Question

Помогите пожалуйста) Нужно изложить в 3-5 коротких предложениях основную мысль статьи LET KIDS BE KIDS (by Stephen R.C. Hicks) The newspaper in Indiana town ran a contest for schoolchildren. The students were to create a picture on any topic; the best would be published in the paper. A second-grader drew a sad-faced earth with the caption "I am weary. I am tired. Please quit wasting me!"1 A third-grade girl depicted animals crying near a house under construction, with smokestacks in the distance; the caption read "We want our home back!" Apparently many children are coming home from school frightened that the world is cold and inhospitable. All the furry animals are being killed and the nice green trees being chopped down. Even breathing air is dangerous. Motivated by the best of intentions, most teachers want their students to become informed and independent thinkers. But in trying to convey a sense of urgency about such problems, they become frustrated and frightened. They begin to realize that we are living in a hostile world whose problems are too big to handle. And that's an attitude children often acquire early in life. This does not mean educators and parents should pretend that problems do not exist. We need to take pains2 to help children confront them on a scale they can grasp. Frightened children are not going to grow into adults who can solve the world's problems. That requires a confidence in one's ability to find solutions. And such healthy self-esteem requires nurturing over a long period, on a great number of small, dayto-day matters. Too much, too fast, can only destroy it.

Answer 1

Ответ:

The text makes a huge sense.That it was not difficult to perceive the world around us, but you need to remove the "rose-colored glasses".Unfortunately, you need to teach children from an early age that life is not just a fairy tale or a musical.Life is a very difficult thing that must be overcome despite the challenges.Yes, a lot of bad things happen in our world,but we have to accept it and try to improve it.Never give up.

Answer 2

The main idea of the article "Let Kids Be Kids" by Stephen R.C. Hicks is that educators and parents should be careful not to overwhelm children with the world's problems too early in life. While it's important to address real issues, children need to be nurtured and allowed to enjoy their childhood without excessive fear and anxiety. Building their confidence and self-esteem gradually through handling smaller challenges will better equip them to become problem solvers in the future.
