評論／別過度保護 讓台生成長

【聯合報╱陳秋萍／行政人員（嘉縣太保）】 2010/04/22

 

部分現代父母或許是因自己苦過，或許是因孩子生得少，總給予下一代過多保護。許多孩子在家過著優渥的生活，在學校唯我獨尊，遇有不如意，情緒化處理事情；即使已是大學生，待人接物、處理事情的能力比不上年齡成長的速度。

My comments: Character building is more than important to me.

 

當我們的孩子沉迷網路世界時，陸生正挑燈苦讀。別再為孩子設保護網了，因為對孩子而言，就業的環境只會越來越艱鉅，而陸生來台好比鯰魚效應，儘早讓孩子處在競爭強的環境，只是提早幫孩子打抵抗困境的預防針，誰能保證未來十年、廿年，台灣的孩子都能過著安逸的日子。

My comments: Some day, those internet addicts will still have to face the real world. They are very likely to regret having wasted so much time roaming in the virtual world.

Several days ago, I read in the UDN a news story about a man who committed suicide. The man, after graduating from college and leaving the army, couldn't find a job. He played computer games all day. One day, it hitting him that he couldn't see the meaning of life, he took his own life. How tragic!
