<p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 什么样的父母才是好家长？</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> What makes good parents?</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">The relationship with kids has always troubled parents. Not only school and teachers are crucial to kid’s education, but family as well. A family can affect a child’s character, personality and study. What makes good parents? People may have different answers. In my opinion, the features of being good parents should have the following points.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">First, parents should realize that they are the real models for children. It’s kids’ nature to study and learn from their parents. Maybe some parents wouldn’t notice, but their behaviors are influencing their children every second. To be a good model to your children you have to pay attention of what you are doing. For example, if parents play Majiang everyday, that would be hard for their kids to focus on books.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Second, good communication with kids is also very important. Parents should communicate with your children and share thoughts constantly. For instance, teenagers are going through puberty which probably is their most confused life period. Bad choices may be made, and it’s parent’s responsibility to lead them out of confusion and hesitation. So communication will be more significant in this time.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">Third, parents should learn more knowledge in order to understand children’s psychological progress. It is commonly known that kids will have a bad temper when going through puberty. It is normal since we are going through a stage which our body and self esteem grow fast. So parents should understand how to cope with this situation patiently rather than scold their children simply. Love，trust and patience are what we need the most. Parents always take it for granted that they understand us because they have experienced the teenage years. Actually most of them don’t. Time changes and we are different from them.With proper knowledge of children’s psychological progress, parents can get along well with their children.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;">That’s all, with these suggestions I believe parents will all have a happy and sweet relationship with their kids.</span></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block">（这是飞欧同学初中英语作文，从一个青少年角度去看好父母的标准是什么。现存于此，并附上翻译。）</p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 如何和孩子相处的问题一直困扰着父母。不仅学校和老师对孩子的教育至关重要，家庭也是如此。家庭可以影响孩子的性格、人格和学习。那什么样才算是好父母呢？ 每个人可能有不同的答案。在我看来，好父母应该具备以下几个特点。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 首先，父母应该意识到他们是孩子的真正榜样。孩子的天性就是模仿父母，向父母学习的，也许有一些父母不会太注意，但是他们行为的确每分每秒在影响孩子。做一个好的父母就是时刻注意自己的言行举止。举例来说，如果父母每天都打麻将，那么要求自己孩子好好学习就不容易。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 第二，和自己孩子有良好的沟通也是很重要的。父母应该经常和自己的孩子交流想法，比如青春期是我们青少年最令人困惑的时期，有可能会做出一些愚蠢的决定，很需要父母帮助我们走出困境，这个时期双方良好的沟通就显得非常重要了。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 第三，父母应该多掌握多学习心理知识，以便于更了解自己的孩子。比如处于青春期的孩子容易生气，这很正常，因为我们正在经历身体和自尊心快速的成长。这个时候，父母应该多学习如何和这个时期的孩子们打交道，不能只是批评和指责，爱、耐心和信任是这个时候的我们更需要的。父母总是觉得他们自己经历过青少年时期，所以就想当然认为很了解我们，但事实不是这么回事儿。时代在变，我们和过去的青少年也不一样。如果父母能很好掌握这些心理学知识，就能和孩子相处得好。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 就这些了，我觉得天下父母如果能做到这些，就应该能和他们的孩子有很快乐很甜蜜的亲子关系。</span></p>
