If your child only picks at his food, he can be trained to be a good eater.
That will happen only when you've changed some of your own habits. Your child only accidentally discovered that being a bad eater meant getting lots of rewards from you. But you, as a parent, can easily undo your child's bad eating habits.
I recall the case of little Sally Sanders, aged three-and-a-half, who was angrily described by her mother as being, "the worst eater I've ever seen in my life! I can't get her to eat anything. I'm afraid she's going to grow up sick and weak, that's how little she eats."
"What do you do when she won't eat her food?" I asked.
Her voice showing a very high state of pique, Mrs. Sanders continued resentfully, "Every time we have a meal, I wind up having a big fight with Sally. I scream and shout a lot at her. She makes me so mad when she won't eat her food. I warn her she needs a good, well-balanced meal to grow up healthy. She's just a stubborn child who won't eat her food. I'm afraid she'll get a bad vitamin deficiency for not eating all the good food I cook for her."
I took a thorough case history. I went into much detail about the family's habits, their routines, their way of getting on together. Sally, I was told, had always been a bad eater. Mother and father agreed that Sally became worse in her eating habits soon after Elizabeth, her nine-month-old baby sister, was born. "It only makes Sally very angry when I tell her what a wonderful little eater Elizabeth is. Elizabeth is such a wonderful eater I never have any problems with her. Why can't Sally be like Elizabeth?"
"Instead of making mealtime an occasion for pleasure, you've made it into a battle of wills, a struggle for power between you and little Sally", I explained.
Meals should be a sort of treat, not a nutritional treatment for your child. For Now, stop being an amateur nutritionist. Give her the sort of food she really enjoys. And give her only very small portions. Don't scold if she doesn't eat everything on her plate. If she's eaten everything and wants more, give her only tiny additional portions. Never insist that she eat everything on her plate. Remain, to the best of your ability calm, unconcerned and indifferent to her habit of slowly picking away at her food. Instead, enjoy your own food, and pay no attention to Sally. Then, after about, say, 30 minutes, very calmly pick up all the plates and other crockery from the table. Mealtime is over. Maybe your child will complain that she hasn't finished yet. Pay her no heed. But do say, for example, "That's the way it's got to be. We can't stay at the table too long eating. Sorry, if you're still hungry, you'll just have to wait until lunch time, (or whatever the next meal is)."

听力原文:W: Dr. Jolly, I like to know the purpose of today's discussion?
M: I want the parents to know a great deal about bringing up children.
W: How will this be achieved? By encouraging parents to watch their children and how they respond day by day?
M: So often a mother is liable to feel "He's playing quietly on his own. I can get on with my work," and so she's not with her child. The result is that the child very quickly becomes bored, playing on his own. Mothers need to know that, although they shouldn't necessarily be doing anything, they need to be with their child because this encourages him whether he's painting or whether he's making things or whatever it may be. If a mother is, say, working in the kitchen, her child wants her and just quietly calls to Mummy, but she doesn't respond until he shouts. So in effect, she's said to him "Unless you shout at me, I won't come." And then she comes to me and says "I've got a child who's always shouting." You find that in effect she's trained him to shout.
What's the topic of the discussion?
A.Bringing up children.
B.Helping children with their problems.
C.Training children to be calm.
D.Training children to speak up.

Some couples choose not to learn the sex of their baby before he or she is born because the moment people hear "boy" or "girl" they begin to make assumptions (设想) about a child. One couple in Sweden decided to take that logic a few steps further, and are refusing to tell anyone whether their child is a boy or a girl. The child–called Pop, to protect his or her identity–is now two years old, and only a few close relatives know the sex. “We want Pop to grow up more freely, Pop’s mother said. Pop wears dresses, and also “male” styled pants and Pop’s hairstyle. changes often. Nordenstrom, who studies hormonal (荷尔蒙) influences on gender, says, “It will affect the child, but it’s hard to say if it will hurt the development. I don’t know what they are trying to achieve. It’s going to make the child different.” She says if Pop is still “genderless(无性的)by the time he or she starts school, Pop will certainly receive a lot of attention from classmates.“We don’t know exactly what determines sexual identity, but it’s not only sexual education,” says Nordenstrom.“Gender-typical behavior, sexual preferences and sexual identity usually go together. There are hormonal and other influences that we don’t know that will determine the gender of the child.” Pop will soon welcome a brother, or a sister. Pop’s parents will not reveal sex of that child, either, except, perhaps, to Pop.
