Q: My younger brother tore up (撕坏) my workbook one afternoon. My mother said he was just a child so I shouldn't blame (责备) him. I think it's so unfair. What should I do? —Ashley

Dear Ashley, I think everyone with younger brothers or sisters has had your experience. I'm sure that you want justice (公正). It sounds like that you want your parents punish (惩罚) him. But I don't think it will be very helpful. Young children have little understanding of what is important. So he has no idea why that book is important. If someone punishes him, he will be confused (迷惑的). He may still not know why he is wrong. In other words, this is a chance for you to teach him something. Give him a book and crayons so that he can draw. You can draw together with him. In this way, he will learn that a book is something we love and enjoy, not something we can tear up. He will also get some good time with his older sister. —Daniel

Dear Ashley. I also have a little brother. He was very naughty (淘气的) and he always tore up my things. At first, I was angry and always shouted at my mother for it. But I soon found it was not a good way. Later I told him that those things were important to me. And I asked him: “Will you be sad if I tear up your things?" Then he understood it. So don't worry! Little kids are so young that we can't punish them. But we can talk with them patiently (耐心地). If you do it kindly, he will listen to you. —Betty

The Ministry of Education (教育部) wants students to practice their sports skill. It wants to make homework for physical education classes. It also wants to cut down homework for math and language.

Physical education helps improve children's health in a big way. There was a survey in 2019. It said that as high as 53. 6% of primary and secondary school students were shortsighted (近视的)，and 81%among high school students. More physical activities helped with eyesight problems in children. The survey also said 15. 7 of Grade 1 students had eyesight problems. But in Grade 6, it was 59%. Those six years were important for helping with their eyesight.

40 minutes of outdoor activities every day helps a lot. It can help students to relax their eyes. It can also help their bodies to have vitamin D. For preschool children, they'd better have outdoor sports activities every day. For those aged between 7 and 12, they'd better exercise for at least an hour every day. After outdoor activities, children can have a good sleep. This will help their bodies grow faster.

Do you play with your phone before bedtime? According to a US study, looking at screens at night can cause us to sleep badly.

In the evening, our bodies make melatonin (褪黑素)，Melatonin helps us feel sleepy and relaxed. It's an important part of our sleep cycle (周期). However, our electronic screens stop that cycle from working normally. That's because phones, computers and TVs make blue light. Blue light stops our bodies from making melatonin. Even just a little bit of blue light can make a difference. Eight minutes of blue light can keep our brain (大脑) "awake”for another hour, according to the study. Even if we fall asleep, we may have lots of dreams. Our brain won't have a good rest.

It's even worse if you play an exciting game before going to bed. Games make our hearts beat faster, so we have a harder time falling asleep. Then, when we fall asleep, we don't get enough "deep sleep". So next day we will feel very tired.

Use these following tips to get a good night's sleep.

★Have a relaxing habit every night. Take a warm shower, or read a book, and then you can relax yourself.

★Sleep in a dark, quiet room and the room is not too warm or too cold. This can help you fall fast asleep.

★Count sheep. It's the oldest way, but it can really work! So if you can't get to sleep, try this one.

★Don't eat a big meal or have caffeine, but you can drink some milk. Don't run around or exercise for three hours before bedtime.

They said people who regularly ate tofu and miso were 10 percent less likely to die from diseases than people who ate no soybean products. Eating soybean-based food cut the risk( 风险) of death from heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Eating fermented soy products(发酵豆制品) lowered the risk of death.
