Children model themselves largely on their parents．They do so mainly through identification．Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent．The things parents do and say－and the 3 they do and say to them－therefore strongly influence a child's 4 ．However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 5 they want their child to become．
A parent's actions 6 affect the self-image that a child forms 7 identification．Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way．Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves．Children may 11 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peers groups standards before they reach 13．
Isolated(孤立的)events, 13 dramatic(突然的)ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child's behavior．Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training．Children who know they are loved can, 15 , accept the divorce of their parents' or a parent's early 16 ．But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 17 a sign of rejection or punishment．
In the same way, all children are not influenced 18 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs． 19 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 20 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it．
“It was all his own idea,” says Pat, the wife of California high school football coach Bob．Peters．Bob had, 1 made a motherhood contract(合同)－declaring that for 70 days this summer he would 2 the care of their four children and all the housework． 3 he didn’t even know how to make coffee when he signed, he was very confident．
After 40 of the 70 days, he was ready to 4 ．“I was beaten down,” admits Bob．“Not only is motherhood a 5 task, it is an impossible job for any normal human being．”
Bob and Pat were married in 1991．After the marriage, Pat 6 a secretary to help put him through university． 7 Bob has been the football coach while Pat raised the kids． 8 two years ago Pat went back to work．“I had been 9 children so much,”she 10 ,“I couldn’t talk to a grown-up．”She continued to run the household, 11 until Bob signed the contract．
Bob tried hard to learn cooking, but the meals he prepared were 12 ．For the last three weeks, the family 13 a lot –sometimes having MacDonald's hamburgers for lunch and dinner．
14 housekeeping, a home economics teacher had told Bob that a room always looks clean 15 the bed is made．“I found 16 I shut the doors,” he says．Soon the kids were wearing their shirts inside out．“When we went to 17 Pat at work, I made them wear their shirts 18 side out so they would look clean．”
Now that Bob has publicly 19 he was wrong, he is 20 the child-raising and household tasks with Pat．

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born．One day the child asked God,“They tell me you are going to send me to the 1 tomorrow but how am I going to 2 there being so small and helpless?”God replied．“Among the many 3 , I have chosen one for you．She will be waiting for you and will take care of you．”
“But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do 4 else but sing and smile．That's 5 I need to be happy!”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also 6 for you every day．And you will feel your angel's love and be 7 ．”
“And how am I going to be able to 8 when people talk to me, if I don't know the language they speak?”
“That's easy,”said God．“Your angel will tell you the most beautiful words you will 9 hear, and with much patience and 10 , your angel will teach you how to 11 ．”
“I've heard on the earth there are 12 men．Who will protect me?”
God put his arm 13 the child, saying,“Your angel will 14 you, even if it means 15 her life!”
“But I will always be sad 16 I will not see you any more．”
God hugged the child,“Your angel will 17 talk to you about me．”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be 18 ．The child knew he had to start on his 19 very soon, and he asked God one more question,“Oh God, since I am about to leave now, please tell me my Angel's name!”
God replied,“Your angel's name is not 20 to remember．You will simply call her Mommy!”
