Reading: Pampered Child Syndrome

How to end spoilt brat syndrome?
如今,過多的愛、不當的愛,卻讓孩子們失去競爭力,甚至產生負向性格。
以下六個數據,分別來自二○○一年哈佛大學的研究、二○○一年CNN及《時代》雜誌聯合進行的民調、二○○二年美國非營利公共意見研究團體Public Agenda的調查:
一、)八○%的人,都認為今天的孩子比十年或十五年前被寵壞了。
二、)三分之二的父母承認自己的孩子被寵壞了。
三、)七五%的人認為,現在小孩比以前做更少的家事。
四、)只有九%的成人認為,他們在公共場所看到的孩子「對成人有所尊重」。
五、)三分之一以上的老師,因為「無法忍受」學生的行為,認真的考慮離開教職,或他們知道有人因此離職。
六、)也是最驚人的數據,一九八四年時,孩童可以影響父母達五百億美元的消費。到了二○○一年,這個數字達到三千億美元。更進一步推論,父母給孩子的物質享受,比上一個世代整整成長了五倍!(編按:這段期間兒童人口數僅成長一五%)
這些數據共同指出一個現象:孩子對父母的控制權越來越大,但其被寵壞的現象也越來越嚴重。五倍的愛,五倍的物質,孩子消化得了嗎?

------------------------------------------------------------------
高雄長庚醫院兒童心智科主任周文君分析,孩子在社會互動中,最需要的就是「妥協、分享、互動」三種特質,被溺愛的孩子,容易喪失學習這些特質和演練的機會,就容易自我中心。

幼稚園,是社會情境的第一關,被溺愛的孩子因為不具上述三種特質,容易與同儕出現爭執,隨著時間長大,在人際交往上就會產生挫折感。這個挫折感緊接著會帶來焦慮、憂鬱、拒學,然後產生更多的情緒問題,甚至出現自殺、攻擊性的行為。此外,被放任的孩子,由於將「獲得東西」視為理所當然,通病就是「等不得」,當「無法獲得」的情境出現,就容易出現犯罪行為。

忠告:「易開罐的愛」只會害了孩子
然而,溺愛的問題不在於愛多、愛少,而在於「怎麼愛」。愛的方法正確,孩子的行為加乘;愛的方法不正確,錯誤的行為也更嚴重。
這樣的狀況你應該不陌生,或者,你應該見過:全家吃飯時,父母因為愛孩子,總是主動幫孩子夾菜,將最好的菜留給孩子,等到孩子吃不下,父母才吃下剩餘的菜。久而久之,孩子理所當然以為,「我本來就該吃最好吃的菜」。有一天,當他看到愛吃的食物,問也不問,一口氣全盤吃光,不管其他人是否取用時,你才發現,原來你的愛給錯了方式!
小孩沒有感恩心,只曉得占有,不曉得失去的滋味。
周文君分析,成功的愛,孩子不僅感受到父母的用心,還會回頭反問母親要不要吃一口,而不是全部吃完。這樣的愛,就沒有多餘的問題。
美國權威心理學家、哈佛大學教授羅伯.寇爾斯(Robert Coles)曾對富家子弟進行研究,他指出這些孩子的問題:「儘管擁有財富及特權,可是他們依然不快樂、不滿足。所有的錢財、玩具、旅遊,全都不請自來。他們已擁有許多,還想更多,得到後卻沒有很大的滿足感,只是生出更多的欲望。在這表象之下,充滿著糾結不去的無用感。」
同樣的,因為不虞匱乏,千禧之子也失去努力的動機、生命的熱忱。
也如同美國心理學教授索羅門.史奇莫(Solomon Schimmel)形容希臘諸神,後來為何變成易怒的一群:「正因為他們要什麼有什麼,有任何願望可以馬上實現,就變得不再有希望。希望,是建立在有未實現的理想、有需要花費力氣才能滿足的需要上。由於不需要希望而失去希望,神也會變得煩躁。」
愛孩子,就別讓你的愛,變成「易開罐的愛」:廉價、易開、隨取隨有。收回你的一隻手吧!

After the Gather...

After the gathering I am happy to see;
1.) Hazel is easy to be happy not because of others but herself.
2.) And she like to discover new things not afraid of strangers.
3.) Hazel would take the initiative in making acquaintances.
The adverse, most kids not looks happy most of the time and not see "innocence".
Not like to share or hurt others.....
Maybe parents spoiled their children and not teach but just saying "you cannot do that".
How children would know what is right thing and why cannnot do that?

However, I also realize how much hazel would love to play with other kids and how lonely would she be in the future. As the father said, he would consider to have second child when his job is getting stable. It is not good to have our childs living in the stress also.

Hazel is a happy girl who always smile.

(Hi! my name is hazel / what are you doing?/ Let me play your toys,please.)
9/10 We went to see one of my classmate because his baby girl is one month old.
It is fun to see everyone getting together and many kids around (but also vary noisy).
Eveyone all said Hazel is always carrying a smile. She shall be an optimist.
Hope hazel would continue behavior so since most of kids not smile all the time.

A Mid-Night Run

We were not notiuced an electric power cut between 0:00 to 6:00 at 9/9.
And hazel not bore the no airconditioner room and the darkness kept on cring.
Finally we decided to take a taxi to parents' house to sleep.
Since hazel slept at diffent place, she not like to sleep (also, we forgot the bring the pillow over).
It is really a difficult night. None of us have a good sleep at night and another day time.

Hi Bartender, Give Me One~

Something bother you, hazel?
吧台買醉?

Not drink any alcohol, just water in the yellow learning bottle.
It is just a place to keep her busy.

Shopping Queen

Hazel love to manage her clothes. Taking out from the bag and put those everywhere.
Like a kid openning all her presents.
If she really would become a desiner, it is not bad to familar her "money making tools" 生財工具.

Designer with Designers' Clothes

Since hazel took ruler and spring onion at 8 moths old, people said she would be a "smart" designer. Before being one good designer, her grandma gets her designers' clothes.
以後要好好孝順外婆喔!!

The Limit

孰可忍孰不可忍!! Don't say no to "Income"!

No Eating ; No Eating Myself

Hazel like to try to eat by herself.
If you like to feed her....., she would be really angry and not eat.
Leaning itself is a good thing. However, the cleaning is the difficult part.

For a While not~


It has been a while for hazel sleep over night without crying and waking up in the middle of night. Good!
Fred found it might be the reason that i have her sleeped on the banket. She would cry and wake up at the middle of night coz of too"Hot".
Since we have the blanket taken away, hazel sleep over night.
Hope so~

Happy & Happiness

What is the Happy & Happiness?
I would like to teach hazel what is happy- appreciate what she has.
-When my family and people i care are healthy and happy, i feel happy.
-Happy is able to help others (not for others' personal pleasure).
-Happy is not how many i can ask but appreciate what i already have.
失("施")比受更有福 - 真是嫁對了 ?

Prefer Western Food?


Nanny has mentioned Hazel seems to like bread or western food more than chinese food. Is this the reason it is hard to feed her porridge? Hazel is interesting in any kind of food. It is easy to feed her our food in the restaurant.

Now, she would alone watch it quietly.

Making Friends

Hazel's grandma and grandpa like to walk hazel at the "East Understeet Mall". The main reason is to have hazel met others kids. She love seeing other kids and running with them. But ..when other kids like playing with her , she got scared. In the pictures, there are two sisters (3yrs & 5 yrs).

Learning- Bowl & Spoon

In the restaurant, the server always prepare her plastic bowl and spoon. Hazel is learning to eat by herself. However, she would prefer to play instead of eating. If you leave rice in her bowl, you would see 麻糬 later in her bowl. Anyway..she is learning.

Wave Hands & Saying "Good-bye"

This week, whenever we send her to the nanny or pick up from nanny, she would wave hands with a big smile. surprisingly, she said "再見" to us in nanny's husband's arms. It is so cute to see her pick up things fast. That also means no bad habbit and words in front of her. She would copy from us immediately.
