Hello and welcome to Family Matters

What is the best way to bring up children? Now there’s a question. Many parents are caught between what they think they should do and what they end up doing and feeling guilty about. Well a new book by sociologist Miriam Keating might just help make those parents feel a little bit better. In her new book Bringing up Babies, Miriam questions some of the ideas we have on parenting and looks to other cultures to show how they do things differently. In each chapter she takes a different problematic area and shows us how parents from other countries do things differently. For example, in the first chapter, Miriam looks at the British obsession with bedtimes and making sure we get our children to bed before a certain hour. To look at this from a different perspective, Miriam takes us to Argentina where parents often let their children stay up late and where it’s not uncommon to see children eating out late in restaurants with their parents. But it doesn’t seem to do them any harm. What is important is that children get enough sleep. So if they go to bed late, they get up late. And that’s exactly what they do. Furthermore, by going out in the evenings with their parents, Argentinian children also learn how to socialise well from a very early age. Another familiar problem that Miriam looks at is food and most parents’ fight to get their children to eat healthily. For a solution to this one she takes an example from France where children are introduced to all sorts of food from a very early age. French children are allowed to not like an item of food but they are not allowed to not try it. And, if the child seems not to like a particular item of food, that’s no reason to never try it again. Just wait a while and reintroduce it a little later. Unsurprisingly, Miriam found that French children were a lot less fussy than kids in the UK. In Japan Miriam discovered an interesting idea on how to deal with children fighting. While watching children in one Japanese primary school she was surprised to see that when two five year olds started to argue about whose turn it was to use the computer, the teacher did nothing even though the children were getting quite loud. The teacher only did something if the children started to get physical. But she was even more surprised at how often the children were able to sort out their problem themselves. Instead of having an adult feeling they had to control the child’s world, the children were learning the important life skill of negotiating from an early age. Other chapters look at Poland, where the family is always kept very close together and Mexico where mothers teach their children how to cook from a very early age. Adults are bringing up children all over the world. The clear message from Bringing Up Babies is that there is no single right way to do it and that it might be a good idea to take note of how parents in other cultures are doing it.

Conversation 1

JEN: Dad does know how to embarrass me.

MUM: What’s he done this time, Jen?

JEN: Well, I was walking home from school with Chloe and Amelia and Dad pulls up in the car by the side of the road.

MUM: And?

JEN: Well, at first I didn’t even know it was him but then he opened the window and called my name so I turned round and he asked me if I wanted a lift.

MUM: What’s wrong with that?

JEN: I’m 16, Mum. I'm not a baby. When did I last need a lift home from Dad?

MUM: Um, last Saturday, when you needed to get back from Tom’s party at midnight.

JEN: That’s different, Mum.

MUM: Is it? He was probably just driving past and saw you and wondered if you wanted a lift. We’re your parents, Jen, we do care about you.

Conversation 2

SUE: Mum, you’ve got to have a word with Dad.

MUM: Why, Sue?

SUE: It’s his hair, Mum. I mean, I don’t mind him having long hair but does he have to tie it back in a ponytail? It’s such an inappropriate hairstyle for a man of his age.

MUM: What do you mean? I quite like it.

SUE: You are joking, right? It’s the sort of haircut that footballers used to have about ten years ago. No one wears their hair like that now.

MUM: Well your dad does. He likes it that way. And what difference does it make to you, anyway?

SUE: My friends think it looks silly.

MUM: Do they? Which friends exactly?

SUE: Well, no one’s actually said anything but I know they’re thinking it.

MUM: Sue, you need to worry less about what your friends might be thinking and more about hurting your dad’s feelings.

Conversation 3

DAWN: Dad’s so embarrassing.

MUM: Really, Dawn? What’s he done now?

DAWN: Well, when my friends come round to our house, he tries to act really cool and join in our conversations.

MUM: What do you mean?

DAWN: For example, he tries to pretend he’s really into music and mentions all the bands that he thinks we’re listening too. Of course, he gets it all wrong. I mean he thinks we’re into stuff like Avril Lavigne and Fall Out Boy.

MUM: I thought you liked that kind of stuff.

DAWN: Yes, I did like it when I was about eight. But now? Please ...

MUM: Well, he’s only trying to be friendly. Don’t be too hard on him.

DAWN: I know, but to make it worse, he starts singing the songs. Mum, it’s awful. You’ve got to make him stop.

MUM: Yes, that is embarrassing. I’ll have a word with him.

SPEAKER 1

We go on a family holiday for two weeks every July and we always go to the same place, a campsite by a beach in South Wales. I know some people might think this sounds a bit boring, but I really enjoy it. It’s just me, my brother and Mum and Dad and we always have a great time. We don’t really do anything special. We go for a few walks, swim in the sea and Dad makes the most amazing meals on the fire. We’re all so busy in our day-to-day life, it’s great just to hang out and spend some real time together – stress free. And amazingly, we never argue like we do all the time at home.

SPEAKER 2

I always like the idea of a family holiday. Mum and Dad take us to some amazing places, we’re really lucky. But when we get back from them I always feel a bit let down. The problem is that Mum can never really switch off from work. We can be lying on a beach in the south of France and Mum will spend half the time talking on the phone while Dad just reads his book. It’s a shame because it would be nice to have some quality time together but we just don’t really get any chance to sit down and talk. Even when we’re having an evening meal together you can bet that Mum’s phone will ring. It’s a shame.

SPEAKER 3

I quite enjoy our annual family holiday but as I get a bit older, I find I’m enjoying them less and less. The problem is that because I’m the oldest I get a bit bored with hanging out with my brother and sister. They’re still happy messing around on the beach and swimming in the sea, but I don’t really find that sort of thing much fun anymore. This year I spent most of the time playing games on my phone, which, of course, led to arguments with Mum. It was just like being at home. I’d really like to go on holiday with my friends next year but I’m not sure Mum will let me.

SPEAKER 4

I love family holidays. I’m an only child so Mum and Dad always let me invite a friend along to keep me company. It means that they don’t have to worry so much about keeping me entertained. They can go off and do the sorts of things that adults enjoy doing, while my friend and I just have fun hanging out without having parents telling us what to do all the time. Everyone’s happy and we all go home completely refreshed. My only problem is trying to choose which friend to invite. Maybe they’ll let me take two this year.

SPEAKER 5

I don’t really enjoy family holidays. It’s just me, Dad and my sister and my dad only takes us to the places that he wants to go. That usually means some place of historical interest with a castle and lots of museums for him to drag us around. Why do we always have to do what he wants us to do? It would be much more fun if he let me and Jenny choose for a change. We’d take him to Disneyland and show him a really good time.

SPEAKER 1

There are so many roles that a parent has to play in a child's life that it's almost impossible to choose the most important. I mean they need to be teachers, friends, providers, protectors; they need to discipline us from time to time. I mean the list is endless. But I suppose that if I was forced to choose just one, then I would go for ‘friend’ because I guess in a way, a good friend is sort of all the other things too. The most important thing about a friend is knowing they will always be there for you, no matter what you do. And that's exactly what a good mum or dad should do too.

SPEAKER 2

Of the many roles that a parent plays in a child's life, the most important by far is that of being a provider. The first responsibility of any parent is to make sure that there is a roof over their children's heads and a meal on the table three times a day. Then they have to make sure that they get educated and are healthy. If you can ensure all these things then all children will have the basic needs they require to have a chance in life. But of course, it's not just material things that a child needs. Parents also have the obligation to provide love. But then, it's almost impossible to be a parent and not do that.

SPEAKER 3

Children need to be disciplined. You see too many children these days who have absolutely no respect for older generations and think that the world revolves only around them. I blame the parents for letting them get away with doing whatever they want. You see it in the streets all the time, young children hanging out in large groups without a parent in sight. And if a policeman tries to move them on, they treat it as if it was just one big joke. They've no respect for anyone.

SPEAKER 4

It's very difficult to be a parent these days, that's for sure. The world is changing so quickly that it's hard to keep up with all the things that are going on. Having said that, some things will always be the same: love, respect, tolerance, living without prejudice. These are the things that are really important and these are the things that parents should pass on to their children. If they are successful in doing so then their children can pass them on to their children and so on. It means the world will always be a good place to live in.

SPEAKER 5

There's no one in the world who can love you like your mum and dad and this love is what makes a child feel safe and protected. Luckily it's probably the most natural thing a parent can do and something that they won't need to work too hard at. Of course, it's not easy bringing up children and there are many things you will need to do to make sure that they grow up into healthy, well-rounded individuals. But so long as you love them and give them a home where they feel safe, then you're giving them the best possible start to their lives.

An Embarrassing Dad

If you think you have the world's most embarrassing dad, then think again.

American teenager Rain Price has just spent the last half year with his dad waving him off to school from the bus stop outside his house. OK, so that doesn't sound too bad, but this was no ordinary goodbye because each day Rain's dad said goodbye wearing a different fancy-dress costume!

It all started on 16-years-old Rain's first day at high school. Like many proud parents, Rochelle and Dale, Rain's mum and dad, sent him off to school with a big wave from the doorstep. That evening Rain made the mistake of complaining about how embarrassing they were, which gave Dale a great idea.

The next morning as Rain stepped onto the bus outside his house, he could hear all of his school friends laughing at something. He turned around and to his horror, there was his dad waving him off, dressed as an American football player, complete with ball and helmet. But that was just the beginning. For the next 180 school days, come rain or shine, Dale waved goodbye to his son dressed in a different costume. One day, he was a king waving his sword and shield, the next a chef in his hat and apron, the following a pirate. Then there was Elvis and Wonder Woman. Dale even got other members of the family involved, using Rain's younger brother to play Batman alongside his Robin.

Amazingly Dale only spent $50 on all of his costumes. He got loads of costumes from the family fancy-dress collection and then there were several friends and neighbours happy to help.

Some of Rain's friends didn't find it funny but most of them looked forward to seeing what Dale would be wearing. And Dale also found an international audience for his dressing up too, as each day Rochelle took a photo of her husband in fancy dress and put it on their blog, waveatthebus.blogspot.com, which became a hit on the Internet. Even Rain was eventually able to see the funny side and realized that his dad was pretty cool after all.

But all good things must come to an end and for the final farewell on the last day of school, Dale dressed up as a pirate and stood next to a sign reading 'It's been fun waving at the bus. Have a great summer'. He has no plans to wave Rain off to school next year. Instead, he's looking forward to getting a little more sleep each morning.

This is an interesting book but Amy Chua's parenting ideas are too strict for me. For example, Tiger mums don't let their children watch any TV or play any computer games. How can any child in the 21st Century grow up without playing on a computer? What is she trying to do? Take away their

childhoods?

I do understand that she feels she was only doing the best for her children and trying to help them get ahead in life. But there are loads of children who spend hours in front of the TV and still do well.

I think Amy Chua's ideas are fantastic. Yes, she was hard on her children at times but she did bring up two amazing children. Her daughters are so confident, they'll do really well in life.

Too many parents are soft on their children these days. They use the TV as a way of keeping them quiet. They don't have enough time for their children. My mum and dad are strict and they don't let me do a lot of things my friends do. It is hard at times, but they are always there when I need help with my school work or have a problem with other students at school. They are just trying to do their best for me.

'You're not going round there again,' she said on the way home. Marcus knew she'd say it, and he also knew that he'd take no notice, but he argued anyway.

'Why not?'

'If you've got anything to say, you say it to me. If you want new clothes, I'll get them.'

'But you don't know what I need.'

'So tell me.'

'I don't know what I need. Only Will knows what I need.'

'Don't be ridiculous.'

'It's true. He knows what things kids wear.'

'Kids wear what they put on in the mornings.'

'You know what I mean.'

'You mean that he thinks he's trendy, and that [...] he knows which trainers are fashionable, even though he doesn't know the first thing about anything else.'

That was exactly what he meant. That was what Will was good at, and Marcus thought he was lucky to have found him.

'We don't need that kind of person. We're doing all right our way.'

Marcus looked out of the bus window and thought about whether this was true, and decided it wasn't, that neither of them were doing all right, whichever way you looked at it.

'If you are having trouble it's nothing to do with what shoes you wear, I can tell you that for nothing.'

'No, I know, but –'

Marcus had never thought of his mother in that way before, as someone who knew what she was doing. He had never thought that she didn't have a clue either; it was just that what she did with him (for him? to him?) didn't appear to be anything like that. He had always looked on being a mother as straightforward, something like, say, driving: most people could do it, and you could mess it up by doing something really obvious, by driving your car into a bus, or not telling your kid to say please and thank you and sorry (there were loads of kids at school, he reckoned, kids who stole and swore too much and bullied other kids, whose mums and dads had a lot to answer for). If you looked at it that way, there wasn't an awful lot to think about. But his mum seemed to be saying that there was more to it than that. She was telling him she had a plan.

If she had a plan, then he had a choice. He could trust her, believe her when she said she knew what she was doing [...] Or he could decide that, actually, she was off her head [...] Either way it was scary. He didn't want to put up with things as they were, but the other choice meant he'd have to be his own mother, and how could you be your own mother when you were only twelve? He could tell himself to say please and thank you and sorry, that was easy, but he didn't know where to start with the rest of it. He didn't even know what the rest of it was. He hadn't even known until today that there was a rest of it.

'Marcus, trust me, OK? I've been your mother for twelve years. I haven't made too bad a job of it. I do think about it. I know what I'm doing.'

by Nick Hornby

About a boy

Marcus is a schoolboy who lives with his mum, who is depressed. Marcus has a bad time at school – he gets bullied quite a lot, especially because of the clothes his mum makes him wear. Marcus has met Will, a rich lazy man who makes friends with Marcus and buys him new trainers.

Here, Marcus and his mum are going home after visiting Will at his flat.

Don't get me wrong – I love my parents to bits. I know they love me too and would do anything to help me but sometimes they can be well ... really embarrassing. Dad wanting to pick me up from school, Mum getting over-excited when she watches me playing football for the school team. And I know it's not just me. My friends all moan about theirs from time to time. It seems a few cruel parents deliberately want to see their kids suffer, but others are just trying to be cool and fit in with our friends. Either way, they can make life pretty tricky for us at times. There's not really much we can do about it, or is there? Here are a few tips I've come up with to make life just a little easier for all of us.

Write a list of all the things you find embarrassing and then put them in order. Is the fact that your dad sings along to the radio when your friends are over for dinner worse than the fact that he always calls your best friend by the wrong name? By deciding which ones are worse means you'll be free to focus your energy where you need it most.

When you've decided which issues you want to talk about, keep a diary of all the times your mum or dad do the things that embarrass you most. When, where and how you felt – make a note of all these things. They'll help you put your case across.

When you've got enough evidence, it's time for a little face-to-face chat. Use your notes to help you. The chances are that even if your parents are conscious of doing these things, they probably don't realise how embarrassing they are. Keep calm. Let them know how you feel and why. Let them have their say – they'll probably want to defend themselves. Of course, you'll also have to be prepared to listen to some of the things that they're not so keen on about your behaviour. It's part of the deal. Maybe you can both agree to think more carefully about some of your actions.

Hopefully your parents will listen and be willing to change their ways, especially if you say you're happy to change too. Of course, sometimes they might not. When this happens then the best advice I can offer is to ignore it and get on with your life. If you do this, things will be a lot easier. Remember that they once had their own embarrassing parents, and the chances are many of us will be embarrassing parents ourselves one day. Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on them.

Because of the high costs of professional child care, more and more parents in the UK are relying on their own mothers and fathers to look after their children so that they can go back to work. This means that these grandparents are getting to spend far more time with their grandchildren than their own parents did, but is this always a good thing?

Of course, grandparents can be a wonderful influence in a child's life. No one, except for their own parents, can love them more and the children will generally be well cared for. The time and attention that the child receives will help them grow up securely, knowing that they are special. This relationship often continues in later years and many teenagers have a close bond with their grandparents, knowing that they can turn to them with problems they won't always want to share with their parents.

But parents shouldn't abuse this situation. Parents should always be the most important influence in any child's life. They need to be there and make the important decisions rather than rely upon their own mothers and fathers to do so for them.

To sum up, children who grow up having a close relationship with their grandparents are very lucky indeed. However, their parents must be careful not to forget their responsibility for their child's upbringing and happiness.

Grandparents can play an important part in children's lives. Do you agree?

Exam guide: multiple matching

In this part of the exam you need to match speakers to a sentence describing part of what they are talking about.

• You hear five people talking about the same subject – they are not connected to each other. You hear each extract twice.

• On the exam paper there are eight comments. Your job is to match one to each of the speakers. There are three comments you won't use.

• Listen to each speaker carefully. You will sometimes hear things that are intended to distract you from the correct answer, so avoid making quick decisions.

• Before you listen, read through the comments to prepare yourself for the sorts of things you will hear.

• You will need to listen out for attitudes, opinions, purpose, feelings, main points and details.

• Use your second listening to confirm answers you have already chosen and answer those questions you weren't able to the first time round.
