     %PARENT TEACHER PROFESSOR EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE 950120

     A  parent,   teacher or professor who is  emotionally
immature  is  prone to put down a child or student if  the
child or student:

     1.  Demonstrates  a  level   of  insight, perception,
knowledge   or   understanding  which   is   regarded   as
threatening.

     2.  Calls  into  question sacred false assumptions or
dominant aspects of a respected paradigm.

     3.  Exposes  certain  aspects of a collusive game  of
mutual self deception.

     4.  Reveals  hidden  limits and  limitations  of  the
parent, teacher or professor.

     5.  Shows  that what has been regarded as a technical
problem---is  really  a  tragic  dilemma  involving  value
conflicts.

     6.  Fails  to  show proper respect for  traditionally
respected   misleading   assumptions,    beliefs    and/or
practices.

     These   considerations  and  others  much  like  them
suggest that teacher training and selection needs to focus
significantly upon emotional maturity and what promotes or
undermines  emotional maturity.    Emotional  maturity  is
most likely to develop within secure fellowships  promoted
by the giving and acceptance of gifts of the freedom to be
safely vulnerable in being true to self and others.

                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
