Most parents hope that their children can be happy and successful. But do you know the best way to encourage them to be so? The answer is to allow them to make their own decisions.

Unfortunately, popular culture has different ideas about children’s decision making. Most parents make decisions for their children – what they wear, what they eat and what movies they watch. In fact, it’s not good for children’s growing.

Parents should allow children to make decisions when they are very young. But this doesn’t mean children are allowed to do everything. For example, you shouldn’t take your children into a store and tell them they can have anything they want. They would be overwhelmad(不知所措的) by the choices (選擇). But you can give them a choice among snacks. When children get older, “expand” the number of choices you give them. For example, allow them to decide the activities they want to take part in or when they go to bed.

The next step is to get your children to think before they act. Let them ask themselves several important questions. First, why do I want to do this? Second, what are my choices? Third, what are the results of the actions? After these questions, they are sure to have right decisions.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I told my patents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family was very poor.

On my birthday, my parents showed me my gift. It was a bike, but it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. It was pink, old and worn(磨損的) with age. I was so disappointed(失望)! I thought I hurt my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment on their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it. I didn’t want my parents to see my disappointment. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.

As time went by, I began to understand my parents. They gave me something much more than just an old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs(花費(fèi)) two dollars isn’t any less valuable(貴重的) than the one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
