Listen to your body2.听你的身体的话Its better to listen to your body and let your intuition prompt you to find time for rest orexercises. Your body always gives you signals to fulfill its needs.Your body often lacks variousnourishing elemen
39、ts and minerals. It analyzes the information about the work of differentsystems and sends an impulse to your brain.最好听你身体的话,让你的直觉提示你来抽时间休息或者锻炼。你的身体往往会给你一些信号来满足身体需求。你的身体常常会缺乏多种营养元素和矿物质。身体会分析不同系统工作的信息,然后给你的大脑发出刺激。If you feel that your body needs some kinds of foods, you should try to eat them withenjo

43、e playground? Dont they sound, rather, er, wishy-washy sometimes? “Sophie, we dont throw sand atour friends, OK?“ Or, “Declan, its time to go now,OK?“ Or, “Madge, leave that dog poo alone, OK? Poois yucky, OK?“你有没有在操场上偶然听到其他父母的谈话?有时候,他们是不是含糊其辞?“苏菲,不要向朋友扔沙子,好吗?“或者,“德克兰,我们得走了,行不行?“再或者,“马格,不要碰狗屎,可不可以?便
44、便很恶心哎,好不好?“The thing is, for Madge, it is not OK. She wants toroll in dog poo more than anything shes ever wanted in her two years on earth.

45、your stupid bathtub. Sophiejust really wants to blind her playmate.但问题是,对于马格来说,这是不行的。她才两岁啊,在她这个年纪,她就是想要滚狗屎。而德克兰宁愿一个人在操场上呆一整晚,暴露在世界中,在跷跷板下挖洞取暖,也不愿意回家爬到愚蠢的浴缸中洗澡。而苏菲就是想让玩伴眼瞎。Which makes the suffix “OK?“ kind of absurd.

What wereally want to do is guide kids and set limits, not ask that they agree with us at every turn.对有些家长而言-我认为自己属于这类家长 -我们不想成为独裁者,所以我们往往会在达成共识方面犯错。我们真正想做的只是引导孩子,为他们设定限制,而不是让他们每次都照我们说的去做。This doesnt mean that children cant have inp
48、ut and some control, as Hannah Gooding notesabove. When I can think ahead enough, Ill say something to my son like, “Were leaving thebeach in five minutes,“ and when he (inevitably) screamsnooooo, I say, “When we get home,we can have a bath first or a little TV first -which would you like?“如汉娜古丁所述,这
49、并不意味着不能给孩子建议或是不能约束孩子。当我遥想未来时,我会对儿子说类似这样的话,“五分钟后,我们就得离开海滩了,“当他(不可避免地)尖叫着说不行时,我会说,“回家后,我们可以先洗澡或先看电视-你喜欢哪一种?“If Im lucky, that sufficiently distracts him from the pain of leaving the beach. If Im not, hescreams bloody murder and I have to frog-march him to the car.如果幸运,这足以让他分心,让他觉得离开海滩也不会很痛苦。如果不幸,他会杀猪般地尖叫,而我会把他赶到车上。But Im going to remove “OK“ from my parenting vocabulary, because I think it gives kids anillusion of input they dont actually have, and thats kind of a crummy thing to do. Let themhave input when you really mean it
