China generally teaches children to have an ideal, ambitious and successful life (of course, there are also problems that attach too much importance to the so-called "success"), but Americans usually treat their children as "anything you want, as long as you don't break the law." Americans and China educate their children in different ways. Generally speaking, Americans are too lax about their children, and China's parents are too tight, which is embodied in the following aspects:

1. Get dressed

The children in China are all wrapped up and dressed like a small bucket in winter. Look at American children. They often wear less clothes than adults. In the weather of more than ten degrees, they still wear short-sleeved shorts and often run barefoot in the yard at home.

feed

Friends will never understand why the children of China family are all 3 or 4 years old, and they are still fed by adults. If you go to a restaurant and meet a family with children, this situation is even more obvious: every family in China has an old man, sometimes more than one or two, plus young parents and a child. Sitting at the table, at least one person should be responsible for feeding. Often one adult says to another after eating, you eat and I'll feed it. If it is always fed by an adult, then this person will generally not eat anything. When Australian families eat around the table, they will put their children in high chairs, put something that children can eat on plates, and even grab a prawn or hollow powder for him. Adults don't care, they should eat and talk. Of course, a child of a few years old must be eating backwards, with his hands all over his face, but he is usually overjoyed and particularly cute. In Australia, children usually eat by themselves after they are two years old, and their parents don't feed them at all. Moreover, there is no old man to help the couple.

go on foot

I often see a little guy stumbling around my home or in the mall but in high spirits, usually one or two years old. American parents encourage their children to walk by themselves, even at home. Adults do what adults do, while younger ones wander around by themselves or play with dogs. The most typical scene of China family is that two or three-year-old children are passed from one adult to another. For example, if you ask an adult, a friend in China will say: How can a child walk so far when he is so young?

play

American families are different from China families. With my parents' friends in China, what I hear most is "Don't do this!" "Don't touch that!" "Don't go there!" "Look out!" Eyes are tense. Once playing in the backyard of a friend's house in China, their two-year-old boy ran to the faucet in the yard. There is a small plastic bucket under the tap, which is filled with water. Mom immediately said, alas, don't go there, it's dangerous! What puzzled me at that time was that I didn't know what danger a small bucket of water only reaching the child's knees would bring to the child under the care of two adults. Of course, it is not only dangerous, but also wet and dirty, which parents in China think is absolutely impossible. Therefore, when many parents in China just sent their children to local kindergartens, they found it incomprehensible that the children there spent most of their time sitting in the sandpit playing with sand.

weep

I'm afraid it's hard to avoid children crying. It is usually China children who cry for a long time in public places. It may be coincidence or probability, but this phenomenon is shared by many people, including friends in China.

In the supermarket, I often hear such words: "Mike, please put the canned fish back." Lucy, we don't buy chocolate biscuits today. Let's put them back. Mike and Lucy are usually four, five to ten years old. If they still have something that their parents don't want to buy, their parents will repeat it over and over again: please put it back, with special emphasis on the word "please". Usually, children put things back.
