Bringing Up Children
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the
child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for
example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train
up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of
children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual

stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world
around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to
conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important
element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before
the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new
skif: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is
often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous
feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be
forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows
the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or
without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new
things for himself.
Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By playing
together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys
and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this cooperation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some
may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night,
punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs
of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and wellbeing.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very
important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for
morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are hypocritical
and do not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure
when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent,
deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked diference between their parents' ethics and their morals
can be a dangerous disillusion.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care.
View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living.
Investing the time and efort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the diference between
finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to
find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to
where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes,
hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you

like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative
work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine
which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept.
Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day.
If not, there is diversity of occupation- building inspector, supervisor, and real estate agent- that
involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and
employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found
only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hostels, law education, and retail
sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career
by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, ofers relatively low starting salaries;
however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and
commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or
negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a
plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have
merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without
sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors.
Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills
that may point the way to new opportunities. The choices you make today need not be your final
one.
