前一阵的美国大学招生舞弊案暴露出了一批“扫雪机父母”,这种父母就像扫雪机一样披荆斩棘,为孩子清除人生路上的一切障碍。但是专家表示,这种育儿方式其实很落后。
Move over, helicopter parents. "Snowplow parents" are the newest embodiment of a hyper-intensive parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don't sleep through a test, and even calling their kids' employers.
“直升机父母”靠边站,如今是“扫雪机父母”的天下了。采取这种高强度育儿方式的父母会给成年子女预约理发,给上大学的孩子发短信叫他们起床去参加考试,甚至会给孩子的雇主打电话。
"Helicopter parenting, the practice of hovering anxiously near one's children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century," Claire Cain Miller and Jonah Engel Bromwich wrote in The New York Times. "Some affluent mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines chugging ahead, clearing any obstacles in their child's path to success, so they don't have to encounter failure, frustration or lost opportunities."
克莱尔·凯恩·米勒和约拿·恩格尔·布罗米奇在《纽约时报》写道:“焦虑地守在孩子身边、监视孩子一举一动的直升机父母已经过时了。如今一些富有的家长更像是扫雪机,轰隆隆地扫除孩子通往成功路上的所有障碍,让孩子不必遭受失败、挫折或丧失机会。”
