2 As a parent we want great things for our children but unless that desire comes from within your child,they cannot succeed. I saw situations where parents had taken away the opportunity for their child to develop that burning desire to succeed. When parents step in and take these decisions away from young athletes,the young never develop the desire to win the competition at a higher level demands.
Goal setting is a training that successful people practice. Sports are great places to develop the habit of goal setting.

Your dedication,approval,and respect for dedication will help develop it in your child.

Nearly every parent loses control and screams at the children now and then. But what if you do it repeatedly?
Researchers suspect parents are yelling more. 1 Three out of four parents yell,scream or shout at their children or teens about once a month,on average,for misbehaving or making them angry,research shows. Increasingly,therapists and parenting experts are homing in on how it hurts a child,as well as how to stop it.
Research shows that many parents lose control because they feel attacked or think the child's actions reflect poorly on them. Teens whose parents use "harsh verbal discipline" such as shouting or insulting are more likely to have behavior problems and depression symptoms,says a recent study.
2 Eight-year-olds whose parents disciplined them by yelling have less satisfying relationships with romantic partners and spouses at age 23,according to a 15-year study led by Stephanie Parade,an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.
3 Warning signs can include：tightness in the throat or chest,rapid breathing,negative thoughts about oneself or feelings of being overwhelmed.
"Learning to start sentences with ' I,rather than * you' can help parents shift from an angry attack to a teaching moment," Ms. Faber says.
Leigh Fransen felt like yelling when her daughters,Alona and Elisha,forgot to feed the family dog,Balto,on two evenings in the same week. Ms. Fransen said, "I wanted to yell, 'You're not getting any dinner tonight,because you didn't feed the dog. 4 ，―that would lead to nothing but tears and misery."
Instead,she started her response with "I” ，saying, "I don't like seeing the dog not fed. Look at him: He is miserable.5 Ms. Fransen says. Alona and Elisha needed to be reminded of the deadline twice,but soon learned to remember on their own. Ms. Fransen praised them for taking responsibility and encouraged them.
A. And you're going to know how it feels.
B. I expect him to be fed before you eat your own dinner.
C. Parents have been conditioned to avoid spanking,so they vent their anger by shouting instead.
D. Parents can learn to notice signs that a blowup is brewing and dial down their own tension.
E. Apologizing can help repair a relationship after an outburst.
F. Another study suggests yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking.
G. Parents can turn a meltdown into a teaching moment by involving kids in finding solutions.

To be a good teacher,you need some of the gifts of a good actor―you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience;1 with a good,strong,pleasing voice which is fully under your control;and you must be able to act what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher,and 2 ;he stands the whole time for his explanations,using his face to express his feelings. Listen to him,and you will hear the loudness,the quality (音色) and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.
The fact that 3 doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to repeat words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words. Each time he plays a certain part,even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. 4
A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions;they obey orders,and if they don't understand something,they say so. 5 He cannot learn his part by heart,but must invent it as he goes along. I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but unable to take part in a stage play because they could not keep strictly to what other people had written.
A. you must be a clear speaker
B. Teachers are very important for students.
C. a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor
D. you will see that he does not sit still before his class
E. A good teacher must learn from a good actor on the stage.
F. The teacher therefore has to meet the needs of his audience.
G. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions natural on the stage.
