35、 failure CI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines.

I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate (准确的) when he stood up. Could he be more intent (

37、专心的) while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success.
