Some children are natural born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine," says his mother. "The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones."
"Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.
Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behaviour, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe". It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.
When a "boss child" doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly-willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.
"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behaviour for more than 30 years. "They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. What should parents of bossy children do with regard to the children’s behaviour?
24. What do we learn about bossy children from the passage?
25. What is the passage mainly about?
选项
A、They may probably become lonely.
B、They may probably become skilful.
C、They may probably become relaxed.
D、They may probably become hesitant.
答案
A
解析
短文中提到占有欲强和性格执拗的孩子很难遵守老师的教导,很难与人交朋友,由此导致这类儿童会很孤独(It can be pretty lonely),故答案为A)。
