Unit 1 Parents and Children
Discussion
Structure
Part 1(para1-2): what is child abuse? Part 2(para3-5): how to judge and report a
case of child abuse? Part 3(para6-8): what causes child abuse?
Many things we need can wait, the child cannot. Now is the time his bones are formed, his mind developed. To him we cannot say tomorrow, his name is today.
Main idea of each paragraph
1. Failures to develop a peaceful and understanding relationship between parents and children lead to child abuse.
2. Child abuse has become a major topic in child development and an issue of much national concern.
Parents may have a lot of things to do, but looking after a child should be the top of priority. This is because the child is right in the process of physical and mental growth. We cannot delay our attention to him/her even for one day.
Now, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 23, 2002, as Family Day.

Background information
In 2001, the National Center on Addiction and Subtance Abuse(CASA) at Columbia University launched Family Day as an annual event, which takes place on the fourth Monday of each September.
We should keep up the values that America as a country has been sticking to in history so that the health and security of our families can be promoted and preserved.
So, here and now, as President of the United States of America, with the authority given to me by the constitution and the laws of the United States, I proclaim September 23, 2002, as Family Day.
Quotations
Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.
What is important to a child is not the material things that he/she is given, but the feelings of being loved. Parental love will accompany a child for the rest of his/her life.
By spending more family time together, parents can better engage with their children and encourage them to make the right choices.
When parents spend more time with their children, they can get involved and have a real contact with them and can guide them in making the right choices in life.
Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family.
Raising a healthy family is perhaps the most important service that a grown-up citizen can offer to his/her country and to humanity in general.
