BBC环球慢速英语 第178期:听众来信(7)

voice 1: Correcting a child’s behaviour is very important. But sometimes, when a child does not behave, a parent may become angry. The parent may then react out of anger. This can lead to hitting a child because of this anger. Experts say that parents should NEVER hit a child out of anger.
声音1：纠正孩子的行为非常重要。但是有时，当孩子行为不当时，家长可能会很生气。家长可能会作出由愤怒激发出的反应。这种愤怒可能演变为打孩子。专家表示，父母绝不能因为愤怒而打孩子。

voice 2: Experts say that it is important for parents to be firm, but kind. They should not threaten their children. And if a parent is too angry to deal with a problem, he can even tell the child: "I am too angry to deal with this right now. We will talk about it later." This can help a parent to calm down. He can take time to think of a fitting punishment. Using methods like these teaches children that they do not need to use violence to solve their problems. Instead, they can stay calm and think about a better way to solve the problem.
声音2：专家表示，对父母来说重要的是，保持坚定的同时还要宽容。他们不应该威胁孩子。如果家长过于生气而无法解决问题，他可以跟孩子说：“我太生气了，所以现在不能解决这件事。我们一会儿再谈。”这有助于家长冷静下来。他可以花点时间考虑一下适当的处罚方式。这种方法让孩子知道，他们不必用暴力解决问题。相反，他们可以保持冷静，考虑解决问题的更好方法。
