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.
