Children are children after all, and most of them speak their mind. When they are just toddlers (幼儿),
they are all lovely and lively. And it's so interesting to watch them speak like a grown-up. But as they grow,
these same kids seem annoying and ill-mannered if they try to be a grown-up.
Conflicts (矛盾) go between parents and children. It's hard to tell who are right and who are wrong. A
child of 7-8 always finds some reasons to have a conflict with it's parents. Whether it is about some toy,
studies, a party or a company, there is always a difference between them. And it becomes worse when they
answer you back. Scientists tell us that children should be treated with care. Yes, sure they should respect
their elders.
We are partly responsible (有责任的) for this. At an early age we encourage children to behave like adults,
just because we find it funny. The kids on the other hand consider this same behavior as normal and get used
to it. And when it is not funny for us any more, we expect them to stop it, but by then it is already too late.
Only when they reach a certainmaturitywill the children realize that answering back and being rude are not
acceptable (可接受的). Until then, most of the time their behavior is difficult to change, unless by force
(暴力). And use of force is against the every good idea, as it weakens the child's confidence.
So it is one thing to bring a child into this world but quite another to make them into well mannered
citizens. The best way is to be a good example ourselves, as our children are the mirrors of us adults.
