passage. In both China and Denmark children
are{{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}and they receive a great deal of
attention.However,the way children are raised and,consequently,how they behave
are quite different in the two societies.As an anthropologist by profession,I
have done research on family{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}},with
special emphasis on children,in urban Beijing.From my research,I find that the
biggest difference between children in China and Denmark lies not in the number
of children。but rather in how parents{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}}
{{/U}}their children. I believe it is a grave mistake
to{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}a child of free,unorganized time in
which it can do absolutely as it likes;such time is linked to the growth of true
creativity.As anyone can see from the large number of overweight children
here,Chinese children aren't getting enough exercise.They also lack the
basic{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}skills-how to cook,clean,sew and
keep house-that all Danish children,boys and girls alike,learn at home or in
special classes at school.What is worse is how poor Chinese kids are at{{U}}
{{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}.They often have bad manners and depend on
adults to guide them in relating to other people. Danish
children are broad-minded and{{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}.They
are encouraged to do all kinds of work,{{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}}
{{/U}},creative and practical.They get a lot of exercise in the course of
unorganized running which Danish adults do not at all regard as a waste of
time.On the other hand,Danish children are often rather unfocused in their
pursuit of their interests.I believe that Danish parents put too little stress
on{{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}and persistence once their children
have started exploring an area of interest,whatever it might be.In this
respect,Chinese children are without doubt superior. In fact I
believe that a contented child can learn more and much more easily than a child
under a lot of strain.Chinese parents must 1earn the{{U}} {{U}} 10
{{/U}} {{/U}}of unfettered imagination,play and wide experience if their
children are to become healthy,happy and creative adults.
