Mothers who angrily tell off their children when they step out of line may be making behavior problems worse,according to a study. The study by the London School of Economics (LSE) found that too much shouting and giving severe punishments were producing an opposite result. Ignoring naughty children also appeared ter lead to a decrease in discipHne standards.
Researchers said that “reasoning with children” was more likely to have a positive zVwpacr (影响) on their behavior at a young age. But the study warned that it Was difficult to determine a direct link between one parenting style and its outcomes because of the effect of other causes.
The latest study was based on an analysis of almost 19,000 children. Data was collected from parents just before their children's first birthdays,and then when iey turned three,five and seven. The study,led by Dr Laure De Preux,assessed the impact of various parenting styles on children.
Researchers said, “Particularly excessive (过度的) shouting,punishing or ignoring a naughty child increases his behavior problems,and only reasoning doesn't negatively impact the child's behavior.”
But the study also showed that a large number of other things such as economic conditions also impacted on children's development. The result suggested that wealthier families were able to create a whole environment that clearly benefited the child beyond simple effect of parenting. It said children in poor households in particular were affected by their mother^s parenting styles.
“In this group,behavior problems are reduced when mothers read to the naughty children,and increased when mothers shout at them,take treats away,or ignore them,” it said.
It is the latest in a line'of recent studies to assess the link between parenting and children's behavior.
Two years ago,a report commissioned by the Department for Education found that severe and inconsistent discipline in the home was bringing up a generation of youfng children with anger management problems,poor attention and low levels of learning ability.

This is the salamander (蝾螈) capital of the world; the Great Smoky Mountains National Park harbors 30 species,giving it the planet's most diverse population. “Catching” salamanders in the park is illegal.So the only sgfe way for kids to hunt for,capture,examine,and then return salamanders to their habitat unharmed is through the Slimy Salamanders program — one of the many junior rawgers (园林管理员) and Smoky Mountain Field School opportunities available to kids in the park.
“Studying salamanders helps us understand more about the health of the whole park ,” says ranger Emily Guss,who designed the park* s Slimy Salamanders program. “And from there we can start a discussion with kids about climate change." Kids participating in the program collect important data — identifying species and size 一 that help monitor salamanders’ behavior.
For the program,kids gather at the Sugarlands Visitor Center,just inside the park's main Tennessee entrance near Gatlinburg. “Why are you guys here today?” Guss asks.
Kids scream as one: aSalamanders!
Guss says, "Yes,but you* re also going to be scientists. So let me see your best scientists’ manners." She presses her lips together and puts her forefinger to them,tips her head slightly,gets a quizzical look on her face,and says, “Hmm." The kids imitate her every action.
She takes kids to a special secret salamander spot. “Salamanders are amphibians,” Guss explains. “You must handle them gently because their tails can break off. It takes two years to regrow. Sometimes it's a completely different color."
“A salamander stores fat in his tail,which is his source of energy,” continues Guss. “If a salamander loses his tail,he will lose his energy. That will make it easier for a raccoon 一 a small North American anirhal — to catch and eat him."
Kids spread out to seaYch for salamanders. They are serious scientists and understand their roles as protectors,stepping carefully,looking down,and helping each other guide swimming salamanders through the water into the bags.
“Animals always leave clues,but kids rarely look for jthem ,” says ranger Nola Isobe. “If you are observant and know what to look for,you’ 11 see all kinds of amazing things here."
5. What is the purpose of the Slimy Salamanders program?
A. To raise money for salamanders.
B. Tp stop illegal salamander hunting.
C. To lead children study salamanders.
D. To find more salamanders for the park.
