美国小孩:有史以来最娇惯的孩子

Madeline Levine's 'Teach Your Children Well: Parenting for Authentic Success' places much of the blame on parents' keen desire that their children be special in all things, Kolbert says. 'Being special takes hard work and can't be trusted to children,' writes Levine. 'Hence the exhausting cycle of constantly monitoring their work and performance, which in turn makes children feel less competent and confident, so that they need even more oversight.'

科尔伯特说，玛德琳•莱文(Madeline Levine)在《教好你的小孩：真正成功的育儿之道》(Teach Your Children Well: Parenting for Authentic Success)一书中，将主要原因归咎于父母认为他们的孩子与众不同这样一种热望。“特殊，意味着需要更多的精力去照顾，同时你也无法信赖他们。这会形成一个让父母精疲力竭的循环：你必须一直监督他们的工作和表现，这样也会反过来使孩子们觉得自己并不怎么能干，没有什么自信，从而导致他们需要更多的监督。”

Also reviewed in the piece are Sally Koslow's 'Slouching Toward Adulthood: Observations from the Not-So-Empty Nest,' Hara Estroff Marano's 'A Nation of Wimps: The High Cost of Invasive Parenting,' Melvin Konner's 'The Evolution of Childhood' and Pamela Druckerman's 'Bringing Up Bebe,' which was excerpted in the Journal and discussed here at the Juggle.
