Last month，the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate（辯論）on the topic "Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances（家庭財(cái)政）with their kids？".Here are some opinions from Lisa，one of the students who thinks it is a good idea.
Most parents believe it is not proper to tell their kids about how much they make and how much they spend，so most families don't talk about money with their kids.They basically feel it is not their concern.You could easily agree.But is it really none of our business？Doesn't our parents' income（收入）affect us？They use the money to pay for food，clothing and shelter.If they lost their jobs and became unemployed，wouldn't that affect us，too？
I'm not going to say parents should show their kids every bill before paying it or that they should ask their kids for advice on big financial decisions，but I will say they should keep kids involved and informed.It is part of teaching them about money and life.Kids follow their parents' every move and learn from them.
Parents have to teach their kids about money because kids don't learn it in school.As a parent，it's necessary to teach them about saving，investing and staying away from credit（賒欠）.Also，parents have to manage their own money well if they really want to set an example.
So I think it's a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances with their kids.Tell them how much your salary is.It might help them decide which career to choose.Tell them how you spend your own money and talk to them before you make big purchases such as a new car.Include them in the process so that they know how it works and are satisfied with it.You can include them more and more as they get older.Don't make money a taboo（禁忌）issue in your home.

2．One teacher praises a student by saying "You're so smart!" Another teacher says "You must have worked really hard at this!" Which student does better in school？Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better.Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists（心理學(xué)家）looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise.Some students were told that they were good at a task.They didn't try very hard the next time.Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task.They worked even harder the next time.The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill.They didn't think they could do any better.This is called a fixed mindset（思維模式）.The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying.This is called a growth mindset.People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow；people can do better and learn new skills.If they work hard，they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed？They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability.When students succeed，teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence（智力）or talent.When students fail，they should be told how they can do better.Teachers，parents and students need to value effort，not intelligence.
