Moms take care of their children life and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it’s common among all cultures. But times change and parents’ roles seem to be changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full-time jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.
Chinese TV show Where Are We Going, Dad ? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures（冒险经历）of five celebrity（明星）dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.
Psychologists（心理学家）say that a strong fatherly influence is important in a child’s development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong, he or she can depend on dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.
A mother’s love is important, and so is a father’s love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says,“It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”

A Christmas Day is the most important festival in Britain and some other countries. On Christmas Eve
(December 24th), people usually tell their children to put their stockings* at the end of their beds before
they go to sleep.
Children believe Father Christmas will bring them Christmas presents. Actually, Father Christmas is
children’s father. He dresses up in a red coat and waits until children fall asleep. Then he goes into
children’s bedrooms, and puts small presents in their stockings. When childrenre no longer young, they
know who Father Christmas really is.
Not only children but also their parents enjoy Christmas stockings. They also have stockings. Early
on the morning of Christmas Day, children wake their parents up say “Merry* Christmas”. Then they
help their parents open their stockings. Everybody likes presents. But it is better to give than to receive.
In France, everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons* and
white candles*. Trees in the garden are often decorated too, with lights on all night. Father Christmas is
called Pere Noel in France. The Christmas meal is an important chance for family to get together with
good meat and the best wine. Not everyone sends Christmas cards.
In Germany, people love to decorate their houses with some beautiful small things at Christmas.
Father Christmas brings presents in the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, after people have been to a
church meeting. The presents are then found under the Christmas tree. One person in the family will
ring a bell and call everyone to come to the room. On Christmas Day, some delicious food will be
