It's natural for all kids to worry at times, and because of personality differences, some may worry more than others. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} They typically worry about things like grades, tests, their changing bodies, fitting in with friends, the goal they missed at the soccer game, or whether they'll be bullied (欺负), or left out. Luckily, parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems.

    To help your kids manage what's worrying them:

    Find out what's on their minds.

    Be available and take an interest in what's happening at school, on the team, and with your kids' friends. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} As you listen to stories of the day's events, be sure to ask about what your kids think and feel about what happened. Sometimes just sharing the story with you can help lighten their load.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Being interested in your child's concerns shows they're important to you, too, and helps kids feel supported and understood. Reassuring (令人安心的) comments can help—but usually only after you've heard your child out. Say that you understand your child's feelings and the problem.

    Guide kids to solutions.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} When your child tells you about a problem, offer to help come up with a solution together. If your son is worried about an upcoming math test, for example, offering to help him study will lessen his concern about it.

    Offer reassurance and comfort.

    Sometimes when kids are worried, what they need most is a parent's concern and comfort. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} It helps kids to know that, whatever happens, parents will be there with love and support.

    We know that choosing a college major can be very hard. But have no fear! Your choice of major will not lock you into a specific career for the rest of your life. Here's what you need to know about college majors before you commit.

    What is a major?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Beyond general college requirements, you'll also take a group of courses in a subject of your choosing such as Chemistry, Literature, or Political Science.

    How important is my major?

    The major you choose will neither predict nor guarantee your future. Many graduates find jobs that have nothing to do with what they studied in college. If you intend to earn a professional degree after college, you will probably need certain courses. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    When do I declare a major?

    This varies widely across schools and programs. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Others require that you declare upon a major by the time that you set foot inside your first class.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Definitely. One of the most exciting aspects of college life is that it introduces you to new subjects and arouses new passions. However, keep this in mind. Every major has necessary coursework. If you change your major late in the game, it may take more than the traditional four years to earn a degree.

    What are minors and double majors?

    If one field of study doesn't satisfy your intellectual appetite, consider a minor. A minor is similar to a major in that it's an area of academic concentration. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}A double major provides you with an understanding of two academic fields. It allows you to become familiar with two sets of values and views while it also requires you to fulfill two sets of requirements.

A. Can I change my mind?

B. Is my major time-consuming?

C. It's your specialized area of study in college.

D. Most students find one major is more than enough.

E. Some schools may give you one year or more to decide.

F. But many future doctors major in non-science related fields.

G. The only difference is that it doesn't require as many classes.
