阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。
It is difficult for nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for (对…负责) homework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent (独立的).
My daughter Carla's fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared (宣布) firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your child's work at home. Don't always scold but give a lot of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he has not done. If your child completes a difficult task, reward him witha Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process (过程) of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or a failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
