Many people say dolphins are very intelligent.They seem to be able to think，understand，and learn things quickly.But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people.But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways.How?
Fact 1：Talk to me
Like humans，every dolphin has its own “name”．The name is a special whistle.Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself，usually by its first birthday.Actually，scientists think dolphins，like people，“talk” to each other about a lot of things，such as their ages，their feelings，or finding food.And，like humans，dolphins use a system of sounds and body languages to communicate.But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans.No one speaks dolphin's language yet，but some scientists are trying to learn.
Fact 2：Let's play
Dolphins are also social animals.They live in groups，and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun—just like people.In fact，playing together is something only intelligent animals do.
Fact 3: Fishermen's helper
Dolphins and humans are similar in another way：both make plans to get something they want.In the seas of southern Brazil，for example，dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food.When fish are near a boat，dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water.Using this method，the men can catch a lot of fish.What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so？They get to eat some of the fish.

Here are some ways parents can use to encourage a healthy self-image in their children.
Teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside. 1. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said, “She is so pretty,” and then quickly looked at me and said you are prettier, Mom.” And I said, “It’s okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know that’s not why you love me.” 2.
Tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome. It is very easy for all of us to see the charm, whether it is in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not think too highly of famous people. 3. Maybe they have the same struggles, like wanting acceptance from peers.
4. Don’t be afraid to have conversations with your child about how they’re feeling about ads songs, etc. You are the parent! 5. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing, music, or magazines that you don’t believe send the right message to your children!
A. Use your mouth.
B. Be patient with your kids.
C. about what problems they might have.
D. It is important to teach children this from an early age.
E. Success is not measured by how famous you are, either.
F. Girls tend to like famous singers while boys prefer sports stars.
G In fact, kids of all ages want and need boundaries from you.
