One day, when I had lunch in a restaurant with my mother, there was a small boy next to me. He was very naughty and making noise. The boy was enjoying doing this bad thing, because other people looked at him and he felt being the spotlight. To my surprise, the mother did not stop the boy but explained to others that he was just a small kid. This is the very classic education for most Chinese parents. Age is not the excuse for doing the bad thing. The boy should be educated in time, so that he can realize his mistake, or he will do it all the time.

有一天我和媽媽在一家餐館吃午飯的時候，我旁邊有一個小男孩，他很調皮，一直在制造噪音。男孩似乎很享受這樣做壞事，因為其他人看著他讓他覺得自己成為了焦點。我很驚訝的是他媽媽并沒有阻止他的行為，反而是向他人解釋說，他只是個孩子。對大多數中國父母來說這是非常典型的教育方式。年齡不是做壞事的借口。他媽媽應該要教育這個小男孩，這樣他才會意識到自己的錯誤，不然他會一直都這樣做。
