Bill Gates doesn't pretend he lives in an egalitarian(主张平等的)houhold.When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire Microsoft giant readily admits his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the
work raising the kids.
"My wife does 80%,"Gates told a crowd of Harvard students last Thursday.Gates spent two years there taking
math and computer science cours as a pre -law student,but never finished up his degree. "My-eldest graduates
from Stanford in June, so I'm optimistic she won't fall into my footsteps,"Gates joked
47They followed a 1970s "Love and Logic"parenting model.The core idea of the philosophy
is
centered on the idea of exerting emotional control.esntially minimizing emotional reactions like shouting or
scolding kids. 48Gates admits he and his wife haven't been perfect at carrying out the approach.
"Can you get rid of the emotion?You can't totally do it,"he said
Aside from ruling in hot-blooded parent tempers, the love and logic model also stress the importance of not
leaning into rewards for kids,but instead demonstrating unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not
what they do (or don't) achieve, like a poor test score.
"Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children," Fay wrote on his site."

The model is a bit like the ideal method. in that it pushes parents to focus on asking questions of their kids and
getting them to think about how to solve their own problems, instead of feeding them answers.
50However, he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids.
It wasn't the only way he t boundaries for his children while they were growin gup.None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old.And they will each get about $ 10 million of their parents fortune as
inheritance,a mere fraction of the giant's roughly $90 billion net worth."We want to strike a balance where they
have the freedom to do anything,but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing," Gates once told TED.
A.The model is an evidence-bad system of care that trains agencies and therapists to achieve better outcomes with
children and their families in areas of trauma and mental illness.
B.One of the greatest benefits of applying Love and Logic is that it helps us learn how to keep a tighter leash on our emotions and on our tongues.
C.Gates says the “Love and Logic”method is a far cry from the way he grew up
