I don’t know if I am missing the greatest pleasure of my life. I am no fan of computer games. Some guys forget themselves and forget day and night when they play games .For example, a colleague has been playing since 1 o’clock this morning and now it is 7 o’clock. He is still commanding his army of little people to attack strange-looking animals. Some games could be fun, 1 admit, and it is therefore understandable that such a game catches players. For example, games like Red Storm or some role-play games, you do something and try to outwit(智胜) your computer. You get some fun out of these games. It is understandable that such a game pushes you into a pitfall(陷阱) of pleasures. But some games look quite stupid and simple. Again for example, my colleague has been interested in Stone Age, a cartoon-like game rooted in prehistoric time. The game is well made, full of strange people and animals and you can play on line with partners. You can have reference books to study so as to shortcut your rivals(对手) and increase your own conquering power.
I believe some kinds of games are really created for adults. But seeing these adults play the simple games with such interest, I just wonder if there is something wrong with me and if I am losing the greatest possible fun of my life. I ask why I don' t bother playing such games and why I seem to have some aversion to such games. I have no answers. Certainly computer games is no my idea of a good time. I would rather listen to some music or read a book. Take music for example. Good music tops my list of pleasures. Nothing could beat music, all in a harmony of sounds and emotions. But how about games? Why am I so strongly biased(偏见) against such games?

When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of “old” toys goes into the cupboard.

Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner, but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh” to play with.

“Mummy, I don’t know what to play with.” Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. “You’ve got a room full of toys!” his mother says, impatiently. In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve’s lack of interest in his dolls, cars and stuffed（packed）animals. Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother’s desk or following her into the kitchen saying: “Mummy, I am bored.”

Parents often say,"I don't understand why my child is acting this way.We've given him everything in
the world,and he just wants more.He's never happy.He doesn't enjoy what he has."
For some reason,we often feel that if we give our child everything he wants to keep him happy,he
should behave the way we want him to.An important part of meeting children's emotional(情感的)needs
is to set limits often and firmly in a loveing way.Pardnts who learn to set limits in a loving way set them
more often because they don't have to wait until they've "had it up to here" to do so.
A therapeutic(治疗的)way of setting limits is called ACT:Acknowledge the feeling,communicate the
limit,and target the choice.Necessarily,you're saying to the child,"I understand how you feel.It's OK to
feel that way,but you can't act that way when you feel like that.You can act this way when you feel like
that." It's also important to communicate this message in a loving way,not an angry way.
Using ACT limitsetting teaches children to cope with their emotions and to find appropriate behavioral
expressions that don't hurt the children themselves.It can also be used to teach children to delay
gratification(满意)．Here are some examples of how it works.If your child wants a toy when you're at
the store and you don't want to buy it,you can say,(A)"You love that toy and want it right now,(C)but
we're not spending any money on toys today.(T)You can put it on your wish list for birthday or Christmas."
Using this technique,you'll learn to set reasonable limits that work.If you set limits too severely,you're
also more likely to give in,because you feel guilty.If you don't follow through with a consequence or you
make one that's too severe,you teach your child not to trust you.
