Is TOEFL Should Be Used?
Everyone knows that TOEFL is the most important thing for every family; moreover, we all know that we need many ways to bring up the children such as we need patient, or we need an enthusiastic heart to bring up a child. However, what in the earth is the best way to bring up the children well is an important topic for every family. Actually, due to the fact that parent always busy on their jobs and children are spent a lot of time on school; furthermore, children and parent usually have ‘’general gap’’. Therefore, some experts state that parenting class plays an important way for parent. According to Claire (2005), she states that parenting class can help you about how to raise children well and it would be welcome to offer some information and advice that how to be a positive parent.
Firstly, because some of parents always work all day long and children spent most of their time on school as well; therefore, not only will children become apathetic to their parent, but their parents will unconcerned to their children’s education and homework as well. For example, children usually spent 8 hours on school from 8 am to 5 pm, and parents also spent 8~10 hours on their jobs from 10 am to 8 pm, moreover, they will spent 10 hours from 11 pm to 7 am on sleeping at night time. Therefore, parents only have 3~4 hours to get along with their children. On the other hand, due to the fact that parents only have three hours to deal with their children, parents will became unconfident on raising children. For instance, a large number of parents will have no time to concern their children’s homework; moreover, they also have no energy to listen their children’s story after they get off duty. Because they have no any information about their children, they will become unconfident to their children gradually. Consequently, attending parenting class is the best way to get information about school and education; besides, you also can learn how to handle your children at your home.
Moreover, because many parents have no any experience about how to bring up children until they have children; therefore, parents have no idea about the expectation at each age such as children should learn walking by their foot before they are one years old; in addition, children should learn being independent before they are eighteen years old. Therefore, parents should attend parenting class do get the information about the expectation at each age. On the other hand, because parents will not deal with children or educate children until they have children; hence, parent always cannot image what their children’s world is or they cannot understand what their children think about. For instance, most of children will ask their parents a lot of question because children always are very curious about everything, but then their parents usually do not have patient to answer the question because their parents do not try to understand their children’s world. In fact, this problem will cause many negative influences in their children’s life. However, this serious problem can be solved if parent admit that they cannot understand their children’s everything and they try to get more closely to their children, and attend parenting class.
Finally, because almost every parents are 20 years older then their children; thus, the relationship between parent and children will exist the problem of ‘’generation gap’’. This is really important problem for every child and his parent. In fact, we all know that children will be very traitorous when they are 14~16 years old, but parents usually do not know how to handle their behavior because of generation gap. For example, parents and children’s interest are not the same because of the difference between their age, after that, children we not like talk to their parents anymore especially in children’s traitorous period. What’s more, parents also cannot bear their children’s traitorous period, then the relationship between them has just exist altercation but not communication. Another problem, because of the generation gap, parents always do not know how to discipline their children and how to manage the stress and anger themselves. For instance, parents always like to compare their children to other’s children and give children too much stress; thus, as long as their children cannot have good grad, their parents will discipline their own children emotionally. Therefore, parents can learn the skill that how to make family much happier if they attend parenting class.
However, some parents do not agree with the statement that they should go to parenting class because they will be ashamed of attending parenting class, and they also think that love is come from nature and they do not need to go to parenting class to learn how to love their children. Actually, in spite the fact that love comes naturally, we still have to learn that how to let our children feel the love of ours. For instance, most of parents use opposite way such as punishment or pandy to show that they love their children. Actually, parents should learn how to use positive way to bring up their children, but what is positive parenting? According to Claire’s article, ‘’ Positive parenting means using warmth, respect, consistency, good communication and empathy in the way you behave with your children. ’’ (2005, par 3 ) Therefore, using positive way to love their children will be the best way if parents are willing to attend parenting class.
In conclusion, because children and their parents only have few time to get along with each other; thus, children will feel apathetic to their parents, and parents will become unconcerned on children’s homework. In addition, because parents have no experience on educating and teaching; therefore, to know what their children is an important thing that parents should face it. Finally, because of generation gap that parents do not know how to handle their behavior or how to manage stress and anger; additionally, parents should attend parenting class to deal with their children especially on their children’s traitorous period. Therefore, parenting class should be common in the future, and it can be believed that if parents attend parenting class, their family will be much happier.
