问题     It is not easy to talk about your feelings when you are four weeks old. That is a shame, because from the moment we are born we have a lot to say. If parents knew how to respond, troubled babies might be a lot less likely to grow into troubled kids.
    For all the progress that science has made in unraveling the secrets of the child’s brain, it is moms and grandmothers who have always had the right idea. A child with problems, they insist, makes no secret of it from the start, coming into the world timid, moody, jumpy or worse. A growing body of research shows that newborns do tip their emotional hand early on, giving parents a chance to take control of behavioral problems and maybe even prevent conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or depression from fully taking hold. Says Lawrence Diller, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco: "Using parenting techniques fit for a child’s personality can improve things dramatically for both parents and kids. "
    The idea of telltale(流露)infant behavior is not new. In the 1950s, husband-and-wife psychiatric team Stella Chess and Alexander Thomas, both now 87, identified nine factors of temperament—activity level, attention span, adaptability, intensity, distractibility, mood, sensory threshold, response to challenge and predictability of functions such as eating and sleeping—that emerge at about four weeks and indicate a lot about personality. "At one month, behavior starts to be discernible," says Chess today. "These differences define it. "
    Perhaps the best way to keep a difficult baby from becoming an impossible child is to practice preventive parenting—something some parents do naturally. When a baby is resistant to novelty, parents must use artifice to present new things. Well before the first day of preschool, parents can begin slowly exposing the child to the idea: go for a drive to the school one day, return for a walk around the halls the next. "Give the child lead time," says Dr. William B. Carey, professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, "but insist the change be made. "(354 words) [br] "Parenting technique" is put forth by______.
