Another difference is that the former tend to encourage children to bee realists。 while the latter is to encourage children to be a dreamer, they often talk to their children: You can bee anything you want to be! This explains why Chinese parents put more focus on the child39。s homework, while American parents is often through extracurricular activities, emphasizing the child39。s future development, namely, to bee a full person.Chinese parents are willing to make their children ready for everything.Chinese parents, since the launch of the national family planning policy, are more likely to coddle their children than American parents, so the munity will have a little emperor or little princess. Chinese parents are willing to prepare their children for everything, but American parents prefer to educate their children to do something for themselves, fostering their independence by this way.For example, a small child fell down while walking, Chinese parents will soon help him (her) to stand, while if American parents find their children nothing, they will let him (her) stand up by themselves. Another example, when children are very young, American parents will let them take greater responsibility. As the kids grow up and leave home, the nature of the relationship between children and parents has changed. Chinese parents tend to encourage children to be reserved, while the American parents encourage children to spread its wings after grown up. of targetsThe goals of family education determine their directions.
