His work in no way reflected his 3 .So when Simons mother entered the room, my palms(手掌心) were sweating. I was completely 4 for her lisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you,” she said, surprising me beyond speech. 5 me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he 6 me, he had began to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 7 spent an afternoon at a friends house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 8 I had nurtured(培养) in her son. She kissed me again and left.I sat, stunned (惊呆), for about half an hour, 9 what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without 10 knowing it? What I finally came to 11 was one day, several months before, when some students were 12 reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke 13 , and to encourage her to raise her voice, L had sai, “Speak up.

Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a childs social skills, psychologists at the University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion of a study investigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood.Initially 184 13-year-olds filled out multiple surveys, including one to assess how often their parents employed psychologically controlling strategies, such as inducing guilt or threatening to withdraw affection. The kids rated, for example, how typical it would be for Dad to suggest that “if I really cared for him, I would not do things that caused him to worry”or for Mom to become “less friendly when I did not see things her way. ”The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21, asking the young adults to bring along a close friend and, later, a romantic partner if they had one. These pairs were asked to answer hypothetical (假设的) questions that were purposefully written to inspire a difference of opinion. “We wanted to see whether they could navigate a disagreement in a healthy way, ” says study leader Barbara Oudekerk, now at the U.

They had difficulty stating their opinions in a confident, reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents. And when they did speak up, they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways.The researchers suspect that pushy parents ruin their childs ability to learn how to argue his or her own viewpoint in other relationships. Although parents do need to set boundaries, domineering strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the
