A If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some parents make Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expects, and will fail Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to the children
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive of their children

C Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies - well, not big lies, but what we call "white lies" The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to A recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch the truth Here are some ways they do it
People often lie because they want to hide something from someone For example, a son doesn't tell his parents that he is dating a girl because he doesn't think they will like her In stead, he says he is going out with the guys
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something For example, someone invites you to a party You think it will be boring so you say that you are busy and can't come
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible Do you say so? No! You probably say "Hmm, this is delicious!"
Other times we don’t want to tell someone bad news For example, you have just had bad day at work, but you don't want to talk about it So, if someone asks about your day, you just say everything was fine
Telling "white lies" isn't really bad Most of the time people do it because they want to protect a friendship

B Because they feel amused
