　　Dear Editor(編輯),

　　After I finish my homework, I often go online and chat with my friends．Sometimes I play Internet games．But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer．Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and Internet games harm(傷害)children．Once I went to a net bar(網(wǎng)吧)to play games after school．But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school．I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy．I feel bad about it．However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time．I really want my parents to understand that．Do foreign parents do the same to their children?Please help me．

　　Li Ping, Nantong

　　Dear Li Ping,

　　I think it’s not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad．Foreign parents will do the same as your parents!They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time, or like your parents, they don’t want their children to play computer games．

　　Talk to your parents and be honest(誠實)to them, I think．Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you．It’s never good to do things behind your parents’ backs．They aren’t fools as you think sometimes!Our parents seem to know what is the best for us．Remember：to be honest is the best way．

Good luck,

Rebecca

　　When she turned ten, my daughter decided I was no longer good enough to provide input on anything useful．Then, in high school she took a parenting class．

　　“Mum, I need your idea,” she told me．“What are the skills you need to be a good parent?” she asked, pencil pointed over her homework．

　　Skills? I’d always thought of parenting as requiring patience, understanding and kindness．And I was pretty sure those were characteristics(性格), not skills．

　　“Hang on, I know this one,” I told her, thinking fast．Looking at the wall calendar(日歷), I noted that my next seven days included two appointments(約會), 20 minutes each, three forms to hand in at two different schools and a cover for the pool to pick up．“Organizational(組織的)skills,” I answered．“It also helps if you can drive－and have the ability to be in two places at once．”

　　“Got it,” she said．“What else?”

　　I thought about the school year：school fees(學(xué)費(fèi)), class pictures, running shoes．Not to mention weekly shopping－the bill for which was growing as fast as the kids．

　　“Financial(理財?shù)?skills,”I said．“You’ll have to plan your money－especially if you end up with two birthdays in one pay period．You must be good at math, too．”

　　“Money and math make sense,”she said．“Anything more?”

　　“You also need a good memory,”I continued．“At any given time, you may remember birthdays, names of people and who likes apples or who can’t stand grape juice．”

　　I talked and talked．My daughter’s pencil moved quickly as she tried to keep up with what I was saying．Her homework finally finished．My daughter told me about a new parenting-skill project(項目)．“We’re getting dolls programmed to cry from time to time．We have to keep them with us all the time and take care of them．It’s to show us how hard it is to be a parent．”

　　I thought if students would come up with a doll that throws things around and shouts at the top of its voice, that might give them an idea of the patience, understanding and kindness that parenting requires．
