We’re raising children!

A famous research scientist was being interviewed why he was so much more creative.

1. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his balance and it fell, spilling its contents all the kitchen floor—a veritable sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, she said , “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk.2.Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, he did. After several minutes, his mother said,“You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.  3. We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. 4. 

This scientist remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. 5.  

Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?

E.    So, how would you like to do that?

F.    Such an opportunity of experiencing was delightful to him.

G.   He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two years old.

 Here is my classmate _____ bicycle was lost yesterday.

Our Fears Can Change the Reality of the Situation

At times, our worries and anxieties can defeat us. In addition, our worried can change our understanding of what is reality and what is not. Here is a brief list of techniques that you can use to help gain a better viewpoint on things during your anxious moments.

  1  A person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off the problem. A person could get some fresh air, listen to some music, or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

Remember that our fearful thoughts are made to seem worse and can make the problem worse.  2  When unexpectedly having thoughts that make you fearful or anxious, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and common sense.

Be smart in how you deal with your fears and anxieties. Do not try to deal with everything all at once. When facing a current or upcoming task that makes you anxious, break the task into a series of smaller steps.  3 

Remember that all the worrying in the world will not change anything. Most of what we worry about never comes true.   4  Everything else you can leave in the hands of God.

It is not easy to deal with all of our fears and worries. When your fears and anxieties have the best of you, try to calm down and then get the facts of the situation. The key is to take it show. All you can do is do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it easy.  5 

A．Take it one step at a time and things will work out.

B．When feeling anxious, stop what you are doing and try to do something relaxing.

C．This will give you the confidence to manage your anxiety.

D．Instead of worrying about something that probably won’t happen, concentrate on what

you are able to do.

E．The next time you feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things that

you have in your life.

F．A good way to manage your worry is to challenge your negative thinking with positive

statements and realistic thinking.

G．Completing these smaller tasks one at a time will make the stress more manageable and

increases your chances of success.

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.　　

1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.　　

2). Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 　　

3). Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.　　

4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.　　

5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.　

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
