mola. D. To show the advantages of the Mola moal over other animals. D Ronald Reagan’s son, Ron Reagan, wrote a memoir(回憶錄), My Father at 100, as the 100th anniversary of the late president’s birth approached. The younger Reagan wrote that for most of his childhood he was an only child. His older sister Patti was off at boarding school, leaving him and his mother, Nancy, alone with the man who was to bee one of the most popular politicians of all time. So, what insight would his son give us about the man many still find a mystery? He admitted early on that he was haunted(纏繞) by the inevitable question: “What are you going to tell me about him that I don’t already know?” The younger Reagan covered a lot of familiar aspects. He admitted, for instance, the wellknown fact that his father could be distant and inattentive. “He was often wandering somewhere in his own head,” he wrote.“...A paradoxical(自相矛盾的) character, my father: He was warm yet remote.” Reagan made it clear that his memoir was not political. He said it was only his attempt to understand the father with whom he grew up, a public figure and, most importantly, a human being in all his stubborn mystery. While this book is certainly not the endall of who Ronald Reagan was, it adds many personal pieces to the Reagan puzzle. The son decided to go back to the beginning, from ancestral Ireland to his father’s childhood in small Midwestern towns, where he discovered that the energetic and optimistic young lifeguard was much the same person who was to bee his father, and then president. He cleverly jumped back and forth from his father’s life to his own, but one hungers for more stories about the young Reagan family of California, for more firstperson accounts from the son who was there, like the story of his father never letting young Ron win a race in the pool.

He’ll also learn that most people do well at some things and not so well at others—and that’s fine. 36 Encourage your child to keep trying If your child fails at something, help them understand that everyone makes mistakes. 37 Besides, you could share some examples of times that you have failed, or have needed to keep trying at something. Model confidence on your own ability 38 For example, you could talk to your child about what you’re going to do to try to succeed at a task. You can also discuss things you’ve done that might have been scary or tough for you to do, showing your child that you’ve also been through times when you’ve needed confidence. 39 If your child feels anxious in social situations, he might need some guidance from you. For example, body posture, smiling, connecting with others, showing interest in others’ activities and joining in conversations can help build confidence.
