The basic function of money Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It’s important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(收银员)②__________When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.‎ ‎2. Money lessons Approach money lessons with openness and honesty.③__________If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now. ” Or,if the request is for many different things,say. “You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy. ”‎ ‎3.④__________  ‎ Begin at the grocery store. Pick out similar brands of a product—a name-brand butter and a generic(无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money.⑤__________If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved.

Tell your child why he can -or cannot -have certain things. E. Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to you. F.

Here are some tips to help you go to sleep.‎ ‎    •Breathe in through your left nostril(鼻孔)‎ ‎    ①__________Sleep specialist Peter Smith says,“Lie on your left side, resting a finger on your right nostril to close it. Start slow,deep breathing in the left nostril. f, Peter, author of Sleep Better With Natural Therapies,says this technique is particularly good when overhearting is preventing sleep.‎ ‎    •②__________‎ ‎    Relaxing all your muscles can prepare your body for sleep. Anxiety expert Charles Linden says: “Lying on your back, take a deep, slow breath in through your nose and, the same time, squeeze your toes tightly as if you are trying to curl them under your foot, then loosen them slowly. Breathe again, contract your leg muscles, then your thigh, belly, chest, arms, and so on until you hat all the way up your body. ③__________”.‎ ‎    • Try to stay awake ‎    Challenge yourself to stay awake — your mind will fight against it! “It’s called the sleep paradox (俘论).”Says psychotherapist Julie Hirst. She explains:“Keep your eyes wide open, repeat to yourself ‘I will not sleep’. ④__________, but instead viewthis as an instruction to sleep and eye muscles tire quickly as sleep turns up.”‎ ‎    • ⑤__________‎ ‎    Use at least three senses imagining yourself in a situation where you feel content—a paradise(乐园), sailing on calm waters,walking in flower fields.‎ A. Just imagine B. Enjoy a paradise C. Squeeze and relax D The brain doesn’t process negatives well E. You must repeat what you have done F. This yoga method is thought to reduce blood pressure and calm you G. When you have gone from head to toe, you should feel ready for sleep ‎3、What is fear?‎ ‎    Fear is a basic feeling arising when we feel threatened, and can have physical symptoms such as sweaty hands and an increased heart rate. ①__________On the upside:‎ ‎    Fear means growth.‎ ‎    Fear tells us we are moving towards the edge of our comfort zone. We are doing something unfamiliar and learning new skills. This means we are growing, and growth means that once we get over the discomfort,we will be stronger,better and brighter than before! ②__________‎ ‎    Things are never as bad as they seem.‎ ‎    In most cases, the thing we fear is never as bad as we think it will be. When we are trying to make a decision to do something new, we lack the perspective to see further than our familiar range.③__________No. If you look back on some of the scary things youVe experienced in the past, now you will say, “They were not scary at all. ”‎ ‎    We are always stronger than we think!‎ ‎    Fear can teach us so much about our personal power. There is no other feeling like the victory you feel that makes you realize you won. ④__________Who cares? You make the leap! This will build your confidence! Think of your yoga practice. We can stand on our hands, even though we sometimes doubt it. And it will make us realize that we are so strong!‎ ‎    Fear is part of life,and doesn’t need to be eliminated.‎ ‎    ⑤__________ We should welcome it; we can cope with it and proceed in spite of it. The best decisions in life are rarely the easiest ones. Or rather, they may seem easy, but often come with fear. To quit your job is not easy, but if you know it's the right thing to do, you know what you need to do. Following your heart will not come without fear, but it will also come with big rewards.‎ A. Face the feeling of fear bravely.‎ B. Is anything unfamiliar scary?‎ C. Catch every opportunity to be successful.‎ D. We don't need to remove fear from our lives.‎ E. So when you feel fear approaching, say "thank you" to it!‎ F. You succeed, even though not every try is perfect.‎ G. But it can be a useful feeling when it comes to keeping us safe.‎ ‎4、What Teenagers Can Do to Earn More Respect ‎    As teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults,the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on,certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life. ①__________ By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.‎ ‎    Contribute to the household ‎    At the very least,clean up after yourself. As a teenager,you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess,clean it up. ②__________All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that you're old enough and capable, why shouldn't you contribute to the household?③__________‎ ‎    Be responsible ‎    ④__________ Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework, or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you,their trust and respect for you will increase.‎ ‎    Solve more of your own problems without asking for help ‎    Instead of taking the easy approach and asking for help,make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way,,is only easy for you,but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have made an honest effort to solve your own problems. ⑤__________ When you become a good problem solver,you increase your value to the community.‎ A. The people doing the

child’s overall development if he or she has an interest in the fine arts.‎ ‎    ②__________It is well known that they stay out of trouble as teenagers and young adults if they have music as a serious interest.The concentration helps them with their grades.Their learning and communication skills are better than those of their peer group.They also develop lots of confidence and self-esteem.‎ ‎    Another advantage of your child learning music becomes obvious only at a later stage. ③__________It can be very beneficial and many top musicians had a very early exposure to music and credit this with their later successes.‎ ‎    You can start when your child is only a baby, by exposing him or her to a wide range of music at home. ④__________And you could sustain (维持) your child’s interest by having the both of you singing together.‎ ‎    Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age.This is great if the child is having a good time.It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons.You can be sure that nothing productive will come out of it. ⑤__________.‎ ‎    If you start your child on music lesson by the age of 5,
