With the new year approaching, we often focus on resolutions to improve ourselves, but what about our children?
2
Our Sandra Ali shows us what we need to be doing at home to help set our kids up for success.
3
A study
4
that was done over a period of 25 years shows the
5
best predictor of a child's success later in life was whether
6
or not they did chores at the age of three or four.
7
Many parents know their children should be doing chores at home, but they don't always know how to make that happen.
8
Children are miniature versions of you.
9
And you have to give your children chores because you are their first teacher.
10
I think it's very important that they do their chores and do them on time.
11
It teaches them discipline.
12
It's a building block to start early. And responsibility, respect.
13
Vacuuming, dusting, and folding.
14
There are many, many ways kids can help out at home.
15
But not all parents are assigning chores.
16
In one survey, 82% of American adults reported having regular chores growing up, but only 56% said they required their own kids to do chores.
17
Studies show chores can teach responsibility, self-reliance, and self-worth.
18
And they also help kids think of others in the family, not just themselves.
19
As a society, we have elevated achievement and happiness, well-being as the primary goals of child raising and demoted or sidelined concern for others,
20
concern for the common good.
21
You have to teach your children responsibility through repetition and that way they'll develop and understand respect.
22
Entitlement is unacceptable.
23
To help your children succeed, first set expectations.
24
Let them know what their daily or even their weekly responsibilities are and when they should be done.
25
Don't offer electronics or other rewards until the chores are finished.
26
If your kids drag their feet, try timing the task.
27
For example, if you think emptying the dishwasher should take 10 minutes, tell them and set a timer.
28
And avoid assigning chores based on gender.
29
Use a chore wheel to encourage all the kids to participate in different types of work.
30
Follow through.
31
Once you assign the chores, follow through and make sure they do them so that they know that they have to be responsible.

背景与上下文
随着新年的临近，许多人开始制定自我提升的决心，但对于我们的孩子呢？在这段谈话中，Sandra Ali 提到，我们应该在家庭中采取哪些措施来帮助孩子取得成功。一项为期 25 年的研究表明，衡量一个孩子未来成功的最佳指标，就是他们在三到四岁时是否参与家务劳动。尽管大多数父母知道孩子应该参与家务，但他们常常不知道如何去实施。家务劳动不仅可以培养孩子的纪律感，也为他们打下了责任和尊重的基础。
日常沟通的五个关键短语
- “他们需要承担责任。”
- “家务是培养自我独立的机会。”
- “不要在家务未完成前给予奖励。”
- “使用时间计时器来提高效率。”
- “家务分配不应基于性别。”
逐步影子跟读指南
对于希望提升英语口语能力的学习者，采用影子跟读（shadowing）技巧是一个极好的方法。根据视频内容，以下是一个逐步的方法来帮助你有效地练习：
- 选择你的学习材料：观看类似的视频，如这段讨论家务的重要性的视频。可以选择相关的看YouTube学英语视频，了解更多家庭责任的表达。
- 初步理解：在正式影子跟读之前，仔细听一遍，了解整体内容和背景。记下你认为重点的片段。
- 逐句跟读：播放视频时，暂停每一句话，尝试跟随发音。使用shadowing site中的练习可以帮助你掌握关键短语和句子结构。
- 重复练习：多次重复，确保能够流利地说出短语，同时注意语调和重音。利用此过程进行雅思口语练习时，可以提升流利度和自信心。
- 反馈与调整：与朋友或语言学习交流群分享你的练习视频，获取反馈，进一步改进。
通过实施这些步骤，你可以在日常生活中学习如何更好地表达，进而提升你的英语口语练习能力，帮助孩子们从中受益。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
