Chinese behavior VS American behavior

                                                                     --Dandan
Did you know that not only everyone's behavior is not the same, but also parent’s behavior are different in different countries. In China and the US, the parents have a big difference between behaviors. They vary in the way they talk to their children, take care of children and the relationship they allow their children to have with people outside of the family.
Firstly, Chinese and American parents behavior are different in the way they talk with their children. In China, most of the parents are serious and strict when they talk with the children. They won't call their children" honey" or "sweetie". In America, the parents and children relationship is more like a friend. If children have any problems, they are willing to talk with the parent.
The different way parents talk with the children also affects the way parents take care of the children. In China, when a child is born, the whole family will take care of the child like a king. They will give anything their child wants. They won't bring their child outside when they still are a baby. However, in America, the parent won't care about this thing. They will bring their child wherever they want. When the children want something, the parents will consider if this is really good for the kid or not.
Finally, the way parents allow their children to communicate with people varies. As we know, some parents don't want someone they don't know to touch their children. They think it is not safe and their child will probably get hurt. On the other hand, in America, the parents won't care about this thing. They won't care if their child talks to a stranger, even if he or she is a foreigner.
There are many differences in the way parents in China and the US talk to their children, take care of their children and the type of relationship their children can have with other people. In the end, both pair of parents still love their children very much. In my opinion, I think the American parent behavior are more good for the child in the future. It is an important process of learning and from each other.

  3. Dandan,

    You've really noticed a lot of differences between the parenting behaviors of these two countries. How do you know so much? :)

    I think it would be really helpful for parents from two different cultures to share their ideas about parenting behavior so they can learn from each other. Nice essay!

  4. Are chinese parents strict? why they don't bring children outside? in your country, how do your parents call your name? my parents call me 'Sayo'. I thought Chinese parents grow their child very preciously.

  5. I don't think your parents are traditional. Because you have two sisters and you are all looked very quiet. So your parent must be gentle.
