and experiencing of life for themselves。 所以簡單地來說,如果我們的孩子建立了自我效能感,那么他們必須做出更多人生的思考,計劃,決定,活動,希望,應對,試錯,夢想,和自己的經(jīng)歷。 Now, am I saying every kid is hardworking and motivated and doesnamp。rsquo。t need a parentamp。rsquo。s involvement or interest in their lives, and we should just back off and let go? Hell no. That is not what Iamp。rsquo。m saying. What Iamp。rsquo。m saying is, when we treat grades and scores and accolades and awards as the purpose of childhood, all in furtherance of some hopedfor admission to a tiny number of colleges or entrance to a small number of careers, that amp。rsquo。s too narrow a definition of success for our kids. 現(xiàn)在,我說的是每位孩子都很用功和有上進心,不需要父母的參與或對他們的人生感興趣。我們只需要退后和放手?顯然不是。這不是我說的。我要說的是,當我們把成績和分數(shù),榮譽和獎項作為孩子童年的目的時,寄予希望他們能進入為數(shù)不多的大學和某個職位時,那么以這種定義孩子的成敗太狹義了。 And even though we might help them achieve some shortterm wins by overhelping like they get a better grade if we help them do their homework, they might end up with a longer childhood resume when we helpwhat Iamp。rsquo。m saying is that all of this es at a longterm cost to their sense of self. What Iamp。rsquo。m saying is , we should be less concerned with the specific set of colleges they might be able to apply to or might get into and far more concerned that they have the habits, the mindset, the skill set, the wellness, to be successful wherever they go. 盡管我們通過過度幫忙實現(xiàn)了他們的短期勝利,就像我們協(xié)助他們做作業(yè)可能拿到更高分,在我們的協(xié)助下他們可能會以更長的童年履歷結束,我想說的是所有這些長期的代價,需基于自我意識。我想說的是,我們需要給予更少的關注,對于他們具體可能會申請哪所大學,參與給予更多的關注在他們形成的習慣,心態(tài),技能,健康,無論他們?nèi)ツ膬憾寄艹晒Φ哪芰Α?br /> What Iamp。rsquo。m saying is, our kids need us to be a little less obsessed with grades and scores and a whole lot more interested in childhood providing a foundation for their success built on things like love and chores. 我想說的是,我們的孩子需要我們對他們的成績和分數(shù)少一點關注,對他們的童年多一份關心。為他們的成功提供基礎,比如在愛和家務活。 Did I just say chores? Did I just say chores? I really did. But really, hereamp。rsquo。s why. The longest longitudinal study of humans ever conducted is called the Harvard Grant Study. It found that professional success in life, which is what we want for our kids, that professional success in life es from having dong chores as a kid, and the earlier you started, the better, that a rollupyoursleeves. 我說家務活了嗎?我說家務活了嗎?我的確說了。原因如下,有史以來最長的縱向人類學研究是哈佛格蘭特研究。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中的職業(yè)成功,是我們想讓孩子得到的。生活中的職業(yè)成功來自于孩子從小做家務活,越早開始越好,卷起衣袖。 And pitch in mindest, a mindset that says, thereamp。rsquo。s some unpleasant work, someoneamp。rsquo。s got to do it, it might as well be me, a mindset that says, I will contribute my effort to the betterment o
