son to the U.S., settled in the U.S. after graduation. I found a back foreign wife Susan. Today, grandson Toby has been 3 years old. This summer, my son applied for a visa to visit relatives. Spent three months in the United States, foreign wife Susan ways to educate their children, so my mother an eye-opener in China.
of the story: do your own
every morning, Toby woke up, Susan, to the breakfast table a release, to just keep running around tending to the. Toby climbed up on their own stool, drink milk, eat toast. Meal, he returned to his room, in the closet to find clothes, shoes, and then put their own. Toby, after all, only 3 years old, still unclear about the positive and negative children, can not distinguish left and right foot shoes. Toby once again wear pants on backwards, I quickly stepped forward to help him change, but was Susan stopped. She said that if he felt uncomfortable off on their own, re-dressed; if he did not feel any discomfort, it will be with him. All that day, Toby is dressed in his pants to run around, as Susan did not see the same.
again, Toby and the neighbor kids out to play, no more breathless to run home to the General Assembly, to Susan, said: you? Susan smiled and said: Since then, Toby had never wearing anti-pants.
I can not help but think, five or six years old my granddaughter will not use chopsticks, elementary school will not tie his shoe. Now boarding at the junior high school, she brought home every weekend do a lot of dirty clothes.
Story Two: Do not eat on an empty
day at noon, Toby disgruntled, refused to eat. Susan said that his few words, angrily pushing the plate a little Toby to the ground, spilled food on a plate in one place. Susan looked at Toby, said earnestly: laughed within herself, this mother and son, are all very stubborn!
afternoon, Susan and I discuss in the evening for me to cook Chinese food. I take the hint, Toby particular favorite Chinese food, it must be noon Susan Toby did not feel good to eat, let him eat more at night.
display cooking that night I did a Toby favorite Sweet and Sour Pork, shrimp oil boring, but also pasta made with Chinese-style cold noodles. Toby likes to eat the kind of noodle, full of little people can eat a big plate.
started dinner, Toby joyfully climbed the stool. But Susan came, took away his plate and knife and fork, said: to cry in tears, weeping, said:
I feel bad, and want to make Toby plea, say a good word,
教你如何制作过年熏鱼(鲅鱼), a wink to me, was surprised to find his son. Remember when I first came to the United States, his son told me that, in the United States, parents educate their children, others do not intervene, even if the elders are no exception. Helpless, I had to remain silent.
the meal, from beginning to end, the poor little Toby has been sitting in toy car, looked on helplessly while the three of us adults devour. This I understand that Susan really Chinese food I intended to do. I believe that next time, Toby would like to throw tantrums when their jobs will certainly remember their stomachs to see my parents and grandmother meal experience. Hungry taste bad experience, or face Moreover, their favorite food.
before going to sleep, with the whereabouts of Toby, Susan and I say good night. Toby carefully asked: After sleep sleep Open your eyes, you can eat? Toby shining.
most cases, Toby eat very positive, he did not want to Every time I see places to eat Toby, hard at breathing, his face sticky lips are food, I think of her granddaughter. She, like Toby so much, in order to coax her to dinner, a few adults holding jobs with the rear end of her run, she did not buy it, but also about the conditions: after eating a bowl of buying toys, eat a bowl of buying a Toys ... ...
Story III: eye for an eye, but also a man as the body
One day, we took Toby to the park to play. Soon, Toby and two girls playing on the kitchen game. Plastic pot, a small shovel, small plates, small bowl placed over the floor. Suddenly, a mischievous Toby picked up the pot, knocking his head hard on a girl a bit, the girl froze a moment, burst into tears. Another smaller number of young girls, see some cases, have been scared into tears. Toby did not expect about such serious consequences, would stand in amazement.
Susan walked up, opening and cleaning the whole matter, she said nothing, picked up the pot, hard knock to the head of Toby, Toby did not prepare for, all of a sudden fell to the grass, wah-wah burst into tears. Susan Toby asked: I'm sure he'll never do it.
Story Four: problems themselves
uncle Toby presented him with a light blue small bike, like Toby, as a baby, not let anyone touch. Neighbor girl Lucy is a good friend Toby, Toby several times begged to ride to his car, Toby did not answer.
time, when several children play together, while Lucy, Toby, do not pay attention, secretly ride car, sped away. Toby discovered, came to the Susan angrily complain. Susan is the mother of several children and chat with a cup of coffee, he smiled and said:
After a little while, Lucy was riding the car back. Toby saw Lucy, a will she fall to the ground, grabbed the car. Lucy sitting on the floor and cried. Susan picked up Lucy, to appease her for a while. Soon, Lucy and other children happily play again.
Toby will be riding their own cars, feel a little silly,
A Forever Friend 永远的朋友 , seeing that having so many children happy, he wanted to join, and feel a little embarrassed. He rubs up against Susan around, muttered: Toby rode slowly around the car
Lucy, coming near her when they turn back. Back and forth several times, do not know when to begin, Toby and Lucy and a big grin, downtown has become a group.
Story five: do parents raise the children's parents Susan
live in California, I heard I'm coming, they drove to visit us. Home to the guests,
扫除, Toby is very excited, run up and come down to earth rampant. He used to play with sand bucket filled with water, put the keg in the house walking around. Susan warned her several times, not the water spill to the floor, Toby ignored. Finally, Toby, or the bucket prostrate, and the water spilled over the floor. Excited little Toby do not feel wrong, and also proud to play barefoot treading water, the pants all wet. I quickly find out the mop for mopping the floor. Susan grabbed the mop from my hand to Toby and said: Susan apart from anything else, directly to the storage room he pulled, closed confinement. Toby heard crying inside the earth-shattering issue, I feel bad bad, want to go pick him out. Toby's grandmother has stopped me and said: He took a swab of his two struggling with high water drag on the ground clean. Then he took off his pants, carry in their hands and bare buttocks into the bathroom, splinters from the clothes to wash.
Toby's grandparents looked amazing I look, smiled with deep wisdom. It left me with deep feelings. In many Chinese families, parents discipline their children, often cause a
Later, I chat with Toby's grandparents, the mention of the matter, Toby's grandfather said the words, so I was very impressed. He said that children are the parents of the child, parents must respect the child's education. The child is small, but it is born diplomat, when he saw the differences between family members, he will be very clever at exploiting loopholes. This is not only no benefit to improve his behavior, it will lead to increasingly serious problem, and even more other problems. Moreover, conflicts between family members, family atmosphere will bring disharmony children more insecurity, the psychological development of children adversely affected. Therefore, both parents educate their children with grandparents in the event of a disagreement on the issue, or the husband and wife have different concepts of education, are not in front of children in conflict.
Story six: do not condone the child's desire to
Toby's grandparents lived in the house for a week, ready to return to California. Two days before leaving, Toby's grandfather solemnly asked his daughter: give her a pair of roller skates as a gift to the Christmas toy excavator as a gift to buy him! Toby went to the supermarket, he pointed to the toy excavator, said:
mother's love child
Although Susan Toby so strict, Toby incredibly loving mother to Quedui. He was playing outside, it will collect some nice flowers or leaves his considered beautiful, solemnly given to mother; someone gave him a gift, he would call her mother to join him apart; what delicious, but also always leave half of it to her mother.
think of many Chinese children's ignorance and indifference of parents, I had to admire my foreign wife. In my opinion, the child's problems in education, the United States have much to her mother Chinese mothers learn.
