What’s so bad about American parents,anyway?
\x05By Brigid Schulte
\x05It wasn’t that long ago that American parents were gripped with Tiger Mother anxiety.Did we overpraise our kids in the name of promoting self-esteem?Were we forfeiting an Ivy League future for them if we didn’t force them to practice endless hours of violin or rip up birthday cards that weren’t perfect?Were we,as Amy Chua said in her best-selling memoir,“Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” raising children who were “soft” and “entitled?”
\x05Now,though,it’s the French who have it figured out.Just like Chua’s book,journalist Pamela Druckerman’s recently released “Bringing Up Bebe” — which lauds the “wisdom” of French parents,who love their children but don’t live for them the way American parents do — has hit the bestseller lists.Another new parenting-by-comparison book,“How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm,” extols the virtues of the Argentines,who keep Baby up late for special occasions,and the Japanese,who let their kids fight it out.
\x05Such frenzied fascination with foreign parenting raises a question:Are American parents really that bad?
\x05The simple answer is no.Of course we love our children and want what’s best for them.Our problem is that we’re not sure what,exactly — in our driven,achievement-oriented country — is best.Perhaps instead of snapping up the latest foreign fad or obsessing over every international test score ranking,American parents would do well to look no further than a very American ideal:the pursuit of happiness.
Researchers who analyze what people do with their time have found that,on average,American parents indeed spend more time with their children than parents in other developed countries.(French fathers?From time studies,you’d think they didn’t even have children.) American mothers who work outside the home — and that’s three-fourths of all moms,many of whom work full-time — spend more time with their children today than stay-at-home mothers did in the 1960s.They do so by forgoing sleep,personal care,housework and any shred of personal leisure.Their “free time” is largely spent with their kids.
\x09Still,surveys show,they worry it isn’t enough.And new studies are finding that the same breathless time stress is becoming an issue for young American fathers,who,like mothers,are juggling intense demands at work and increasingly intensive standards for what it means to be a good parent.

1.什么事这么坏的关于美国的父母怎样?
杰布里姬的
这并不是很久以前,美国父母老虎抓住母亲的忧虑.我们是我们的孩子在这个名字过奖过奖促进自信?我们有一个常春藤盟校的没收他们的未来,如果我们没有强迫他们练习无止境的小提琴或剖开生日卡片不完美?是我们,作为艾米蔡细历说,在她畅销的回忆录,“战斗圣歌,老虎的母亲,“提高儿童的“软”和“资格吗?”
现在,虽然它的法国人把它搞清楚.就像蔡的书,记者帕梅拉•杜克曼关于最近公布的“抚养Bebe”——它高明的“智慧”的法国父母,他们爱他们的孩子却不活在他们父母所做的那样——美国人袭击了畅销书排行榜.另一个新parenting-by-comparison书,“如何保持温暖,爱斯基摩人婴儿”的美德extols阿根廷队,谁让婴儿晚在特殊的场合,和日本,谁让他们的孩子战斗到底.
这样的狂热迷恋国外养育提出了一个问题:美国父母真的那么糟吗?
简单的答案是否定的.当然,我们爱自己的孩子,希望什么是最好的.我们的问题是,我们并不确定,到底——在我们的驱动,achievement-oriented的国家——是最好的.也许不是抢购最新的外国fad或纠缠于每一个国际的测试中得分排名,美国父母们能做得很好,看起来最多不超过一种非常美国式的理想:追求幸福的权利.
2.研究人员分析人们做什么自己的时间已经发现,平均来看,美国家长的确花了更多的时间与他们的孩子比其他发达国家的父母.(法国列祖吗?从时间学习时,你会认为他们甚至没有孩子.)美国的母亲到家庭外面去工作,那是妈妈的四分之三,其中许多人——全职工作有更多的时间与孩子在全职母亲今天比1960年代的时候.他们这样做的放弃睡眠、个人护理用品、做家务、任何一丝个人休闲.他们的“自由时间”主要是花在孩子身上.
仍然,调查显示,他们担心这是不够的.最新的研究发现,上气不接下气时间压力是相同的年轻的美国人成为一个问题列祖,像母亲强烈地要求工作和日益激烈的标准,是一个好父母.

孩子你这叫作弊哦~~~好歹20块钱呢，就自己有道改改吧
