“熊孩子”和“陪作业心梗”，英语国家的家长是啥样？

As a parent, you:

-Raise your child (kid) = Bring up your child   抚养孩子

A good upbringing  良好家教（家庭环境）

-Nurture your child  养育孩子

-Educate your child  教育孩子

-Discipline your child 管教孩子

You probably shouldn’t:

-indulge your child (too much)  （过分）宠溺

-dote on your child (too much)   

-spoil your child  溺爱

You really shouldn’t:

-abuse your child     虐待

-neglect your child   疏于照顾

When a child is good, you call him/her ＝TOO MANY!

看到熊孩子, you can call them:

Brat  顽童

Rascal  淘气鬼

Little rascal =

加上little语气马上掺入爱的成分，类似于“兔崽子”和“小兔崽子”的区别：P

When they have donesomething bad, you:

- Call their full name out loud!  大声叫全名

    (in Englishspeaking countries, this even includes middle names)

 ＊JessicaC. Smith – Jessica Carrie Smith!!

- Tell them off (BrE)  训斥

-Set a curfew (for older children)   定点回家（宵禁）

-Ground them and take away their privileges(TV/phone/tablets/gaming…) 

   禁足及禁止所有娱乐

体罚－We know it is not good, but it still happens…

Spank   打屁股

Slap   打耳光

Hit    打

Beat   揍

The last two or eventhree will definitely be considered abuse in English-speaking countries.

Parenting styles:

Hyper parenting   高压家教  （Tiger mum）

Helicopter parent   直升机家长 

Overprotective parent   过度保护

Doting parent 宠溺型

Nurturing parent  用爱心养育

“good cop, bad cop”    唱红脸白脸
