What's the difference between China and Americans in educating their children? What are the characteristics of the two?
Americans tend to cultivate children's abilities of courage, independent thinking, independent action and cooperation with others.

People in China like to set a direction for their children, restrain them from learning this and that, and restrain their creativity. They will love their children more than Americans, but they are often spoiled. It will even instill in children dangerous and uncertain things not to do, and leave all the good things to themselves, resulting in children without any innovation and dedication, leaving a selfish mentality.

American education is to give up and then provide children with materials, and children will sum up their own experiences, so the experiences are all their own.

China's education is not at ease. Almost all the children's experiences are told by their families. Therefore, people in China are most likely to take detours and hit a wall when they grow up. Therefore, they lost self-confidence and became mentally ill.

First, paying attention to cultivating equality consciousness can be said to be a prominent feature of American family education, so American children have a strong ability to live independently. Letting children choose freely does not mean that parents do nothing. Parents can guide and help with analysis, but the final choice is in the hands of children. In American families, even when adults talk to their children, they always squat at the same height, face to face and look at each other. This shows parents' respect for their children, makes children realize that they are equal to adults, and is conducive to cultivating their self-esteem and confident personality. Americans fully provide children with opportunities to participate and perform in their daily lives, and always give recognition and praise regardless of the outcome. Children who grow up in such a relaxed environment are cheerful, lively, innovative and confident. Second, pay attention to cultivating hands-on ability. In the United States, parents create environment and conditions for their children from an early age, give them early labor training, let them do what they can, and let them have a pair of hardworking hands. Children have active nature, such as scribbling on the wall, biting toys with their mouths, and cutting graffiti on books, clothes and other items with scissors or knives, which will be resolutely stopped by adults in our country. In America, parents will smile and be glad that their children have learned some skills, instead of regretting that something was broken by their children, and then patiently tell their children some operational skills and knowledge. American parents believe that labor can bring many benefits to children, such as: labor can cultivate children's independence; Labor can promote the use of hands and brains and promote intellectual development; Labor can promote health and enhance physical fitness; Labor can promote the formation of a good personality. Third, pay attention to cultivating independent ability. In the United States, children sleep in small beds from childhood, and when they are older, they are alone. Never heard of children sleeping with their parents. In dealing with children's daily affairs, parents just help their children do things that they couldn't do at that time. Children can do everything by themselves, and cultivate their subconscious mind of being responsible for themselves from an early age. Americans believe that children should be self-reliant and cultivate their self-care ability very early. In the United States, the vast majority of teenagers 18 or more earn their own money to study. So a cleaner and a waiter in American society may also be part of higher education.
