D
A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying “No” to their children. They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own. Even spanking (打屁股) is back.
While today’s parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (时代) – when children were seen, spanked, but also heard – there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around
puzzled parents struggling to restore order.
JantheaBrigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: “The problem is that parents don’t want all that controlling things. What they want is to be able to discipline (管教) their children through teaching and encouraging.”
According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children. He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment. He teaches a method called ―stand and think‖, where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right. Mr.Biddulph understands parents using spanking, but he is against it. ―The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge. As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 11pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight.‖
―There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way.‖ says John Rosemond, an American who has won a huge following by calling for ―parent power‖. It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.
