浙江省丽水市龙泉市2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试卷
All loving parents want to believe that their child is the smartest in the class. Some will call their child a genius. This is easy to understand. Parents just want to make their child feel confident from a young age. However, calling your child a genius is not the answer. Being a natural genius is not common and many parents mistake real genius. The ability to read or speak a little sooner than other children does not necessarily mean your child is a genius. It probably just means he is a fast learner. To call your child a genius could actually damage his early development.
The word "genius" will put a lot of stress on some children. The stress to____live up to their parent's expectations could feel too big. Such high expectations are more likely to affect their confidence badly. Some other children may become too confident. This can be bad too. The children may start to believe that they are so smart that they do not have to try hard at school. Studies show that it is better for children's development to praise (称赞) their hard work instead of telling them they are geniuses.
Do not give your child all the answers, either. Asking your child lots of questions will help him think. Your child also needs time to find out what he is interested in. Do not push him to become interested in something you feel is important. Finally, have proper conversations with your child. Studies show that this helps with language development.
Whether or not your child is a genius, our advice should help give your child the best possible start in life.
