As your child progresses through life, he will make mistakes. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to correct those mistakes, but you should use the right way to correct your child’s mistakes or else you risk harming his self-esteem (自尊) or causing problems in your relationship. Using the right way to offer your child constructive criticism (建设性的批评) encourages healthy development.
Parents should be willing to teach their child proper behaviors when offering constructive criticism, according to an Everyday Health article. If your child’s leaving food particles on dishes that he’s washed, teach him your way of properly washing dishes, as opposed to shouting at him or thinking he’s lazy. You can say, “I know you work hard at washing the dishes every night. But for the past few weeks I’ve noticed that there’s been some food stuck on some of the dishes. I used to do this when I was about your age, too. May I show you the way I’ve learned to wash the dishes?”
Your child will probably not reply to your criticism if it is given in an angry tone (语气). Talk to your child when you’re calm and clear-headed. It’s difficult enough to receive criticism because no one really wants to hear about their mistakes, says psychiatrist Harry Croft, so it’s important that you use a loving tone when correcting your child’s mistakes. If the matter doesn’t need to be dealt with immediately, give yourself as much time as you need — even go for a walk — before correcting your child’s behaviors.
Comparison is never a good way of offering constructive criticism. When you compare your child with someone else, you are creating feelings of inadequacy (缺乏信心) in your child, which can have long-lasting bad influences. Instead, focus on your child, his behaviors, and the things he might be able to improve. Instead of saying, “I wish you could be respectful to your grandparents like your brother,” try saying, “I really want you to work on having more respect for your grandparents.”

7 . The past two years, instead of my favourite maple-frosted donut (枫糖霜甜甜圈) cake, I had one birthday request from my family — hiking (远足) and a picnic together. Thankfully, it was my special day, so they only rolled their eyes and sighed once and then agreed to come along — exploring new places and discovering hidden waterfalls.
That was the past two years. That’s not today.
Today is my birthday, and I’m on the other side of the world. I wish that I could hang out with my family and friends in the US. Just for today — on my birthday.
We are “lonely internationals.” It’s hard. I won’t pretend (假装) it’s not.
My mother, “Nana” to my four boys, tells me regularly how she has missed almost all of her grandsons’ birthday celebrations. She intentionally (有意地) connects with them through texts and FaceTime on their birthdays so that she can join us for the time of singing “Happy Birthday” and SEE the kids blow out their candles.
However, that is not the same as “being there” physically — together. She feels like she misses our major life milestones called “birthdays.”
Today, I’m okay. My mother had made an e-card for me, sent to my email box early this morning. She never forgets. My in-laws, my sister and her family, my sweet friend in France, and my dear friends here in Spain and over there in the US have already wished me “Happy Birthday” online. Some even mailed me cards and gifts across the sea.
The only “gifts” I’m missing are maple-frosted donuts for a birthday cake. My mother tried to bring them to me in Europe when she travelled to visit me. However, after a 20-hour trip across the sea, they weren’t so fresh anymore.
Tonight, we will have a special dinner outside on our back porch in the cool, evening air. I will blow out A LOT of candles on my birthday cake.
I am happy. I have breath, life, a heartbeat, and deep inner joy from the love of my family and friends around the world.

8 . How can fire or hot things be a danger in the house? Matches, of course, are always dangerous in the hands of young children. A wind comes, sparks are blown onto the roof of a house, and the whole building may be burnt to the ground before you can even call the Fire Brigade. Kerosene lamps (煤油灯), too, can be very dangerous. Quite recently there was a bad accident in a village house. The mosquito net over a baby’s bed was blown against a lamp and caught fire. The bedclothes and even the clothes of the baby were burnt before the fire was discovered. Besides, it’s very dangerous to burn wood or garbage next to your house.
Young children often reach up to a table to take a pot down by its handle. If the pot is full of boiling water, you can guess what will happen. Similarly, when a baby’s bath is prepared, cold water should be put in first. If any hot water has to be used, it should be put into the bath after the cold water but not before it.
Many fireworks can lead to blindness and other injuries. Wooden spears or swords should be used only by children with sense enough not to injure other people.
Very young children often have to be watched very carefully. They put everything they find into their mouths to see whether it can be eaten. Medicines have to be put out of their reach. A pill or some ointment which might be harmless to a grown-up can be very harmful to a baby.
If there are stairs in your house, do not put a mat at the top of them unless you want to crash down the stairs on your shoulder or head. Make sure, too, that your mats do not have curly edges. These are dangerous for the very young and the very old: those who cannot see as well as we can. If there are any deep holes in or near your garden, see that they are filled in or properly covered up.
This blacklist of the dangers in and near a house is not complete, but it is enough to remind you to be careful. If you want to take a risk, do it on the sports field or, when you are older, by serving your country in the Army.

9 . Jealous Ken
Dick and Ken lived in the same street. Both children had a good home and lots of nice things.
Dick and Ken grew up and got jobs. At first, they both cycled to work every morning. Then Dick bought a motorcycle. Every morning, Dick on his motorcycle rode past Ken on his bicycle, and Ken felt jealous.
Ken worked hard until he had enough money for a car. He bought a car,and it was as good as Dick’s car. There were a lot of other cars on the road, so the journey to work was slower, but Ken was happy.

10 . This journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o’clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for probably the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late, walking around the house many times over, checking one last time to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found the surroundings grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.
I decided to step out and stretch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.
I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, whitehaired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine, and saw no reason not to do so.
