24、Modern life is full of things that can influence your ability to be sensitive and responsive to your child. These include extra work, lack of sleep, and things like mobile devices. Some experts are concerned about the effects that distracted (分心) parenting may have on emotional bonding and children’s language development, social interaction, and safety.
If parents are inconsistently available, kids can get distressed and feel hurt, rejected, or ignored. They may have more emotional outbursts and feel alone. They may even stop trying to compete for their parent’s attention and start to lose emotional connections to their parents.
“There are times when kids really do need your attention and want your recognition,” explains Crnic, a psychologist. “Parents need to communicate that their kids are valuable and important, and children need to know that parents care what they’re doing,” he says.
It can be tough to respond with sensitivity during tantrums, arguments, or other challenging times with your kids. “If parents respond by being bad-tempered or aggressive themselves, children can copy that behavior, and a negative cycle then continues to upgrade,” explains Dr. Carol Metzler, who studies parenting at the Oregon Research Institute.
According to Crnic, kids start to regulate their own emotions and behavior around age three. Up until then, they depend more on you to help them regulate their emotions, whether to calm them or help get them excited. “They’re watching you to see how you do it and listening to how you talk to them about it,” he explains. “Parents need to be good self-regulators. You’re not only trying to regulate your own emotions in the moment, but helping your child learn to manage their emotions and behavior.”
As kids become better at managing their feelings and behavior, it’s important to help them develop coping skills, like active problem solving. Such skills can help them feel confident in handling what comes their way.
“When parents engage positively with their children, teaching them the behaviors and skills that they need to cope with the world, children learn to follow rules and regulate their own feelings,” Metzler says.

25、On my way home, I saw a poor old man selling soaps. I was moved by his condition—perhaps he was the only one _______ his family? But I soon shook off the _______ —there’s nothing I can really do for him.
Just then, a lady went up and bought every bar of soap he was carrying. The old man’s eyes lit up and he left happily.
The woman, on the other hand, crossed the road and _______ the bag full of soaps on the street with a sign saying “For Free”. Then she boarded the same bus as I did and took the seat next to mine. The curious incident _______ me so I couldn’t help but ask her about the strange act.
“Excuse me, may I ask why you did that near the bus stop?” I said.
“Oh, I walk this road every day and noticed this man many times. I tried to offer him some money but he _______ . He said he wanted to earn it through hard work and not _______ . He’s a very honest man. He was content with whatever he earned for the day. So I bought all his soap bars to help him in a way that _______ his dignity.
