7、story is an embarrassing first effort. It s these first clumsy steps on troad to fame and fortune that fascinate Seth Fiegerman, who edits the blog , a collection of case studies on the origins of famous careers.Fiegerman landed a desired first job as a research editor at Playboy magazine after his

8、graduation. But he had worked there for just half a year when management announced that most of the staff would soon be laid off. Fiegerman felt aimless. He began to explore the Playboy files, discovering a series of interviews with successful people whoshared tales of their less promisingearly days

9、. It kind of paired well with this feeling that I had.Fiegerman says. Fiegerman quicklybecame crazy with these origin stories.Success, he learned, was less a matter of innate talent and more the product of perseverance, a willingness to stumble and stand up again and again. You kind of assume that g

10、reat geniusesare like Mozart, “ Fiegesayan But few successful people were child geniuses, and geniuses don t necessarily find success. Most people don t stick to it. ”Author Jennifer Egan stuck with it. She told Fiegerman that her first novel was so bad that even her mother hated it. But Egan kept w

11、riting, and her writing got better in 2011, she won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel about growing old in the digital age.Knowing about a hero s rough beginnings might disappoint some fans, but Fiegerman finds comfort in them. Like his subjects, Fiegerman found that his own early setback wasn t perman

15、rough a crowded grocery store. But parenting goes far beyond the requirements for meeting the basic survival needs of the child, and parents have a significant influence on how children turn out. Here we will explore the ways parents can have an important effect on the emotional development of their

16、 children.Sometimes, just being physically present is not enough. An important factor in the emotional development of children is how warm caregivers are, and studies have been done to find the effects of depressed mothers on the emotional development of children. Depressed mothers have maladaptive

17、thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors, and these, along with being in a similarly stressful environment as the mother, put a child at risk of developing his own emotional problems.In childrens emotional development, learning how to regulate emotions is important as well. Children see how their parents

18、display emotions and interact with other people, and they mirror what they see their parents do to regulate emotions. Parents should be aware that not only do their own emotions and parenting styles affect the emotional outcomes of their children, but if they are not aware of how their children s te

19、mpers affect them, they could fall into a spiral of ineffectiveand indifferent parenting which further contributes to negative behaviors from the children.It is also important in social situations for children to be able to identify and deal with the emotions of those around them. It has been found

20、that marriage conflict contributes to problems in childrens emotional development, whose biggest contributing factor is whether the child hears the parents fighting. This is referred to as“ background anger in the child s environment andchild is exposed to it, even though it is not directed at the c

21、hild, problems with emotional security and regulation are likely to result from it. Coming from a family with divorced parents, I can relate to this issue of background anger being a factor, because although my parents split when I was at a vulnerable age, they made sure not to fight in front of my

22、sister and me, and I think that allowed us to have a healthier reaction to the divorce and to be emotionally well-adjusted in social interactions.Parenting decisions affect how children turn out physically, socially, and emotionally, and parents can help their children develop into emotionally stabl

23、e people by giving them a supportive environment, positive feedback, role models of healthy behavior and interactions, and someone to talk to about their emotional reactions to their experiences.19.

28、o them, theytend to look away and say nothing, or just mumble in response. This happens because they feel awkward and self- conscious, but the message that they re sending to the other chilcke；I deyou, and I don t want anything to do with you! 24”Praises are another easy way to signal openness to fr

29、iendship. It feels good to receive a sincere praise. 25 Brainstorm with your child some ways to praise classmates. Keep it simple: Nice shot! ” for a kid playing basketball, or“ I like the way you drew the sky!peer s artwork are some possibilities.Simple acts of kindness can be another way to signal

30、 friendliness to others. There are simple ways to do it. The child can share his sandwich with his seatmate, or lend something to a schoolmate.
