(40 points)Text 1Its the oldest trick in the book: threaten the kids with a piece of coal, and theyll behave in the name of Santa Claus.Some people say that parents are purposely taking in their kids by lying to them about Santa. Is it purposely cheating or playing along with the fantasy? There are always those stories about the kindergarten teacher or parent who would tell the kids theres no Santa Claus, and theyd all start crying on the lost dreams.But if another teacher goes into a third-grade class and says there is a Santa Claus, theyll all laugh at her.What I say is that if theyre at the age when theyre still believing,why bother to end it?Then how long should parents pretend? Studies indicate that after eight,75 percent of kids dont believe.Thats the first “S” word that parents have to deal withits not sex. Its Santa.So the parent has to sit down and say it in a gentle way. “Listen,Santa did exist. He was a person who gave to others and now that youre older, you can give to others and be Santa,too.”Do you think if a kid who believes in Santa walks into a third-or-fourth-grade class, his friends are going to tell him in a gentle way?No.Theyre going to make fun of him, and the kid is going to run home crying ,saying you lied to him. We all remember how the news is broken to us, so if we all remember, then theres some significance or we would have forgotten it. And its better to have a memory if someone doing it nicely than some kids laughing at you.Santa is also used as an instrument of guilt, because Santa knows everything. So even if the kids did bad things and got away with them, Santa knew. Still, Santa alone is not a good behavioral tool. You cant, say, in January, play the Santa card to your childbecause Christmas is too far away.1、According to the first paragraph, parents should_.Atelling the kids that Santa does not existBlie to their children on the problem of Santa Claus
