Dr．Wang	Hi， there! I'm here to help with any of your problems， whether at school or at home．
Sophia	@ Dr． Wang What should say to my little brother？
	My problem is terrible． My mum gave us a new baby a couple of years ago． We were really happy then， but this lovely baby has grown up! He seems to have too much energy， and never stops running or shouting． The door doesn't help at all﹣he'll be knocking at it for ages． I can't study at home． I really can't stand this， but what should I say to four﹣year﹣old boy？ And my parents are around him all the time． They seem to forget everything about me． How I miss those sweet old days when we could just sit in the sofa! Can you help me out？
Dr． Wang	@ Sophia
	That's a common complaint． I know how awful it is when someone keeps knocking at the door， but doesn't that mean the little one wants to stay with you？ Just as you want to have your parents around， he needs your attention! If this doesn't make you feel better， ask your parents for some help． Just have a talk with your parents． Ask them to calm（　　） our little brother down or take him out when you are doing your homework． And tell them that you also need their attention! Family life might not always be as sweet as those old days． Sometimes we have to wait until what troubles us today becomes part of those sweet old days．
