7、hink of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but
8、 she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mothers age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No can
9、dles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mothers words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthda
10、ys. Its deeds, not years, that matter.”Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born. Im alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her abo
11、ut her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance.

14、 only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids-particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” pr “Stay on the footp
15、ath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way t
16、he human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse (预演). For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it. When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the
17、tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the rig
18、ht way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “H
