Westerns think that the education ways（教育方式） in many Chinese families are hard to understand.Here are some examples.

Many children in China are looked after by their grandfathers and grandmothers because their parents are busy. But children need to stay and communicate with their parents.

Parents pay no attention to the rights（权利） of children. (1)Parents should _____ at the door before they go_______ the room of their children. (2) They shouldn't move their children's things before they agree. Parents should communicate with children and respect(尊重) the rights and decision of them. Children who are not respected also do not know how to respect others.

(2) Parents often compare their children with others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents' face. Parents often say "You see somebody else is studying hard, what good  grades  they have, and  what prizes they get". This is the worst thing. It will only bring the child much harm and pain.

Many children are made to do what their parents except, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go abroad. It should be decided by children themselves.

The more hard-working, the better. Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated（综合） ability is so important that it will affect children all their lives.

Who do you admire(崇拜)?Different people may have different ideas.
If you’re a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is probably the one in your mind.

But now things are going to be different. This morning, he’s going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start his life.

So, World, I wish you would take him by the little hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him there are heroes, leaders and friends in this world. Give him quiet time to think over the mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.

Teach him to believe in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him he is wrong.

Teach him to stand and fight if he thinks he is right.

Teach him never to put a price on his heart and spirit.

Teach him gently, World, but don’t love him too much, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. This is a big order, World, and see what you can do. He’s such a little fellow.
