They Are Just Kids 他們還是孩子

In China, when children make mistakes, the parents will tell others that they are just kids and want others to forgive their children. It seems so reasonable for small kids to make mistake, because they are young and reckless. While for most parents in western countries, parents take different attitudes towards their kids when they make mistakes. The parents will not have violent act, instead, they will educate the kids and let them realize their bad behavior. I appreciate the foreign parents’ way, as they educate children in the first moment and won’t find excuse for their mistakes. Small age is not the reason to get away from responsibility. If the wrong acts are not corrected immediately, then it is possible for the kids to continue the mistake, someday become big mistakes.

在中國，當孩子犯了錯時，父母都會跟別人說他們還只是孩子，希望別人原諒自己的孩子。這似乎成了孩子們犯錯理所當然的借口，因為年輕，所以可以無視后果。而對于大多數西方國家的父母來說，他們對孩子犯錯誤有著不一樣的態度。西方父母不會使用暴力行為，相反，他們會教育孩子，讓他們意識到自己的不良行為。我很欣賞外國父母的行為方式，他們會在第一時間教育孩子，而不是找借口。年紀小不是推脫責任的理由。如果不立即糾正錯誤的行為，那么孩子們就又可能會繼續犯錯誤，總有一天會犯大錯誤。
