　　Most little girls love to dress up as princesses. It is difficult to imagine what might be wrong with that.

　　But one author has written a book on how she believes the fairy(仙女) tales send a dangerous message. Jennifer L Hardstein is the author of the recently-published book Princess Recovery.

　　In her book, Dr Hardstein says that traditional stories like Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella advertise the idea that if a girl is pretty enough and has fancy clothes and shoes, she can find love and be popular. T he author refers to this phenomenon(现象) as the “Princess Syndrome(公主综合症)”.

　　These kinds of messages, she says, have a huge influence on a girl's self-confidence and make it hard for children to understand as they grow up, that wisdom, generosity and passion(热情) are more important values.

　　During an appearance on CBS’ Early Show, Dr Hardstein explained: “Girls are getting this message everywhere that... what their worth is based on is how they look and the things that they have, and it's very superficial.”

　　Speaking on the show she said: Parents think their kids will understand the messages that they are attacked with all the time but they don't.

　　As well as warning of the dangers of “Princess Syndrome”, her book advises parents how to guide their children from an early age.

　　She adds that it's no t just magazines, TV shows and online media that is giving our children the wrong ideas about what is important.

　　She makes a promise to parents, “Princess Recovery will bring balance, confidence, and self-sufficiency into your daughter’s life while giving her a modern, colorful childhood.”

There’s a time to get angry, and it’s best for your child if you do. Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach your child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react（反应）is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad.

　　Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child , “Peter was crying because you hit him,” is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be scolded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism （批评）to heart.

　　When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once. At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrong. An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good. Forbidding a child to play outside or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well-but only when taken together with an explanation. Make sure your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her. Use simple, direct words such as, “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people.” If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly, your message will carry enough weight.

According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong?

       A．Ask the child not to do it again any time.

       B．Show the child how angry they are and tell him why.

       C．Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others.

       D．Let the child know you still love hime or her.

What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer?

       A．Calm themselves down before scolding him.

       B．Hide their feelings when talking to him.

       C．Explain immediately why he was wrong.

       D．Speak strongly and angrily to him.
