Note: Professor Lin, now in the us often see the phenomenon of grandparents raising grandchildren, this is called \"generational support\", then why generational support such social phenomenon?
Forest: in China, according to some experts study, generational dependency 25% per cent, another part is two generations of mutual dependency, this is more common. Because our Chinese traditional concept of the family is heavy, and young couples lived with parents in General. Greater general until the third-generation grandson or kindergartens before going out. Three generations of Chinese families also are now under one roof structure, and we think this is very normal. Young generations of ancestors and family in China thousands of years of living in is a feature of national traditional culture in traditional history.
Remember: this is a traditional reasons, then why this phenomenon is still exist?
Forest: still exists because the development of market economy is now, parents to participate in the work. Working families are now widespread, after the birth of a child is still very small, no one to look after. They feel to the nanny than their parents to take care of more secure. Existing home a nurse, but grandparents also assisted education.
In addition, nurseries do not at present in China developed, into the very small percentage. According to current surveys, more than more than 920,000 children under 3 years old in Fujian province, into the only 20,000 people. 900,003 children under the age of acceptance of family education in the family. Into the difficulties, so small ancestors to help with grandchildren is a very widespread phenomenon. This is social and traditional reasons. Also, with grandson has a certain amount of enthusiasm for the elderly, and worthiness. In addition, the old man felt quite busy in the past, on their children do not have to concentrate on band, present can compensate the past deficiencies. There is also a factor, we Chinese people have three generations living together enjoy a happy life, that have many children and grandchildren are family relationships, (grandson) to psychologically balanced, spiritual comfort.
Note: this \"generational support\" phenomenon is only China has, or is such a phenomenon exists also in foreign countries?
Forest: this is a phenomenon unique to China. Phenomenon of some of the few in the West. Because foreign pro-independence, Sun life is independence, grandchildren of this generation is more whether or not, is up to the holidays to play together.
Remember: \"intergenerational support\" and now there are different views, some believe that, grandparents grandson, parents can feel comfortable to work, some believe that \"generational support\" there is a lack of certain negative impact on the child, which has its pros and cons, on these two aspects, how do you see?
Lin: some people now ask, 21st century do grandparents have qualified with a grandson? They believe that social development, education development, people\'s thinking in the development, grandparents will keep pace with the times. According to surveys, some parents believe that the grandparents with children, more unfavourable factors than favourable factors. Unfavourable factors, grandparents grandson yield low, statistics show as 30%. Some people therefore advocated not to all the children to grandparents with; some people think that work, children nanny not assured that grandparents they will genuinely zone. 30% more than parents think of giving with grandparents. Each have their own say, we shall now analyze. That grandparents grandson with qualification not enough grounds are:
First, the grandparents would spoil his grandson, shield a grandson, caring too much. Sun Jiao, does not suffer.
Second, the grandparents grandson, will replace science with experience, did not use the scientific method of education to develop a grandson.
Third, the grandparents consciousness conservative, older, subject to no restrictions, with grandchildren more closed, do not love activities. Parents with child activities of a larger, more open and lively.
IV, grandparents is easy to be the grandson of the shelter, Haven, formed two generations of educational view of inconsistencies.
In addition, favourable factors are:
First, the Secretary grandmother with grandson Association will be traditional, moral culture, civilization passed to his grandson. Easy to promote the socialization of children, meeting different people, all in the family of learning and communicative ability.
Second, the grandparents retired there after certain economic conditions, grandson can help children to take on the economy.
In other words, there exist positive and negative factors, the key is how to play common ancestors education resources, take advantage of the benefits insufficient to overcome, this is the current academic session to explore issues in the education sector.
Reporter: indeed, this is the current society \"generational support\" most real-world problems facing, that is there any method to solve?
Lin: five positive suggestions have been raised: to get a grandparents school, to the grandparents of imparting modern education concept, which idea is this?
First, establish a modern educational concepts, change educational concept inherent in the past.
Second, there should be of mental health.
Third, to health, the good life.
Four, to cultivate their love of learning, self-care, work habits. Scores should not be too heavy, to cultivate the ability of children hands-on.
V, to establish equality of democratic family relations in the family, in discussing issues equal democratic, to let children have a voice. To respect the views of the child, children feel that they are also masters of families. Have an equal harmonious family atmosphere, in which children grow up, character would be more healthy.
So, to the grandparents are education, help them establish a new concept of education, through various channels, such as the elderly, parent-school of the University. In the new century, the ancestors continues to be our family education an important educational force in China, should be
Full use to find their role in family education. Mobilize the enthusiasm of ancestors education. Two-person education third-generation, third culture will be better.
