Sarah: Yeah.薩拉：對。John:Forexample,they'rehungryorbored.約翰：比如，他們可能餓了或是感到無聊。Sarah: Yeah.Ithinkalotofthetimes,childrenarenaughty becausemaybethey'retired orthey'rehungry,ortheywanttoplayand1stretchtheir legsbuttheycan'tbecausethey'reontheplaneorthey're inastrollerattheshopping mall.薩拉：對。我認(rèn)為，很多時候孩子不聽話是因?yàn)樗麄兒芾刍蚴丘I了，或者他們想玩一會兒，或是因?yàn)橄雱右粍拥菂s不行，因?yàn)樵陲w機(jī)上，或者因?yàn)樵谫徫镏行臅r他們要坐在嬰兒推車?yán)?。John: Soinsteadofwaiting forbadbehaviorandthen doingsomediscipline like yelling atyourkidsorgrabbingtheirarms,maybeit'sbetterto prevent badbehaviorbymakingsurethekidssleep enoughanddon'tgetbored.約翰：所以，相比在孩子做出不好的行為時，用沖他們大喊或是抓他們胳膊方式的管教他們，通過確保孩子睡眠充足、不會感到厭煩來防止不好行為的出現(xiàn)，可能是更好的方式。Sarah:Yeah.That'swhatI'm saying. And,youknow,mykidsareyoung.Justthreeandone.Soaone-yearoldcan'treallybenaughty.They'rejustababy.Soiftheyneedsomething,Igivethemfoodorwhattheyneed.Butathree-yearold,theycanthrowatantrum. Andso,theycanbevery naughty.薩拉：對。我就是這個意思。你知道，孩子還小。只有三歲和一歲。一個一歲的孩子不會太淘氣。他們還是嬰兒。如果他們有需要，我會給他們食物或是他們想要的東西。但是三歲的孩子會發(fā)脾氣，非常不聽話。John: Atantrum?約翰：發(fā)脾氣？Sarah: Yeah.Whentheyscreamandmaybetheyfalldownonthefloor,andtheykicktheirlegs.Sometimestheytrytohityou.It'sreallybad.ButIthink alltwo-and-three-year-oldchildren sometimestheydothem.薩拉：對，他們會尖叫，跌坐在地板上踢腿。有時他們還會打你。這種行為非常糟糕。不過我認(rèn)為所有兩歲和三歲的孩子都會這樣做。John:Oh,I'veheardofthat.
