VII. Child care.

Q: When do people usually start to have their own children?

I would say, people normally have their own children after they've been married a few years.

So usually... yes, in their late twenties. Then... I find, people are generally starting to have children, I mean, it can vary. I have some friends now, who are starting to have kids in their early twenties, but for the most part it's a little later.

Q: Is there any financial support provided for those, who have babies?

Depending on what your income is you can get different social supports from the government, to apply to different things. Depending which company you work for, it's likely that you'll be able to be given a long maternity leave to have your child, and that would extend on to when your child's young, so that you could take care of it for a long time. When it's young, we don't have to return for work, and beyond that would be something given by your company, but there is also government plans and place to you could apply for certain... day care benefits, things like this.

There are still young mothers and young families, would get a what's called 'a baby bonus'. So it would help you to support a young child, just so that the government, I guess, would help insure, that no child could be left in poverty -would be the goal.

Senior sister – старшая сестра

Projects.

  1. Read the following difficult situations. Discuss the problems in pairs/ groups. Do you have any ideas of how to help the young people?

  • My sister has just had a baby. She still lives at home with us and it’s really annoying. It’s so crowded and noisy. The baby seems to cry all through the night and everyone seems to be always tired. I wish my sister could move out, but she can’t cope on her own.

  • My problem s that I can’t get to sleep at night without having the TV on loudly. I’ve tried to get to sleep without it, but I can’t. My brother gets really annoyed because we have to share the bedroom and the TV keeps him up. What can I do?

  • My dad runs a football team. I’ve played in the team or a couple of years, but I don’t want to play any more. I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to and I have better things to do with my time. My dad will go mad when he finds out that I don’t want to play any more. What can I do?

  • My daughter is a student and she is very bad with money. Every month she spends all her money on clothes and going out, and then doesn’t have enough for books, etc. I tell her that she should be more careful, but our Granny secretly gives her the extra money. I don’t know what to do.

  • I’m nineteen. I have been going out with my girlfriend Lucy since I was sixteen. My parents do not seem to like Lucy. They have never actually said they dislike her, but they are silent when I talk about her. Now I have stopped bringing her to our house, and don’t talk about her with my parents.

  • A few years ago I was a bit overweight. I’m quite slim now, but I’m worry about putting on weight again. I always miss breakfast and lunch. In the evening after a very small meal I eat chocolate and crisps. My mother tries to force me to eat three meals a day. I think she doesn’t want to understand my problem.
