Children start out a natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them．Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment．You only have to share your children’s curiosity．Firstly, listen to their questions．I once visited a seven-year-old classroom to talk about science as a job．The children asked me “textbook questions”about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job．When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence．Finally I said, “Now that we’ve finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache．Why? ”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours．
Secondly, give them time to think．Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think．When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers．
Thirdly, watch your language．Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”．These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior．But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over．Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas．
Never push a child to “think”．It doesn’t make sense．Children are always thinking, without your telling them to．What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance．The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement．
Lastly, show：don’t tell．Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or television program．Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner．Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop．

The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help．I pick it up and 1 the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber．” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen．Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own 2 and help others．
“My mom is always fighting with me．I want to run away．” Some teens feel their 3 is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety．They feel parents are only there to make their lives 4 ．We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in 5 giving them advice．All we can do is to ask questions．We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive．We give them a phone number if they 6 don’t want to live in their “prison”．
“I don’t want to 7 any more” is something we hear, and suicide(自杀)calls are some of the hardest to 8 ．We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten．One means they are 9 suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a 10 ．We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves．And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers 11 we can call back to make sure that they are okay．
Although many calls are about relatively 12 problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the 13 person with problems, and has taught me how to 14 with my heart．I have made a 15 and saved many lives－possibly even my own, too．
