教育孩子

最近突然有了说出自己的想法的欲望：
1）孩子是没有错的。孩子的行为是父母，学校，社会，教育的结果。如果孩子的行为让你不满意，想办法帮他改变。如果这是他性格的一部分，帮助他尽可能地控制自己。
2）保护孩子的自尊心，帮助他建立自信心。
3）期望值不要太高，这样大家都会高兴的。事先告诉孩子你的期望与要求，不要只是事后责怪。
4）孩子最重要的是成为一个完整的，健康的，快乐的，能承担责任的人。
5）教给孩子学习的能力，学习生活，学习知识，完善自己。
6）犯错误是超越自我的前奏。
7）不要让孩子只会听话，而是要讲道理。

Being Strong

Minkai, as a boy, loves to show us his muscle. He was proudly talking about that he was so strong that I could not even carry him. I followed his implication. I could only lift him up a few inches from the ground but I could not hold him.

Now, we have walked half of an hour on the street of Chicago to find a decent restaurant, after a full day's visit of museums. Minda felt to sleep on her Dad's shoulder twenty minutes ago. Minkai was still walking by himself with a painful look.

"Do you want me to hold you? You are still very strong because you have walked for so long." I suggested.
"Yes. Minda did not even walk." Minkai was so relieved...
