There are many lawnmower parents(割草机父母) in the world. These parents prevent their kids from facing any kind of difficulty. Here are 3 signs you are a lawnmower parent.
1. You tell your child about a coming problem instead of letting him or her discover it.
If you always do this, your child won’t learn to recognize a challenging situation before it happens. Being able to see it coming helps a child begin thinking it through. When kids hit an obstacle, parents should be available to walk and talk them through it. Leave space for the learning to happen.
2. You become their voice.
Having worked in early childhood education, I know it is good for children to use their words. They develop confidence(信心). I often see a parent answering a question that was asked to the child. But being able to hold good talks improves your child’s interpersonal skills. That will also help kids make more friends. When parents become the voice for their children, the children never develop problem-solving skills or learn how or where to ask for help or protect themselves.
3.
Roger Lewin said, “Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” Allow your children to develop the work discipline(纪律) they will need for life and to understand the results of not completing work on their own. Just allow your children to take in everyday tasks such as household chores and serving and cleaning up. This will help them get confidence, living skills, and good manners.
