Stop Yelling At Your Kids
Parenting is hard. If you’re a parent, I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you that our job is a tough one. When you're managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are still learning. If you find yourself yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I’ve been working on this for the past few months and I have to say,it’s been amazing for both the kids and me.
If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!
One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can’t expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect -taking into consideration things like their age - it can make a big difference. You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you’d better whisper. It can also help diffuse any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your kids, the better you’ll get at communicating with them. You’re both more likely to understand each other.
If your children aren’t listening or it seems they only don’t listen to you, you don’t take it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they’re not going to be perfect.

Far fewer bouquets(花束) and handwritten messages adorned the gates of the former London home of Diana, Princess of Wales, than a year ago, when the grounds of Kensington Palace became a vest carpet of flowers.
But on the anniversary of the car crash that ended Diana's life last Aug. 31, some often cards placed on the wroughtuiron(熟铁,锻铁) bars of the gate were revealing. One read: "They made life hard for you. Now they are copying you."
"They" means Queen Elizabeth U and her family, and the message is a reference to a statement for Buckingham Palace a few days earlier saying that the royal family had "learned a lesson" from the public reaction to Diana's death. There would be more informality on royal occasions and less attention to protocol(礼仪). People meeting the queen need no longer bow or curtsy, unless they want to.
This is quite a turnaround.
In the days immediately after Diana's death, it seemed the monarchy was tottering(摇动) and might even fall. A grieving public attacked the royal family for their perceived heartlessness in the face of human tragedy. The family was forced to return from holiday in Scotland and join the London crowds.
By angry public demand, the queen, in a symbolic decision, and with obvious reluctance, ordered a flag at half-mast from Buckingham Palace.
Prince Charles, Diana's former husband, was a target of savage(尖锐的) public criticism. He was widely perceived as aloof and uncaring. There was talk of excluding him from the succession and passing the crown to his elder son, Prince William.
One year later, all that appears to have changed.
A late-August opinion poll put public support for Charles at 63 percent, compared with 42 percent at the time of the Paris crash. The queen scored 73 percent. Only 15 percent of those surveyed said Britain would be better off without a monarchy.
What can you infer from the first paragraph?
A.Kensington Palace used to be the residency of Diana.
B.People are sending more flowers to Kensington Palace.
C.People were not interested in Diana's death any more.
D.There was a vast carpet of flowers in front of Kensington Palace.
Who tell the children the stories of Father Christmas?
A.The elder brother.
B.The grandfather.
C.The mother.
