One day when Jack was walking in the park，he saw a woman，who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench with a dog beside her．The dog was looking up at the woman．   

      Jack walked up to the woman and said，“Hello，Sue，how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?” “Of course，please sit down，’’Sue said．Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench，and they talked quietly together．The dog continued to look up at Sue，as if waiting to be fed．

      ‘‘That’s a nice dog，isn’t he?” Jack said，pointing at the animal．

      “Yes，he is．He’s handsome He’s a bit of a mixture，but that’s not a bad thing．He’s strong and healthy．’’

      “And hungry,” Jack said，“He hasn’t taken his eyes off you．He thinks you’ve got some food for him．”

      “That’s true．”Sue said．“But I haven’t．’’

      They both laughed and then Jack said，“Does your dog bite（咬）?”

      “No，’’Sue said，“He’s never bitten anyone．He’s always gentle and friendly．’’

      Heating this，Jack held out his hand and touched the animal’s head．Suddenly it jumped up and bit him．

      “Hey!” Jack shouted．“You said your dog didn’t bite．‘’

      Sue replied in surprise，“Yeah，I did．But this is not my dog．My dog’s at home．’’

Some children are born bosses. They have a need to make decisions, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. Too much rule in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Family expert John Taylor says, “Children have secret feelings of weakness. They are always trying to feel safe. ”It’s the parents’ duty－not the child’s－to provide safety.
When a “boss child’’ doesn’t learn limits（限制）at home, troubles will appear outside the family. The child may have trouble obeying（遵守）teachers, for example, or keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways.
Bossy kids are often unusually bright. Their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. Bossy kids usually work more on the mother. It’s important for both parents to know their child’s weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up.
Even as you try to be kind—to a point—don’t give up your parental ruling post. Instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is.
Good manners are important to family. Show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. Try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. Then reward（奖励）him with a hug（拥抱）and words such as “Thank you. I like it when you listen to me.” Over time good manners will become associated（联结）with pleasure.
