Rooster Morris is an author, entertainer, storyteller, musician, and composer. He has performed for over 4.5 million students in elementary schools, public libraries and museums. Rooster shares with the audience some of the stories in children’s books. Kids walk away from his performances, believing they can write, draw, perform, sing, or play a musical instrument. Most importantly, students walk away, believing reading will open the doors to every opportunity in life.
Everyone knows authors write books, but how many students actually have the opportunity to watch a published author read from their books? When a student has the advantage of meeting an author and has the opportunity to ask questions, they realize authors are people from far-away places. Rooster points out these misunderstandings and explains how he started writing.
Rooster talks of habits being one of the most important things in a person’s life. If people develop good habits, they will achieve their goals and be ready for anything. Rooster talks about how he wanted to play the fiddle(小提琴)when he was a young boy. He learns to make a habit of practicing the fundamentals. Rooster shows the kids the pay-off — he plays a song in front of the audience and brings the excitement to a new level.
Rooster will educate and entertain the audience. Many students begin writing after having seen Rooster’s program. When children hear someone they admire say, “You can do anything if you want to do it,” it motivates them into action.

More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems,and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression,the Shanghai­based Wenhui Daily reported.

The World Health Organization estimated that before 2020,the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent,and mental problem will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.

Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors,such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well,unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study.

A number of experts have also said the one­child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.

Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one­child families.

Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental well­being.

Yin Jingmiao,a teacher of the Beijing No.105 middle school,told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month.

“Students can be arranged to have 40­minute counseling sessions,” Yin said.
