Main Body
Some parents fight or use mean words. Children see this and do the same things. They may hit other children or be mean to get what they want.
有些父母會爭吵或使用刻薄的言語。孩子看到後會模仿同樣的行為。他們可能會打其他孩子，或用粗魯的方式來達成目的。
One old study showed this. Children watched an adult hit a doll. Then, the children hit the doll too. This happens in real life at home.
一項早期的研究證明了這一點。孩子們看到成年人擊打玩偶後，孩子們也跟著擊打玩偶。這種情況在現實生活的家庭中也會發生。
Other parents are kind. They help each other and say nice things. Children learn to be friendly. These children do not bully others.
其他父母則比較溫柔。他們互相幫助並說好話。孩子會學會友善。這些孩子不會欺負他人。

父母是孩子的第一任老師。溫柔的父母能幫助孩子保持快樂與安全。
Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Action' Pattern
Look at how the text describes people doing things. In A2 English, we often use a Person + Action pattern to tell a story.
Example from text:
- Children → watch
- Parents → fight
- Adult → hit
How to use this: To talk about a habit or a general truth, just put the person first and the action second.
Simple Swap: If you change the person, you change the meaning:
- Parents help Children help
- Parents fight Children fight
Word Bank for A2:
- Kind (Nice/Good)
- Mean (Not nice/Bad)
- Bully (To be mean to someone smaller/weaker)
