounded by family here. Never did I expect there to be such a large and well organized Ukrainian community in Washington. They have welcomed me with open arms and invited me into their homes. I saw the tears that my songs brought to their eyes and am glad that Ukrainians in America have not forgotten their heritage. I now consider the friends I have made my family in America and hope to someday greet them on Ukrainian soil.” Kot was particu larly moved by her visit to the Taras Shevchenko monument. Her plans for the future include devoting herself to preserving the beautiful Ukrainian traditions and folk arts. Upon her departure Ulana Kot requested that this author convey a genuine Polissyan greeting to all: May your fate bloom like the embroidery on a wedding rushnyk, May your youth be sweet as the orchard blossom, May your middle years be a neverending flowering, And in your later years may you live without aging I wish you happiness and health, From the clear waters of the spring, May you never encounter troubles, Good luck to you and your children, Everlasting beauty and many happy years. Folk art has always influenced the development of people’s awareness of their indentity and glorified their finest features — humour, wisdom, courage, and devo tion to freedom. The Ukrainian people’s artistic talent, their poetic nature and imagery of their thought finds an outlet in folk art. We are truly indebted to Ulana Kot and others like her who through their efforts have helped preserve for the future which was built upon generations. Orysia Pylyshenko GETTING ALONG WITH YOUR TEEN Here are some ideas and techniques parents you know can try to improve their relationship with their teenagers... 1. Make time for your teen. Find an activity you en joy doing together and pursue it. If your invitations are declined, keep asking. 2. Listen, really listen. Because parents have so much to do and so little time, we often try to listen while cleaning, washing dishes or fixing the car. Put your chores aside so your teen knows you’re really paying at tention. 3. Take the long view. Don’t treat minor mishaps as major catastrophes. Choose the important issues. Don’t make your home a battleground. 4. Tolerate differences. View your teenager as an individual distinct from you. This doesn’t mean you can’t state your opinion if you disagree. 5. Respect your teenager’s privacy. If a behavior is worrying you, speak up. 6. Let your teens sort things out themselves. Never say that you know how your teen feels. They believe their feelings, so new and personal, are unique. They’ll learn otherwise — without your help. And never imply that the feelings don’t matter or will change. Because teens live in the present, it doesn’t matter that they’ll soon feel differently. 7. Don’t judge. State facts instead of opinions when you praise or criticize. Stating facts like ’’Your poem made me smile” or “This report card is all C’s and D’s!” leaves it up to your teen to draw the appropriate conclu sions. Teens are sensitive about being judged positively as well as negatively. 8. Be generous with praise. Praise your child’s efforts, not just accomplishments. And don’t comment on the person. ’’You’re a great artist” is hard to live up to. ” l loved that drawing” is a fact and comes from your heart. 9. Set reasonable limits. Teens need them. Your rules should be consistently applied — and rooted in your deepest beliefs and values. 10. Teach your teen to make sensible decisions and choices by encouraging independence and letting your teenager make mistakes. Don’t step in unless you have to. 11. If you’re a parent worried about your kid and need help, call the Covenant House NINELINE, 1-800- 999-9999. We’ll do our best to help you.
