再說小中男

(2015-09-18 22:29:56) 下一個

我還是想說說小中男, 不是瞎操心,而是想提醒一些父母,我們的孩子(尤其是男孩)在這個國家會麵臨比我自己年輕的時候更多的壓力,尤其是社交方麵,因為他們在學校是少數族裔。在高中的時候,他們又處於自尊心最強,也是最敏感的時候,所以除了學習好,社交,言談舉止,衣著品味,體育,文藝活動也很重要。學習成績好隻是一個方麵,他們需要被認同,被接納,回想咱們年輕的時候,我們不是同樣很渴望得到同齡人(尤其是異性)的認可嗎?

我下麵所舉的例子,我想在小中男中具有一定代表性,請大家討論:

男孩A,聰明,學習用功,成績優異。在推爸,推媽的培養下,得了大獎,大學是父母替他選的,專業也是他父母選的。最後進了名校。大二的時候,憂鬱了,隻好回家來。據說在大學的成績不是A 就是 B, 但是就是不想再上學了。拒絕見醫生,也不跟任何人交流,每天關在自己房間裏。這樣的狀況差不多兩年後,有所好轉,但是原來的學校再也不想回去,就轉到本地州大,換專業。父母現在的要求就是順利畢業,有一份簡單工作,自食其力。我們都在分析,很可能是在學校社交出問題,也很可能是原來的專業他根本不感興趣。

男孩B, 同樣聰明,尤其數學好。被排名前十的一所學校錄取,專業也是他自己喜歡的,按理說,一切都很好了。但是,就是不願意跟人交往,不管男孩,還是女孩。每天都躲在實驗室做實驗,成績好,沒有業餘愛好,唯一的愛好就是玩遊戲。到大四了,不想找工作,隻好接著讀書。眼看著PHD就要拿到了,還是不想找工作,更別說找女朋友了。自己一個住,每天除了實驗室就是宿舍。父母很著急,可是沒辦法。這個男孩個子很高,長得也不錯,就是總是木著一張臉,很難看到他的喜怒哀樂。

再申明一下,我不是說,所有小中男都這樣。其實,大部分男孩都很陽光,很自信。但是像上麵的男孩也不是沒有。我覺得男孩在初中的時候,最敏感,常常錯誤低估自己。所以當父母的一定要鼓勵他們,多交朋友,當他們在同齡中找到了朋友,找到了自我,就自然很自信。

在我所認識的亞裔孩子中,還真的很難找到一個是不聰明的。但是,大學以後,綜合表現卻相差很遠。當父母太不容易了....

florence001 回複 悄悄話 對這不懂音樂五音不全卻逼著孩子彈琴的父母反感之極。 小中男長不到5尺10(1。78mm) , this is average high for man in America. if abc boys can not reach this hight, you can not get into college team in almost any sports . play chess , piano ,violin , do math, it will not make your boys any taller. only weaker and shorter.

florence001, while I agree sports is very important to kids and adults, I disagree that music "do not make abc boys into man. may be opposite". This opinion is too extreme and mechanic. As far as I know, most Americans love playing sports and playing music. I can even name great athelets doing great in sports and having music skills. Why can't we let kids playing sport and having music hobby if they like it ? Your view goes to another extreme end.


I talked about abc boys . most of them can not do well in sports and music the same time. they give up sports . most abc boys do not inherit the sports genes from their father and mother.

the kids can reach the level that he can get into college team. this is the sports I talk about . he can call himself an athlete.

florence001 回複 悄悄話 why sports? because sports boost a person 's 體能,荷爾蒙水平,這直接影響到一個人的進取心, sense of happiness. when person doing sports , his brain release the happiness chemical . this is scientific fact , not a fiction. 相反,不玩體育的人體能,賀而蒙水平低,low muscle tone, not coordinate . these type of men are not attractive to women, 自身幸富感低,closer to depression. no matter how many awards he got , he can not be a good choice for future boyfriend or husband.

helloworld1000 回複 悄悄話 that is why I never plan to push my sons, when they say they want to be a truck drivers in the future, I say that is fine. I really hate some of the parents push their children to do lots of thing they want them to do, not what the children want to do.
