"Mummy, I don't know what to play with." Steve stops 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 having no interest in his dolls, cars and animals. Each morning he pours three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, pulls out something and shortly after that, he 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 different kinds of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest are left lying about." What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys? 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. Of course the child will always say he/she wants it then!

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 new favourites. 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 favourite toys stay out all the time, and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the comer, 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.

Have you ever heard the saying "If you want a friend, be one"? If you want to make friends with others, you should be friendly to them first.
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled （微笑） at each student. Then she said in a quiet voice,"Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I'd like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together." Her voice was sweet（甜美的） and her look was friendly, so everyone felt happy.
She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she hoped to do with them during the year. Then she said to the boys and girls, "Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like."
Could you make friends by doing the same as this teacher did?
One way of getting to know girls and boys in your class is to find out more about them. People often make friends with those who are the same as them. You play the same games and go on vacations together. It is a good way to make friends.
