Till now, I found I am a little old, one easy short text, took me 3 days to recite it: so give the complete one as below:
Three types of parentsComplete lesson 3)
It's universally ture that all parents in the wolrd love their children, however as parents' views of life vary, they show their loves in different ways, generally speaking, parents can classified into three types: the monarch type, the servant type, and the friend type according to the different ways of showing their love for the children.
The monarch type of parents are intolerant, autocratic and self centered, they lay down regulations in the family for their children to observe. Furthermore,they insist that their children should act upon them without question, when their authority is challenged, they become infuriated. with a firm belief in their own philosophy of life, they have little respect for others' opinions, least of all, their children's. The sentence they say most frequently to their children is " You should do this."
On the contrary to the monarch type parents, the servant type parents revolve around their children all the time. They are soft, good natured and easy-going, they never deny their children's any wish and cheerfully run to buy everything their children ask for, they are happy so long as their children are content. With the sincere belief that love means sacrifice, they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives, they always ask" what else can we do for you ?"
They friend type parents, as the term implies, treat their children as their friends. They are generous and wise. Like good friends, they discuss with their children the latest news, share their children's interests, and listen attentively to their children's expression of emotion, whether it's anger, fear, joy or sorrow. They have an intimate relationship with their children while adhering their principled stand. They discuss problems with their children rather than provide ready solutions,they respect their children as their equals. they often say: " Let's put our heads together and see what we can do?"
There is no doubt that children welcome the third type of parents for a free, friendly and sympathetic atmosphere is most favorable at home to the development for the youngsters both in body and in mind, All parents should re-examine and change some of their ways of showing their love if they want their children to grow up happily and healthily. |
