BRINGING UP CHILDREN
Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible - for example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child clinics.
The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. By playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being.
With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that“Example is better than precept”. If they are hypocritical and do not practice what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.

Đáp án C
Thông tin: Also, parents should realize that“Example is better than precept”. If they are hypocritical and do not practice what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion.
Dịch nghĩa: Các bậc phụ huynh cũng nên nhận ra rằng “Ví dụ tốt hơn lời giáo huấn”. Nếu họ đạo đức giả và không thực hành những gì họ nói, con cái của họ có thể trở nên bối rối và không an toàn về mặt cảm xúc khi chúng đủ lớn để tự suy nghĩ, và nhận ra họ bị, đến một mức độ nào đó, lừa dối. Một nhận thức đột ngột của một sự khác biệt đáng kể giữa đạo đức của cha mẹ và đạo đức của họ có thể là một sự vỡ mộng nguy hiểm.
Do đó sự thực hành phương châm “Example is better than precept” có thể giúp trẻ tránh khỏi tất cả những cảm xúc bối rối và không an toàn, hơn hết là giúp họ tránh khỏi bị vỡ mộng về chính cha mẹ mình.
Phương án C. will free a child from disillusion when he grows up = sẽ giải phóng đứa trẻ khỏi sự vỡ mộng khi nó lớn lên, là phương án chính xác nhất.
A. only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves = chỉ các tác dụng khi đứa trẻ đủ lớn để tự suy nghĩ.
Trong bài chỉ có thông tin nói rằng nếu cha mẹ không thực hành phương châm trên thì đứa trẻ sẽ bị rối loạn khi đủ lớn để tự suy nghĩ chứ không có thông tin nào nói rằng sự thực hành phương châm chỉ có tác dụng khi đứa trẻ đủ lớn để tự suy nghĩ.
B. would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals = sẽ giúp tránh khỏi sự cần thiết cho đạo đức và luân lý.
Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.
D. is too difficult for all parents to exercise = là quá khó để cho tất cả phụ huynh thực hiện.
