Mother Tongue: This development can take place through the medium of any language, so use of the mother tongue can be encouraged, since it is via this language that parents will be more fluent and can convey more complex meaning to their children. When you explain this to parents, ask them to talk, tell stories and use books in the mother tongue at home. They could also use the simple reading books that are now available in various lan¬guages, sometimes with English translations (e.g. The Snowy Day, published by Bodley Head). An alternative is to use books which contain space for texts in other languages, such as The Terraced House Books, published by Methuen.
During the following decade, schools and education authorities were expected to establish language policies that would recognise and support a variety of mother tongues. Bilingual children were to be considered an advantage in the classroom. The Cox Report (1988) reit¬erated this viewpoint, suggesting that 'these children would make greater progress in English if their mother tongue skills were encour¬aged and valued' (Cox 1988, p. xx).See Also Mother Country:Spanish conquests were ex¬tended throughout South America and the Carib¬bean area, parts of North America, and even into the Pacific in the 16th and 17th centuries. The development of shipping made possible these ex¬plorations and the degree of trade communication that was established between the mother country and the colonies. The empire was destined to disintegrate, however, perhaps largely because of the failure of Spain to consolidate her col¬onies into an effective empire economy and to ex¬tend the benefits of the mother country's civiliza¬tion to them.
When tension developed between the colonies and the mother country after the end of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), Paul Revere emerged as one of the leaders of the group of artisans who identified themselves with the critics of the policies of the mother country. As a Mason he had already come to be associated with James Otis, Joseph Warren, and other libertarians; he now became a member of various Whig groups, organized and unorganized, such as the Sons of Liberty, the North End Caucus, and the Long Room Club. He was probably a witness of, al¬though not certainly a participant in, the Stamp Act riots, the looting of Thomas Hutchinson's house, and the celebration over the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766.
On The Other Hand See Expectant Mother:Mother¬hood not only gives satisfactions; it also demands sacrifices—considerable drudgery is often involved. The mother cannot expect to have the freedom she knew before she had a baby to care for. Yet she should not go to the extreme of devoting herself exclusively to the baby. It is better for the expectant mother to take a realistic view in advance than to be completely disillusioned after the baby is born.
The fact that the expectant mother was once amused by the clowns at a circus cannot be offered as the reason why the child acts foolishly when he grows up.
Birthmarks often suggest curious connections with something the mother has thought or done. However, it is simply coincidence that a birthmark resembling a crab appears on a child whose mother was frightened by a crab at some time during the prenatal period. In Little Pierre, Anatole France makes the following entertaining comment: |
