I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can  21  it, they will certainly send them to the best universities. But they need not feel  22  if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a   23  . There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and   24   ones who can’t afford to pay.
When children grow up and want to   25  , their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the   26   to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a   27   not an obligation (责任，义务).
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children a personal   28  . A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly   29   to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so   30  , so afraid of failing that he (or she) won’t try at all. Of course they should be  31   corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves   32  . All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate (宽容) them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand   33  . When criticisms (批评) are really needed, they should be   34   with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around   35   to build their lives. This means teaching them to   36   the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed and ____37____. A child who is lied to will   38 . A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.
No child asks to be   39  . If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child    40     .
