28-1 Lesson 8-19-1
Every child has obeyed their parents in one way or another. P
Most parents choose the best things for their kids. P
That is why parents try to protect their children from hearing disturbing stories. P
Yet parents forget that their children know more than they think. P
Parents need to learn to consider their children as equals. P
You should regard others with respect and sincerity. P
Thus, parents should treat their children with respect if they want their children to respect them. P
28-2 Lesson 8-19-2
It is normal for children to follow their parent's advice. P
Parents want only the best for their children. P
Parents sometimes go overboard in preserving their children's innocence. P
What parents don't know is how much their children are still exposed to despite their best efforts to shield them. P
Parents need to treat their children like young adults. P
Before you act, you should think about how you would like to be treated by others. P
That is why parents should show children respect if they want that respect in return. P
28-3 Lesson 8-19-3
It is natural for children to listen to their parents. P
Parents always want the best for their children. P
Therefore, parents seem to be overprotective. P
However, parents don't realize how their seemingly innocent children know more about this world than they expect. P
Parents should remember not to treat their children like helpless babies. P
You should treat others the way you want to be treated. P
With this in mind, a parent should treat their children with respect if they want to receive that respect in return. P
28-4 Lesson 8-20-1
Americans leave tips for waiters, taxi drivers, and pizza deliverers. P

At restaurants, fifteen percent of your bill is expected. P
Bellboys should get at least one to two dollars for each bag. P
Salon workers usually get three to four dollars per person. P
Pizza delivery boys usually receive about one to two dollars per pizza. P
The most important principle in tipping is that the tip amount must be reflective of the quality of service provided. P
28-5 Lesson 8-20-2
Americans give tips to workers who have jobs in restaurants, hotels, and beauty salons. P
This is because these workers are usually paid minimum wage. P
One must always remember to leave tips when it's necessary. P
There is no set formula for tipping, but at a restaurant you should tip 15% of your total. P
Bellboys in hotels should receive about a dollar or two per suitcase. P
Nail artists should receive three or four dollars in tip. P
Pizza deliverers get tipped depending on the distance between the pizza place and the house. P
Above all, the amount of tip should reflect the degree of service that is given. P
28-6 Lesson 8-20-3
People in America usually leave tips in places like restaurants, hotels, and beauty salons. P
This is because people who have these kind of jobs usually get minimum wage. P

Hotel bellboys usually get one to two dollars per bag. P
Manicurists should get about three to four dollars in tips. P
Pizza delivery boys get about one to two dollars. P
However, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you should tip according to the service received. P
28-7 Lesson 8-21-1
Parents expectations are sometimes so high that children don't get to fulfill their childhood dreams. P
Parents will even go through terrible financial hardships to send their kids to the best schools in the country. P
Often times these children are isolated from the social world of their peers. P
Parents do not realize the harm that this kind of treatment is causing their children. P
Education may be important, but not as important as enjoying life. P
If parents want what is best for their children, they should learn to be more flexible. P
28-8 Lesson 8-21-2
Gifted children tend to skip their childhood because their parents demand too much from them. P
Parents will do anything they can to give their children the highest education. P
These children are required to lock themselves in their rooms all day and study. P
Parents do not understand that this is not the best way to raise a child. P
Although education is important, children should have the freedom to run around and play. P
In order for children to make the best of their childhood, parents should let kids be free to explore and discover the world as children. P
28-9 Lesson 8-21-3
Most gifted children lose their childhood because their parents push them too hard. P
Some parents will stop at nothing to give their children the best education. P
These children are forced to study all day long. P
This is not the best way to rear a child. P
Nothing is more important in life than enjoying every moment to the fullest extent possible. P
In order to bring out the best in children, parents should learn to be flexible and forgiving. P
