19、d teachers agree that praise can help increase childrens self-confidence-the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children.

28、roving one wrong, especially your parents, is a tough ride. But when you love something, you constantly put up a fight. You stand for what you believe in, which is one of the most important aspects of life. Any parent or carer would require too much, “You must go to university”, “You will not get an
