Parenting is hard. If you' re a parent, I' m sure that I don' t need to tell you that our job
is a tough one. When you' re managing children, it can be difficult to remember that they are
still learning. If you find you are yelling at your kids more often than you want to, here
are some ways that can help you reduce the yelling. I' ve been working on this for the past
few months and I have to say, it' s been amazing for both the kids and me.
If you are having an argument with your child, you need to make sure you both take the time
to really listen. It gives both of you time to think and really listen to each other, which
is important. Kids are more likely to listen to you if you listen to them!
One of your biggest struggles is to remind yourself of appropriate expectations. You can' t
expect that your youngest acts as responsibly as your oldest. You should lower what you expect
– taking into consideration things like their age – it can make a big difference.
You should do your best to take a moment before yelling and take in a deep breath. It makes
a world of difference for you. Instead of yelling, you' d better whisper. It can also help diffuse
any situation by making things quieter, not louder. Besides, the more time you spend with your
kids, the better you' ll get at communicating with them. You' re both more likely to understand each other.
If your children aren' t listening or it seems they only don' t listen to you, you don' t take
it personally. You should remind yourself that your kids are still learning and they' re not going to be perfect.

DEMAND FOR ELDERLY CARE SERVICES IN CHINA RISING RAPIDLY The number of elderly people aged above 60 increased. Demand for elderly care services in China
will continue to rise due to the increasing aging population. The number of elderly people
aged above 60 was over 200 million in 2012, and will be 300 million in 2025 and 400 million in 2034, according to experts.
It will be a tough challenge for China to deal with, due to the increasing rates of urbanization
and a DECREASING birth rate. The Chinese people will be facing a big challenge if we do not have enough money when we get older.
The United Nations defines an aging society as one that has 10 percent of its population at or above the age of 60.
When most developed countries were classed as an aging society, their gross domestic product
(GDP) per capita stood at between 5, 000 to 10, 000 U. S. dollars or above. However, China became
an aging society in 2001, and its GDP per capita was only 1, 000 U. S. dollars. It was 6, 000
U. S. dollars in 2012. China’ s economic foundation for an elderly society is fragile.
On Sept. 13.2013, the State Council issued a guideline to speed up the development of China’ s
elderly care services, hoping to complete a social care network for its elderly by 2025.
