1、不要忽视看似无足轻重的情绪
小石在和小朋友们争夺玩具时，不小心被碰了下，手臂上出现个红色的小印记，小石捂着“受伤”的手臂，哭着找妈妈。妈妈看见小石这么伤心的样子，从冰箱里拿出一个小冰块并用布包起采，认真地给小石敷着“受伤”的手臂。
编辑解读：也许有的妈妈会觉得：这也太小题大做了吧!尤其是这样对待男孩子。其实，小石的妈妈当然知道手臂的伤势没有那么严重，冰块的作用不在于治疗手臂，而是告诉小石：妈妈知道他伤心了，借此平复孩子有点受伤的情绪，当然如果妈妈觉得有必要的话，还可以在后面加上一句：“小男子汉应该坚强一些，就算受点伤也没什么大不了的。”
2、给他一个拥抱或者小零食
晓雷正在厨房里忙着做饭，突然听见儿子坐在客厅的地板上呜呜地哭了起来，嘴里念叨着：“妈妈不喜欢我了，妈妈不要我了。”晓雷解下围裙，把儿子抱到沙发上，搂着他说：“君君觉得妈妈不爱他了，真可怜啊！如果是我，我也会很伤心的。肯定是妈妈刚才忙得忘了君君，妈妈给君君泡杯牛奶好不好？”
编辑解读：有时候不需要太多的言语解释，在孩子感觉受忽略的时候，把他搂在怀里，亲一亲、抱一抱就行了，如果能给他一点喜欢吃的零食或者饮料，那就更好了。
3、借助“艺术创作”舒缓情绪
有一天靓靓发现自己最喜欢的小乌龟笨笨突然不动了，爸爸妈妈告诉靓靓小乌龟死了，并且带着靓靓找了一块地方埋葬了笨笨。靓靓似乎并不是很明白死是什么怎么一回事，可是之后的几天她都一直闷闷不乐。妈妈给了靓靓只笔、一个小本子，对靓靓说：“如果你想笨笨了，就把它画下来吧！想对它说什么，也可以写在纸上。”
编辑解读：小朋友高兴的时候可以用画笔一展绘画才能，不高兴的时候也能借助画笔抒发心中的不快。有时候，再多安慰的话也比不上孩子用自己的方式发泄情绪，比如画画、捏泥、剪纸、拼图等等。所以，家里备着铅笔、蜡笔、水彩笔、橡皮泥、大大小小的纸张是肯定能派上用场的，小朋友不仅能化悲痛为力量，创作出一件件小小艺术品，而且还能让爸爸妈妈暂时解放一会儿呢，不过前提是孩子肯自己玩。
4、适当时候的鼓励和激励
晓峰已经参加游泳培训2个目了，可他居然没有下过一次游泳池，原因是他很怕水。无论教练怎么保证游泳没有危险，晓峰就是不相信。每次训练回来，晓峰都要对妈妈说自己害怕极了，担心掉进水里没人救他。刚开始晓峰妈妈都表示理解他的担心，并让他先坐在一旁看其他小朋友是怎么学习的。可是2个月后她发现，晓峰的担心一点都没有减少，永远是坐在岸上看着别人，而且他丝毫没有尝试的打算。最后她打算找晓峰好好谈谈：“妈妈知道在水里的感觉有点怕怕，学游泳也不简单，但是你看别的小朋友在水里也没事啊，教练叔叔会保护你的，而且如果你大胆一点，挑战一下自己，说不定就学会了呢，那样妈妈会为你骄傲的。”
编辑解读：尊重和疏导孩子的情绪并不意味着一味的迁就，无原则地满足和忍让。在恰当的事情上和时机下，应该鼓励孩子积极地调整一下情绪，特别是当他一直沉浸在消极情绪中难以自拔时，更需要父母的激励

Sweet and Sour Fish (copy)
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
•1 pound fish fillets, such as cod, haddock, or sea bass
•Marinade:
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 large egg white
•1 tablespoon cornstarch
•Sauce:
•1 cup chicken broth
•1 tablespoon light soy sauce
•1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
•2 tablespoons tomato paste
•3 tablespoons rice vinegar, or red or white wine
•3 tablespoons granulated sugar
•1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
•Other:
•4 ounces mangetout (snow peas)
•1 red bell pepper
•1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
•2 tablespoons green onions, chopped diagonally
•2 - 4 cups oil for deep-frying
Preparation:
Rinse the fish fillets and pat dry. Cut into 2-inch squares. Add the fish to the marinade ingredients, using your fingers to mix in the ingredients and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the fish for 15 minutes.
While the fish is marinating, prepare the sauce and vegetables. In a small bowl, mix together the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, tomato paste, vinegar and sugar. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water.
Blanch the snow peas in boiling water until they turn bright green. Plunge briefly in cold water. Drain thoroughly. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut into cubes.
Heat the oil to between 360 and 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the marinated fish cubes. Deep-fry until they are golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Remove all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Add the ginger and green onion and stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the snow peas. Stir fry for a minute and add the red bell peppers.
Push the vegetables up to the sides of the wok and add the sauce in the middle. Bring to a boil. Add the cornstarch and water mixture, stirring to thicken. Serve the fish on a platter, covered with the sweet and sour sauce and vegetables.

Thai Green Curry (copied only)
Thai Green Curry
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 10 - 20 mins
(this version using curry paste)
Cook 20 mins
Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the fish sauce, sugar, kaffir lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.
