While traveling for various speaking appointments, I frequently stay overnight in the home of a family and am assigned to one of the children's bedrooms. In it, I often find so many toys that there's almost no room - even for my small lavatory or toilet kit. And the closet is usually so tightly packed with clothes that I can barely squeeze in my jacket.
I'm not complaining, only making a point. I think the tendency to give children too many toys and clothes is quite common in American families. I think in far too many families not only do children come to take their parents' generosity for granted, but also the effects of this can actually be somewhat harmful to children.我四处奔波，应约作各种演讲，常在别人家里过夜，也常被安排在孩子的卧室里。我发现孩子房间里的玩具实在太多，甚至连我小小的梳妆盒也无处可放。壁橱通常也是塞满了衣服，我几乎无法把夹克衫塞进去。
我不是在抱怨，只是在表明一种观点。我发现父母给孩子们买的玩具和衣服越来越多，这种倾向在美国家庭已是司空见惯。我认为在很多家庭中，孩子们都把家长的慷慨大方视作理所当然的事情，而且这种做法的后果实际上对孩子们来说也是有害的。
