Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness， fear， and anger， guilt emerges a little later， in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say "I’m sorry"； rather， they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends--and
their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt， in the right amount， to be a good thing.
In the popular imagination， of course， guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable--it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated.
"There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve， "says Amrisha Vaish， a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia， adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary--feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger， for example， may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.
And guilt， by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness， can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt， in other words， can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.
Viewed in this light， guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti， a psychology professor at the University of Toronto， suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies， Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt， which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa： High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.
In a 2014 study， for example， Malti looked at 244 children. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations， she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed chocolate coins， and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For the low-sympathy kids， how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones shared more， even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation. "That’s good news，" Malti says， "We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret."

How Seriously Should Parents Take Kid’s Opinions When Searching From a Home
In choosing a new home， Camille MeClain’s kids have a single demand： a backyard.
MeClain’s little ones aren’t the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing， and in many cases youngsters’ views weigh heavily on parents’ real estate decisions， according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2，000 U.S. adults.
While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions， realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial， personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have.
"The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process"， said Ryan Hooper， a clinical psychologist in Chicago.
"Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves， especially if it removes them from their current school or support system， " he said.
Greg Jaroszewski， a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates， said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home--but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities， if possible.
"Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home--without actually getting a choice in the matter， " said Adam Bailey， a real estate attorney based in New York.
"Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process， " Bailey said.
"Many of the aspects of homebuving aren’t a consideration for children， " said Tracey Hampson，
a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita， Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.
"Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise， but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions. " Hampson said.
"The other issue is that many children--especially older ones--may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows， " said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside ， Calif.
"They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us， " he said. "’HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It’s not shelter， it’s a lifestyle. With that mindset change come some serious money consequences. "
"Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally，" Norris said.
"Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time， " said Julie Gurner， a real estate analyst with FitSmallBusiness. com.
"Their opinions can change tomorrow， " Gurner said. "Harsh as it may be to say， that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions， but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.
This advice is more relevant now than ever before， even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children， despite the current housing crunch.

A.remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.

B.says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.

C.advises that home purchases should not be based only on children’s opinions.

D.thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in homebuying decisions.

E.notes that aspects like children’s friends and social activities should be considered upon homebuying.

F.believes that homebuying decisions should be based on children’s needs rather than their opinions.

G.assumes that many children’s views on real estate are influenced by the media.

It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot. He had such a pleasant， readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say， "I could write a book. I just haven’t the time. " Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot， contrary to popular opinion， did not find it easy in his early days of， as he put it， "having a go at the writing game".
While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent， the final， polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practising， re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors， he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way， but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.
