Researchers found the more that parents see their child as part of themselves, the more likely they are to want their child to succeed in achieving their own failed dreams. The results might help explain the actions of so-called stage moms or sports dads who push their sometimes-unwilling children to become stars of the stage or gridiron, said Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and professor of communication and psychology at The Ohio State University. Some parents see their children as extensions of themselves, rather than as separate people with their own hopes and dreams, Bushman said. These parents may be most likely to want their children to achieve the dreams that they themselves have not achieved. Some of the dreams that eluded parents included becoming a professional tennis player, writing a published novel and starting a successful business. In the study parents were asked several questions that probed their desire to have their child achieve their own lost dreams. For example, they were asked how strongly they agreed with statements like I hope my child will reach goals that I wasn t able to reach. Results showed that parents who reflected on their own lost dreams (as compared to those of acquaintances) were more likely to want their children to fulfill them but only if they felt strongly that their child was a part of themselves. Moreover, those who felt strongly that their child was a part of themselves were much more likely to want their children to fulfill their dreams but only when they were asked to write about their own unfulfilled ambitions, as opposed to those of acquaintances. Bushman said it was significant that parents who see their children as part of themselves were the ones who transferred their dreams onto their offspring. Parents then may bask in the reflected glory of their children, and lose some of the feelings of regret and disappointment that they couldn t achieve these same goals, he said. They might be living vicariously through their children. Future research will be needed to determine how this desire of parents for their children to fulfill their dreams may impact the mental health of their offspring, Bushman said.

2 Members must attend Special Interest Project Judging to have their project scored so they can be eligible to purchase a Junior Fair pass. At judging, members will be interviewed by a judge who will look at the project and ask questions about things the member has learned. The judge will score the project as Superior, Excellent, or Good. State Fair Qualifiers and Alternates and Award Winners will be selected from members attending Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging. Posters for judging should be no larger than a ½ sheet of poster board. The time that your project will be judged is included in this July 4-H Express Newsletter. *Make-up Judging* To attend Make-up Judging members must submit a written letter of request explaining why make-up judging is needed. All letters are due Tuesday, July 3 to the Extension Office. The 4-H Committee will review letters for approval or disapproval. *State Fair Qualification* Projects in your 4-H Member Handbook marked with an asterisk(*) are eligible to go to the state fair. If a project is eligible for State Fair, qualifiers and alternates will be selected from 4-H members receiving Superior ratings. State Fair qualifiers and alternates will be chosen from members attending Special Interest Project Judging Day, not from those attending make-up judging. *Project Awards* For each Special Interest Project judged on Tuesday, July 10 at the Coulson Building, a maximum of two awards may be given: Outstanding of the Day and Honorable Mention. Outstanding of the Day winners will be selected from projects receiving a Superior rating. Award winners will be recognized with rosettes. 4-H members must participate in Animal Project Judging or make-up judging to be eligible to exhibit an animal at the Monroe County Fair and to purchase a Junior Fair Pass. The schedule for project judging is printed in the July 4-H Express Newsletter. *What Do I Take?* Special Interest Project Judging - Tuesday, July 10 - Monroe County Fairgrounds - Animal Project Interviews & Skillathon Judging - Tuesday, July 24 - Monroe Central High School 1. Completed project record book - signed by your advisor!!! *Skillathons* Specific skillathon activities are listed on the following pages and you can download study sheets from the website at If you do not have internet access, you can also pick up skillathon study sheets at the Extension Office prior to judging day. *Interview* After you have completed the skillathon, you will be interviewed by a judge who will ask questions relating to your project. Possible topics for questions include: Nutrition & Feeding, General Knowledge, Management & Health, Selection, Showing & Fitting, and Record Keeping. During the interview, your project book will be reviewed for completion of learning activities, required records and questions. Your book will be returned to you before you leave. *Scoring* Your total project score will be calculated from the following: skillathon (25 points), interview (50 points), project book (15 points), and appropriate dress/appearance (10 points). This combined score will determine the overall rating of Superior ( points), Excellent (80-89 points), or Good (79 points or below). Receiving a judging score of 64 points or less will cause the project to be scored as Incomplete. Members who receive a score of Incomplete will be required to correct their issues and come to Make-up Judging (or another judging appointment) in order to receive a passing score. Members who do not come to the second judging or receive a passing score will not be eligible to exhibit at the fair or receive a fair pass. *Project Awards* Skillathon Award- Each 4-H member who receives a perfect score on their skillathon activities will receive a Skillathon Award and will be recognized with a rosette. Outstanding Project Knowledge Award- Any member who receives a perfect overall judging score will receive an Outstanding Project Knowledge Award and will be recognized with a plaque during the Monroe County Fair. If no member in a particular species receives a perfect score, the member with the highest score in that project will receive the Outstanding Project Knowledge Award. *Make-up Judging* To attend Make-up Judging, members must submit a written letter of request explaining why make-up judging is needed. All letters are due by Tuesday, July 3 to the Extension Office. The 4-H Committee will review letters for approval or disapproval. Members attending make-up judging will be required to bring their completed project book, complete paper/pencil skillathon activities, and be interviewed by a member of the 4-H Committee. 4-H Express 2 July 2018
