Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thing.If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit(因纽特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Dont shout or yell at small children.Inuits no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents buttons.Playful“storytelling”is another trick to sculpting kidsbehavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents“retell” what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(发脾气)by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well: putting on a“drama”. After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: “Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?”Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful tone. For example: “Does that seem right?”or“Are you a baby?”She is getting across the idea that“big boys”wont throw a tantrum. Kidsbrains are still developing the circuitry needed for self-contro1. What you do in response to your childrens emotions shapes their brains
