你有问题，她有答案
Q: My children go to a primary school where they are not allowed to play football in the playground for fear that a child might be hurt. Besides, now the school says there must be no homework because the local secondary school can't keep up with the amount of homework given in the primary school. Can the school do this? Puzzled Dad
我的孩子去了一所小学，因为担心孩子会受伤，他们不允许在操场上踢足球。此外，现在学校说不能有家庭作业，因为当地的中学跟不上小学的家庭作业量。学校能做到这一点吗？困惑的爸爸
A: It can't if enough parents do something about it. It is not just schools. We live in a society which whishes to get rid of risk. However, schools should have a little common sense and courage. Children need risk if they are to grow up self-sufficient and confident. They need homework, too, if they are to fulfill their academic potentail. Complain, loudly.
如果有足够多的家长对此采取行动，那么这一切就不可能实现。不仅仅是学校，我们生活在一个希望摆脱风险的社会。然而，学校应该有一点常识和勇气。如果孩子们能够自立自信地成长，他们需要风险。如果他们想发挥自己的学术潜力，他们也需要家庭作业。大声地抱怨吧。
Q: I have a beautiful teenage daughter who spends an hour making up her face in front of the mirror every day. I tell her to go easy. She just gets mad or bursts into tears. How can I make her understand she's beautiful the way she is. Plain Mom
我有一个漂亮的十来岁的女儿，她每天都要花一个小时在镜子前化妆。我告诉她别太刻意，她就会生气或哭泣。我怎样才能让她明白自己的美丽。朴素的妈妈
A: You can't. Your daughter is at the age when she's trying to look beautiful, trying on new masks. And if her friends all dress up as she does, you're in for an extra hard time. Support her and tell her she's beautiful — even if she looks ridiculous for now. Then invite her to join you for a day at a spa. Let her try various looks until she's comfortable in her own skin.
你做不到。你的女儿正处于她试图看起来很漂亮的年龄，尝试新的面具。如果她的朋友都像她一样打扮，那你的日子就更难过了。支持她，告诉她她很漂亮——即使她现在看起来很可笑。然后邀请她和你一起去水疗中心待一天。让她尝试各种各样的造型，直到她自己的皮肤舒服为止。
