Comparison of Chinese and Western parenting

Chinese and Western parentingWhen it refers to the parenting under different cultural backgrounds, there is always much worth to say. Despite many squeamishness about cultural stereotypes, there are tons of studies out there showing marked and quantifiable differences between Chinese and Westerners when it comes to parenting.The education aim is the most core element in both China and Western. The first differ-ence well worth to be discussed is related to the purpose of parenting. It seems that C hinese children’s duties are doomed to be hard study, high scores and outstanding perfo rmance. Chinese parents believe that they know what is best for their childre n so they override all of their children's own desires and preferences, leading to the re sults of ignoring of Children’s talent and merits. Contrarily, what’s the western parent valu es a lot is the independence ability, including the self-management of daily life things and a lso earning on their lives. They try to respect their children's individuality, encouraging th em to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positi ve reinforcement and a nurturing environment.The third distinction deserves to be mentioned is the contents of parenting. In generally, western parents always pay more attention to children’s psychological while Chinese parents pay more attention to children’s achievement. Taking parents’response facing the substandard performance and the failure of their children for instance, western parents will constantly try to reassure their children about how good they are notwithstanding a mediocre performance while Chinese parents chronically choose to punish and motivate their children by excoriating and shaming.Thus, Western parents are deemed to lay more emphasis on children’s psyches while Chinese parents are regarded to have overmuch excessive expectations on the outstanding performance.●Vast majority●Purpose●MethodGenerally speaking, western countries parents always treat their children as the closely frie nds that they lie in an equal status. So they can from child’s angle to think things. And most of western countries parents tend to believe the children have self-reflection and self-educa tion ability so that children should work and live on their selves. Another different method is western parents think children should gain happiness from the works. At the same time, children should gain experience and knowledge from labor. They make child know the labor’s va lues from little age. Children can repair motorcycle, motorcycle assembly, share home mowi ng, and painting house, shovel snow in winter and sweep leaves in autumn. As a result, their operation ability is better than Chinese children.In the opposite, China’s parents take very good care of the children from little to older. Some children at the ten years old may sleep with their parents or even don’t wash their clothes.And most Chinese parents often help children do homework’s and pack their bags. Even ma ny students don’t learn suit their shoes ties. Those mainly effect by Chinese traditional famil y values and current social situation that parents too much spoil their children and they thin k families should make more sacrifice of the home.By contrast, the Chinese believe that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they're capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.●Contents●western countries family value attaches importance to “self” benefits and they think home is the private place.
