A little boy felt sorry for a butterfly ________ to emerge from its chrysalis(蛹）. He decided to ________ the butterfly. So he peeled the chrysalis open for the butterfly. The little boy was so ________ to watch the butterfly spread its wings and fly off into the sky. Then he was horrified ________ he watched the butterfly fall to the ground and die because it did not have the muscle and ________ to keep flying. In fact, the butterfly’s struggle to ________ the chrysalis helps the butterfly become stronger.

Like the little boy, ________ too often want to protect their children from struggle in the ________ of love. They don’t realize that their children need to struggle, to experience ________, to deal with disappointment, and to solve their own problems. Only in this way ________ children strengthen their emotional strength, become ________ and develop the skills necessary for the even bigger struggles they will meet throughout their lives. Children experiencing sufferings can ________ the ups and downs of life.

However, it isn’t helpful either in this case when parents ________ lectures(训斥), blame and shame to what the child is experiencing. Mothers ________ to say, “Stop crying and acting like a spoiled boy. You can’t always get what you want.” These ________ words should be avoided. Instead, parents can offer loving support. You can say, “Don’t lose ________. Be brave! You will succeed if you try again.” Then comes the tough part—no ________ and no lectures.
