              How can parents help kids have a healthy relationship to money? Well, here are good ways you can teach your kids about money. Firstly, talk about money with kids. Kids always want to know more about money and tend to ask questions about it. Besides, it’s important for us to tell them information about family finances (财力). This will help kids understand what it actually costs to pay for thins the family has and how money works.

              Secondly, give children money to manage on their own. An allowance (零用钱) helps kids learn to save and spend money. However, once you decide on giving your kids an allowance, you’ll need a system to help them. Actually, you can divide the allowance into three parts and then put it into three different plastic containers: one each for spending, giving and saving. Dividing the money introduces kids to the idea that some money is for spending soon, some is for giving, and some is to be kept for when we need something later.

              Thirdly, help kids learn to spend money in a wise way. It’s a good idea to teach kids about making good use of their money, too. Research shows that spending on experiences tends to bring more happiness than spending on goods, and we can talk to kids about testing out this idea themselves. Have them check in with you months after a purchase to report how much they still use and enjoy what they’ve bought. Often, this teaches them that the pleasure of a purchase is flying by, while a pleasurable experience stays longer in their memories.

              Fourthly, put kids to work. All kids should have chores (家务) at home, because it helps them build confidence, and reminds them that we’re all part of a family, and that we should be responsible for it. When kids get older, encouraging them to do part-time jobs to earn money can also be a great experience.

              Lastly, get kids to realize that it is really important to give. If parents give, kids tend to give as well. However, you have to explain to them why giving money to help others is a good thing to do. For one thing, it is as a sort of duty, and for another, the amount we give away is a great predictor (预测) of how happy we are. Finally, teach them that communities are stronger when people know they can depend on one another.

              It’s another busy day for John. After a day of classes and a tiring soccer practice, he now has half an hour of free time to grab some dinner before rehearsal. He orders a large pizza with extra cheese and gobbles (狼吞虎咽) it down with time to spare. As he walks into the theater for rehearsal, John starts to feel nauseated (恶心的) and he has a burning feeling in the back of his throat. John can’ t understand what’s going on— he felt fine just a few minutes ago.

              Then, what on earth has happened to John? He has indigestion, a common digestive problem. Indigestion is just another name for an upset stomach. It usually happens when people eat too much or too fast, or certain food don’t agree with them. It might happen more often if you smoke, drink alcohol, or are stressed out, or don’t get enough sleep.

              Sometimes indigestion can be accompanied by heart burn. Despite its name, heartburn actually has nothing to do with your heart. It’s caused by stomach acid splashing up from the stomach and into the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. In addition to heartburn, if you have indigestion, you’ll probably have one or more of these signs like pain or burning in your upper stomach, uncontrollable burping(打嗝), and so on.

              Usually, indigestion only happens once in a while, like after eating certain foods that don’t agree with you. But you’ll want to see the doctor if you get indigestion even when the eating is just right or you’re exercising, and getting enough sleep. You may need to be examined or have stomach X- ray or other tests to make sure your indigestion is not a sign of another problem in your digestive system. Depending on what the doctor finds, you might need to make changes in your diet or take medicine.

              Some people can eat anything and never get an upset stomach. But others are more easily affected or upset by certain foods. If you discover you have a problem with particular foods, it’s best to limit them or skip them entirely. Besides avoiding problem foods, try to eat a few smaller meals instead of one or two really big ones. Find ways to reduce stress. Give your body a chance to digest food. Eat slowly and don’t eat a huge meal and immediately go to sports practice. Try to eat at least an hour before physical exercise, or eat afterwards. Well, you might still get indigestion once in a while, even if you follow these tips. But as long as your indigestion doesn’t go on for a long time or is not excessively painful, it’s probably nothing out of ordinary.
