Some children are born bosses. They have a need to make decisions, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, “Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe. ”It’s the parents’ duty-not the child’s-to provide safety.
When a “boss child’’ doesn’t learn limits(限制)at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying(遵守)teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways.
Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. It’s important for both parents to know their child’s weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up.
Even as you try to be kind—to a point—don’t give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is.
Good manners are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward(奖励)him with a hug(拥抱)and words such as “Thank you. I like it when you listen to me.” Over time good manners will become associated(联结)with pleasure.

Forgetful President
George Washington was the first president of the United States. 1. But it seems that the president was not a perfect person.
A New York library recently found that Washington borrowed two books from the library in 1789. 2. If he were still alive, he would have to pay the library$300, 000 in fines(罚款), for it has been late for over 220 years.
On October 5, 1789, George Washington went to the New York Society Library.
3. He didn’t sign his name in the borrower’s book. He just wrote “President” to show who had taken them out.
The two books should have been brought back a month later, but they were never returned. Workers at the library realized the books were missing when they organized the library’s old records. The New York Society Library doesn’t expect anyone to pay the fine. 4.
A. It’s said that he never told a lie. B. He then borrowed the books from it. C. However, he didn’t return them on time. D. But it hopes that someone will return the books. E. He kept the books, because he didn’t finish reading them. |
