Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To   36   this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s   37   to share with others – a lesson I needed to   38   myself as well, as it   39  .

One evening Danac had   40  a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favorite was a children’s   41   game called Go Fish. That evening,   42   Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, “Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.”

She help up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to   43   that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our   44   wouldn’t be complete. “But I really want her to have them!” Danae   45  . I thought perhaps she didn’t understand that when she gave something away, it was gone   46  . So I tried again, saying, “  47   you give the cards to her, you can’t   48  them back tomorrow.”

A look of   49   came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to   50  . But then she smiled and said. “Well, that’s okay, I want her to have them anyway.”

    What could I say to that? I sat   51   for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to   52   her to share. Did it   53   that our Go Fish set would be   54  ? What mattered was that my daughter was learning the   55   of giving, that she was thinking about others instead of herself, and that she was trying to make her friends happy. Isn’t that what life is all about?

When it comes to President Obama, most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha, however, has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House, as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children:

The girls must write reports about what they’ve seen on their trips, even if it’s not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends, and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports: one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables, and if they say they are not hungry, they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some, Michelle said, “They’re not little princess. It’s just basic rules, boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules:

The girls must do their chores(家务), though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it’s about learning how to play on a team, how to lose and how to win gracefully.

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
