Why you shouldn't punish your kids for lying

Getting your children to stop lying is challenging. There are many influences(TV,movies and video games)in which lies are common. Children see parents lie to others,if only to be polite. Most parents add to that with tales about the lives and activities of Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. 【小题1】

The most common reactions to children who lie are explaining why it is wrong and punishments. 【小题2】 Here are three better tools supported by research to use instead.

Give praise: You could ask your child to say something that happened at school that is true. When your child obeys, praise him enthusiastically. Be specific. 【小题3】 and give your child a hug or a high five. Aim for one or two interactions(互动)like this a day. If you happen to "catch" your child in a lie,say something like,“That is not true and could get you in trouble outside of the home.”

Act as a model: Explicitly(明确地)tell the truth. This could be about something that happened when you were a child or something that happened during the day. It need not be dramatic. Another option is to play a game at dinner. Each person tells one thing that was true that day. Again,give a little praise to the child who normally lies if she plays along.

Decrease punishments and moralizing(说教):They are unlikely to change behavior or develop the conduct you want. 【小题4】 Rather,use very mild punishments(light scolding,short loss of privileges,a brief timeout). More severe punishments(shouting,taking away something for a week,hitting)are not more effective in actually changing the frequency of lying.

【小题5】 Usually they can be dropped by then. It is unlikely that lying will be completely removed,but with the right encouragement,it can be dramatically lessened.

A.It is not what that is,but about practice.
B.As ways of changing behavior,these are ineffective.
C.That does not mean ignoring,lying or letting it go.
D.“That was great!You told me what happened just like I asked. Wow!”
E.Try these procedures for two to three weeks and see where you are.
F.“You did a good job,but what you said was not what I'd like to know!”
G.Parents do this out of love,but for some children,lying can become a problem.

How to Say Short-Term Goodbyes

Knowing when and how to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a skill that will help you maintain(维持)your relationships. 【小题1】 Read on to learn how to recognize chances when you leave.

Recognize when to leave. When you’re at any kind of party or gathering, or even in a one-on-one conversation, it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good chances to leave will make a short-term goodbye much easier. Notice if the crowd seems to be decreasing. 【小题2】

【小题3】 Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don’t like telling you that they’d like you to leave, so try to watch for signals. If the host of a party starts cleaning up, or withdraws from the conversation, gather your friends or belongings and make your exit.

Make plans to see each other again. Even saying “See you at school tomorrow” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven’t already made plans, use it as a chance to make them. 【小题4】 Set up a coffee date or meeting for lunch later in the week if it makes the goodbye easier, but don’t promise anything you don’t want to do.

Tell the truth. It can be tempting to come up with a “good excuse” when you’re ready to leave. You don’t need to. 【小题5】 It doesn’t need to be any more complicated than that.

A.Watch body language.
B.Make your exit directly.
C.It’s also easier than it seems sometimes.
D.Even saying “See you soon” suggests just that.
E.However, it is not a good idea to tell the truth immediately.
F.If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave.
G.If you want to leave, just say, “I’m going to go now. See you later.”

A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑).
Students are increasingly using laptops for note­taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note­taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said,“While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long­term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
【小题1】More and more students favour laptops for note­taking because they can ________.
A.write more notesB.digest concepts better
C.get higher scoresD.understand lectures better
【小题2】While taking notes,laptop users tend to be ________.

C.thoughtfulD.tireless
