大卫：我很想了解一下，中国的家庭教育是不是都跟"虎妈"一样，那么严格呀？ 汉生：以前是的，但现在越来越多的年轻父母倾向于接受西式的教育。 乐乐：对，以鼓励为主，相对平等的、宽松的教育方式。 大卫：那你们都比较认可西方国家的教育方式吗？ 乐乐：对，我父母就让我自由发展，不会总是批评我，限制我。我以后也打算给孩子一个宽松的环境。 汉生：不过，西方的教育方式也不是尽善尽美的，我还是比较赞同相对严格的教育方式，我们家的家教就是这样的。虽然西方比较难以接受严厉的中式教育，但我个人觉得西方社会对中式教育有一些误解，中式教育的严格，并非不尊重孩子，而是更高效地让孩子成功。中国不是有句古话嘛：严师出高徒。 大卫：哦，这个我听说过。严厉的老师才能教育出高水平的、能力强的学生。 乐乐：没错。不过，过于严厉的教育会让孩子失去创造力，失去学习的兴致。 汉生：我不这样看，如果没有严格的控制和限制，容易形成散漫的性格；一味的鼓励和表扬，孩子就无法了解自己的不足。而严格的教育可以让孩子形成好的习惯，可以开发孩子最大的潜能。 大卫：可是，像"虎妈"这样的家长，对孩子的要求也太多了，有N个"不准"：不准参加同学聚会；不准有一门功课成绩低于A，什么的。这也太苛刻了吧？！ 乐乐：我比较同意大卫的看法，我觉得家长对孩子应该宽容，给孩子一个自由的空间。这样孩子才有快乐啊。 汉生：你们说的也有道理。不过，我还是坚持自己的看法，严厉的教育更有效，更容易让孩子成功。 大卫：难怪《华尔街日报》说"中国妈妈更胜一筹"啊！听说"虎妈"的两个女儿就是成绩全A的"音乐天才"，所以严厉也不是坏事。那你将来也要做一个严厉的父亲喽？ 汉生：呵呵，我呀，还是先解决女朋友的问题吧！找到女朋友，再考虑这个问题也不迟。 乐乐：你一定要找个宽容的女朋友，否则将来你的孩子就惨了。 David: I would like to understand better this Chinese concept of parenting, "Tiger Mom", is it really that strict?
HS: It used to be, but nowadays more and more young parents are moving towards the western style of parenting.
LL: Right, encouragement takes center stage for this relatively equitable and liberal style of parenting.
David: So are the both of you more or less receptive of this western style of parenting?
LL: Yep, my parents gave me freedom to grow, they didn't criticize me all the time, nor did they impose restrictions on me. In the future, I intend to give my kids a liberal environment.
HS: But the western method of parenting is not entirely flawless, I favor a strict method, that's the environment I grew up in. Although Westerners find it hard to accept such strict upbringing, but I'm of the opinion that the western society may have a slight misunderstanding on the Chinese's style of parenting. Strict parenting doesn't mean we're demeaning the child, rather, it is a more effective way to guide the child towards achievement. An ancient Chinese saying goes, "The strict teacher produces a brilliant student."
David: Ah, I've heard of this before. Only when the teacher is strict can the student be outstanding and capable.
LL: That's right. But if parents are excessively strict, children will lose their creativity, they will lose the interest in their studies.
HS: That's not how I see it, if we don't enforcestrict (parental) controls and restrictions, children easily become undisciplined; children can't readily understand their shortcomings if we blindlyshower them with encouragement and praises. But with strict upbringing, children learn good habits, it can uncover a child's hidden potential.
David: But parents like "Tiger Mom", place too much expectations on their kids, there are endless "no's": no parties; no scores below A, and what not. That's pretty harsh!
LL: I quite agree with David's point of view, I think parents should be more lenient with their kids, give them some space. This way, the kids are happier too.
HS: What you guys said makes sense. But I'm still of the opinion that strict parenting is more effective, it's easier for the kid to succeed.
David: No wonder Wall Street Journal reported, "Chinese Mothers are Superior"! Apparently Tiger Mom's two daughters are "star musicians", so it isn't such a bad thing after all. So does this mean that you're gonna be a strict father?
HS: Ha ha, I have to get a girlfriend first! I'll think about this predicament after I get a girlfriend.
LL: You must get yourself a lenient girlfriend, otherwise your kids are doomed.
