Bad kids becomes good kids Today I found myself less busier than usual. I could do some thing for myself such as learning English, cooking some good meal which ofyen take time, taking care the shop more and cleaning the room... I also found myself less angry with my kids. For a long time, 1 month or more, I felt so stress every single day. My kids kept ignoring study and delaying what I told them, they got squarrel with each other... I kept teaching them all day, seemed doing nothing else. Now, they can study by themself half of the time, they try to finish lesson as fast as possible... I am not sure what made them good kids but I think they are bored of seeing me angry or I have changed: stop scolding at them and try to praise them as much as I can... I hope I can maintain the situation so that I will have more time to work. Thank you!

My Bad Kids Have Become Good Children

Today I found myself less busy than usual/not as busy as usual. I could do some things for myself such as learning English, cooking some good meals that often take time, managing the shop more, and cleaning the house. Best of all, I also found myself being less upset with my kids. For a long time, perhaps one month or more, every single day I had felt so stressed because of them. My kids kept refusing to study, and they took their time doing whatever I told them to do. Besides that, they also frequently got into quarrels with each other. As a result, having to watch them all day, in addition to teaching them, it often seemed as if I could do nothing else. Now, however, they can study by themselves without my help half of the time, and they actually try to finish their lessons as fast as possible. I am not sure what made them suddenly become good kids, but I think they had simply grown tired of me being angry at them. I, too, have changed, since I have stopped scolding them so much, and now, instead, now, try to praise them as much as I can. With any luck, I hope that this situation continues so that I will have more time to work, as well as to relax!

Hi, Molly! Good job! As usual, “Whatever changes I made....” I hope that this helps you, Jonathan**

*Subject-verb agreement: A kid becomes... Bad kids become... (A singular subject uses a verb that ends in “s.” Plural subjects use the verb’s base form. Thus, “A man walks home,” but the students walk home”). Exceptions to this rule, however are “I” and “You” (I walk home by myself. You walk home by yourself).

**Here in San Francisco, we are under a “Shelter In Place” order, so we can only go outside to go to the grocery store, to a hospital, or for some exercise (a walk in the park, around the block, etc). My workplace has shut down until further notice. While a huge inconvenience, it was done to slow the Coronavirus from overwhelming our health systems. I will try to stay active here on Italki, but if I “disappear” for a short while, you can understand the reason why! (*-^)

Bad kids become good kids

Today I found myself less busy than usual. I was able to do some things for myself like learning English, cooking a good meal (which usually takes too much time), taking care of the shopping and cleaning around the house... I also found myself less angry with my kids. For a long time, 1 month or more, I felt so stressed every single day. My kids kept ignoring their studies, dragging their feet when I told them to do something, getting into fights with each other... I kept teaching them all day, and it seemed like I couldn't accomplish anything else. Now that they can study by themselves half of the time, they try to finish lesson as fast as possible...

I am not sure what made them good kids but I think they are bored of seeing me angry or I have changed: I've stopped scolding them and try to praise them as much as I can...

I hope I can maintain the situation so that I will have more time to work.

Thank you!
