Unit 4 Body language一、閱讀理解。How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and good nutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time for your kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in the same room with you, make yourself available. Even as kids get older, quality time is important. Its really hard for some people to e home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their dayespecially if theyve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they re important to you. Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can e up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal. You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctors appointment is ing up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably wont need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress. Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that its OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too. When kids cant or wont discuss these problems, try talking about your own concerns. This shows that youre willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when theyre ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顧問)or other mental health experts. Most parents have the skills to cope with their childrens stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist, when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home. 【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文, 講述的是如何幫助孩子處理壓力的事情。1.
