今天 沒讓Katy去上學 因為緊張的媽媽 整個早上都瞎忙 很多事情都很緊張 連早餐都不作了 要求爸爸帶我們去IHOP吃早餐 果然 媽媽吃完後 連中餐都不用吃 飽到下午~ 下午1點鐘的公民考試 在媽媽的要求下 爸爸12點左右送媽媽抵達 12:30 媽媽正式簽到後 從報到大廳上二樓的等候室等待 小小的等候室 密密麻麻的坐滿了人 空氣不太好 卻也沒辦法 因為這個時間很尷尬 是午餐時間 坐下沒多久 媽媽就被監考官通知: 我要去吃午餐 你要到外面還是在這等候? 媽媽回答:我會在此等候∼ 一個鐘頭後 監考官回來第一個叫的人就是我 坐下前必須宣誓所有回答的答案都屬實 一坐下 監考官馬上念一大長串的文件 要媽媽所有東西都要拿出來 媽媽拿出所有文件的原本資料 監考官要求要所有的拷貝文件 啊∼∼∼有些沒有 (媽媽心想 這下慘了) 果然 所有文件被退回 監考官要求媽媽回家從新準備 再回去一次 6月2日星期一上午7點 不過媽媽通過了考試 10個問題 答對了9題 其中一題因為監考官的西班牙腔調很重 媽媽沒能聽清楚 所以沒有回答好 另外書寫部分 有三題 還有一段文字要唸出來 都通過了! 謝謝大家的關心 鼓勵和禱告 目前還不能和今天考過的人一起同批宣誓 就如爸爸說的: 最緊張最困難的部分以經過了∼ 沒錯 就是這樣囉!

Parenting Tips The Power of Patience For parents, patience is more than a virtue; it's an obsolute necessity. But not every parent has enough patience and almost every parent runs out of it at some point. Remaining calm and steadfast even in the face of opposition (a defiant child), difficulty (dinner is burned) or adversity (your mate is working late again), is not always easy to do. Patience helps effective parents deal calmly and rationally with day-to-day problems and annoyances-to stay focused on the "bigger picture" and not get bogged dowm by daily hassles. Patience helps them maintain emotional stability even in the time of crisis. It's possible to develop or increase patience as patience is both attitude and ability, and parents can work to change both. Attitudes have a tremendous effect on how you deal with everyday experiences and attitudes can become self-fufilling prophecies. If you believe that you have no patience and are inadequate as a parent, you are more likely to continue patterns that incerease your frustration and decreases your effectiveness. Your self confidence will suffer, undermining your ability to find successful solutions to problems. Your attitudes about your children also affect your parenting style. If you believe that your kids are spoiled, that they misbehave on purpose and that they are "out to get you", you will have little patience with them. On the other hand, if you beleve they will make mistakes as they grow and learn, you will take more time to help them learn from their mistakes. Parents should take the long-term view --- eventually, young children learn to use the toilet and teens become adults - even though you feel you may never survuve toilet training or adolescene. Your goal is to help your child through the stages of life. The patient parent considers "the big picture" rather than get caught up in the minutia of life. What's more important-how a teen cuts her hair or dressese or that she doesn't drink or take drugs? Skills that can help you maintain your patience include taking care of your own personal and emotional needs. Sufficient sleep and regular exercise are vital, as is taking a neutral approach and not responding impulsiverly or instinctually. Allow time to calm down, counting to ten, using deep breathing and other quieting or relazation techniques. Use effective problem-solving methods: understand all aspects of the problem and think of as many solutions as possible. Patient parenting takes time. Plan ahead and manage time well. Allow enough time to get things done without feeling rushed or under pressure. Allow time for unexpected difficulties like sick, cranky children. Parents who discover the power of patience can find peace of mind and serenity as a parent. They accept that struggle and difficulty are part of everyday life and that a patient, optimistic approach will help them move forward more quickly than complaining, anngry words and lingering resentment. 資料取得:Connetquot Public Library JJ 今天上課時的資料之一 資料來源:Cornell Cooperative Extension 資料打字:Mommy Luisa
