“Mummy ,I don’t know what to play with “Steve interrupts his mother ,who is talking to a friend ,for the fourth time .”You’ve got a room full of toys !”his mother says ,impatiently .In fact it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four –year –old Steve’s lack of interest in his dolls ,cars and stuffed (packed )animals .Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor ,listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother’s desk or following her into the kitchen saying : “Mummy, I am bored .”
A family therapist （心理医生）explains why children lose interest when they have a whole “toy shop” at home : “According to their brain development ,little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once .There is always just one favorite toy for the moment .All the rest is left lying about . “What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys ? Under no conditions should we simply make something disappear without the child’s knowledge .If he /she takes no more notice of a toy ,a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away .Be warned though the child will always say he /she wants it then ! A talk with relatives and friends may also help .Lyn is the mother of four –year –old Jessie ,and we like her way .A small set of shelves in her child’s room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present ) favorites .When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys ,they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room .The box of “old” toys goes into the cupboard .When her child says she is “bored”, they also get something from her cupboard –it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn’t seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy .
Some favorite toys stay out all the time ,and there is collection of dolls which sits in the corner ,but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something “fresh” to play with .

“I’ve changed my mind . I wanted to have a telescope , but now I want my daddy back .” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gate ,must have touched every heart . Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky . When those whom we love depart from us , we cannot see the stars for a while .
But Lucien , the stars are still there , and one day , when you are older and your tears have gone , you will see them again . And , in a strange way , I expect that you will find your father is there too , in you mind and in your heart .I find that my parents , long dead now , still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive . I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions . I remember that when I became a professor , I was so proud , or rather so pleased with myself , that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents . The reply was a long time in coming , but when it did , all Mother said was ” I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten . The values of my parents still live on .
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care . Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care ? How many people would want me back for Christmas ? It’s a serious thought , one to give me pause .
I pray silently , something , in the dead of night , that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul form the sword (剑), and my darling form the power of the dog .”Yet I know that death comes to us all , and sometimes comes suddenly . We must therefore plan not to live forever , but live as if we will die tomorrow . We live on , I’m sure , in the lives of those we loved , and therefore we ought to have to care for what they will remember and what they will treasure . If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true , there might be fewer knives on our streets today .
