答案 Strict Parents: Dancing with Wolves? Every parent wants to raise his or her child to be a well-rounded person. However, the means to achieve this end may differ greatly. The recent emergence and promotion of strict and even violent parenting methods, represented typically by Tiger Mom in U.S.A. and Wolf Dad who indeed managed to send three out of four of his children to the prestigious Beijing University, may seem workable at the first sight. But as far as I can see, such methods are shortsighted and should be avoided since they would only result in loss of childhood happiness as well as future potentials. To start with, the adaptation of inappropriately strict parenting methods deprives children of their childhood happiness. Childhood is the most beautiful and precious time of one’s life since a child is innocent and free from pressure. Kids should be allowed plenty of opportunities, attempts and even failures because when a child grows up, he/she will not have as much freedom. Enacting strict timetables and course plans and enforcing it with violence, therefore, are simply not the right way to treat children, whose nature is active, carefree and unrestrained. More significantly, as Sigmund Freud has remarked, unhappy and dissatisfying childhood may lead to serious psychological problems. Tiger Moms and Wolf Dads should probably take this point into account before they decide the way they nurture their children. Moreover, such parenting methods may result in the loss of future potentials. Tiger Moms and Wolf Dads may pride themselves on securing their children into a top university in China, but they have ignored the fact that under the current exam-oriented education and evaluation system, entering into a good university doesn’t necessarily secure success. Their methods work at the moment because they have successfully trained their children into soldiers, if not machines, who are good at listening to and obeying orders. What may be a point of concern is how well can these children cope with different matters when they face a world with no directions, no clear regulations and definitely no orders from their parents. Their innovation and intuition have been limited or even murdered by their parents. Sadly, these are the two most important qualities in a competitive world. To conclude, nurturing children with extremely strict and even violent methods is certainly not recommended. It is without doubt an unwise way applied at the expense of children’s childhood happiness as well as future potentials.
