Shaping a child is like shaping clay（粘土）— you have to start from the beginning and work your way to the end with extreme caution but with gentle and loving 16 . However, unlike clay, you don’t get a second 17 with a child. You can put all the clay back together and start again but with a child, what is done is done. 18 it’s even more caution with care.
Building a child’s esteem is no small play; it makes your black hair 19 , steals away years of your life and still will not look done. Therefore you have to learn how to build self-esteem and 20 your child from the beginning. After all, parenting begins from babyhood.
Small case could leave large 21 on your child’s mind. Reason why you should not overlook something that went wrong. If another child 22 your kid, everyone laughed and you told your son to 23 it, that’s the first wrong step. You have to teach your child to 24 up for himself. Don’t let your child fall down inside. Tell him to ask the child why he is hitting him or 25 to the nearest adult he can reach.
Most of all before you speak to a child you have to be a 26 example. If you go around laughing at people, your kids will do the 27 . If you are a coward（懦夫）yourself and do not stand up to situations, do not 28 your child not to follow you. Children are like monkeys—they copy every 29 , from how you eat to how you handle situations.
Building self-esteem begins at home. Small self-confident acts make a(n) 30 impact on your child.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a building that was except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked.
A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n) , then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ?”
“It’s not the way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”
I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and the meter (计程器). “What would you like me to take?” I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the sun was , she suddenly said: “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in to the address she had given me. There were people waiting for her and they put her in a wheelchair.
“How much do I have to pay you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.
“Nothing,” I said.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
“You gave an old woman a little moment of ,” she said.
I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.
I didn’t any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. We tend to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often 47 us unconsciously.

Peer pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one. For example, hanging out with active peers may lead kids to more, making a child’s social network a vehicle for promoting healthy habits and obesity unconsciously.
The scientists studied networks of a group of students aged 5 to 12 and how the youngsters’ made and dropped friends, and effect these changing relationships had on their physical activity level.
In fact, children their exercise level little by little to better those in their circle; children who with more active students were more to increase their physical activity levels, those who befriended more sedentary(久坐不动的) children became active. The children were mirroring, following or adjusting to be to their friends before they knew it.
The encouraging suggest a potentially effective way to change children’s behavior. relying only on organized exercise programs to get moving, perhaps introducing sedentary kids to more active ones — might help more kids the couch.
It’s believed that this is a possible novel approach to obesity . The social environment does carry more power than we have given it for, so we should make use of that intentionally to influence kids.
that children are increasingly connected to one another, through face-to-face interactions or virtual ones, their networks can clearly have a deep effect many aspects of their behavior-help kids in the long run by turning them into healthier adults.

As a young social worker in a New York City psychiatric clinic, I was asked to see Roz, a 20-year-old woman who had been referred to us from another psychiatric clinic. It was an referral in that no information was received her first appointment. I was told to “play it by ear”, and to what her problems were and what she needed.
an examination to go on, I saw Roz as an unhappy, misunderstood young woman who hadn’t been listened to in her earlier treatment. Her family situation was unpleasant. I didn’t see her as disturbed, rather as lonely and misunderstood. She responded so to being heard. I encouraged her to start a life worth living — to find a job, a satisfying place to live and new relationships. We hit it off well, and she making important changes in her life.
The records from the previous psychiatric clinic arrived a month after Roz and I began our successful work together. To my complete surprise, her records were several inches thick, a long period of psychiastric hospitalization. Her diagnosis was “paranoid schizophrenic(妄想型精神分裂症)”, with a that she was “hopeless”.
That had not been my experience with Roz at all so I decided to forget those pieces of paper. I never treated her as if she had that “hopeless” treatment. I did find out about the horrors for Roz of the hospitalization, of being drugged, separated and abused. I also learned a lot from her about such deeply and unforgettably shocking circumstances.
First Roz found a job, then a place to live away from her difficult . After several months of working together, she introduced me to her husband-to-be, a successful businessman who adored her.
When we our treatment, Roz gave me the gift of a silver bookmark and a note that said, “Thank you for believing and encouraging me.”
