"Nowadays parents are too permissive withtheir children." Do you agree or
disagree withthis statement?
谈谈你对父母溺爱孩子这种现象的看法
Today, few people would defend the traditionalattitude to children. If you
recall what happened inold days, you would be astonished at the severeand strict
education for children, for instance, old-fashioned spanking was common
punishment forchildren. As a result, while the parents thusestablished their own
authority, the poor children would never recover from the dreadfultraumatic
experience when they grew up.
However, as you know, things often go to extremes. Nowadays, parents'
confidence in theirown authority has been greatly undermined. Countless articles
in magazines and newspapersand tv programmes publicize childcare. When so much
over-enthusiastic advice flying about,mum and dad just don't know what to do any
more. In the end, they do nothing.
So from early childhood, the kids are in charge and parents' lives are
regulated according tothe needs of their off spring. When the little dears
develop into teenagers, they take completecontrol. If the young people are going
to have a party, for example, parents are asked to leavethe house. Their
presence merely spoils the fun. What else can the poor parents do butobey?
In my mind, a child certainly needs love, and a lot of it. But the
excessive pe rmissiveness ofmodern parents is surely doing more harm than good.
The spread of juvenile delinquency islargely due to parental laxity. Mother,
believing that her little baobao can look after himself, isnot at home when he
returns f rom school, so little baobao roams the street. The
dividing-linebetween permissiveness and sheer negligence is very fine
indeed. |
