The all-star lineup of Zhao Wei, Tong Dawei, Dong Jie, Pan Hong, and others, the urban topic family comedy "Tiger Mom Cat Dad", once broadcasted, has sparked an extensive discussion on parenting issues.

As the drama opens, it focuses on the consequences of Grandma's "princess education": The character of Tu Xiuhe plays by Ji Zihan, dressed in a princess-like outfit, lacks basic life skills and shows no respect for her elders. During family outings, she even displays a ruthless temperament.

Tuxie's "criminal activities" eventually led to Zhao Wei's "tiger mother" transformation.

Offstage, the spoiled rabbit girl, who is influenced by generational education, has resonated with many parents.

If you are working hard and busy, you must know this.

Education through the generation gap can have significant impacts on children. For instance, a child might be raised by their mother and grandmother, with their father spending most of his time online or at the market, while their grandfather may focus solely on watching television shows. This type of upbringing can lead to a variety of challenges for children as they navigate the complex social landscape of modern society.

This is probably a common phenomenon in today's society.

Many people say that inter-generational education can easily cultivate domineering and spoiled characters, but is this really the case? Does inter-generational education affect a child's personality? Let's delve into the topic together with the parenting encyclopedia.

I. The spoiled heir presided over, with the protective umbrella of grandpa and grandma, the baby always puts forward "freedom" requirements.

Such permissive love can lead to a baby developing a spoiled, domineering, and selfish personality, which has extremely adverse effects on the baby's future development.

For example, it's hard to get along with peers of the same age.

When one's wishes are not fulfilled, they cry and make a scene.

Second, dependence becomes a disease. When grandparents take care of children, this scene is most likely to occur: the child can walk, but grandparents still have to hug them.

The children's toys were scattered all over the floor, and the grandparents packed them away.

The baby is in a period of recognizing things and learning and trying. This kind of love will only deprive the baby of the opportunity to learn.

Educational approaches that involve taking care of everything for children often result in children who are dependent, lacking independence, and will only wait for others to solve their problems.

III. "Elderly Disease" and being around elderly people for too long can gradually lead to the children becoming more like their grandparents. The habits of the older generation will also be transferred to the children over time.

Some children talk and talk like adults, while others have narrowed perspectives and are averse to new experiences.

These "senior illnesses" have caused children to lose their innocent and lively, curious and active personalities, and in severe cases, it can lead to a narrow-mindedness and psychological aging.

The Difference Between Grandparent-Led Education and Parental Education: Who Comes Out on Top? The crown naturally falls to parental education.

Parents and grandparents, take note: Intergenerational education can never replace parent-child education! Many mothers who have experienced "left-behind children" say that due to the lack of parental companionship during their childhood, children may grow up resenting their parents.

The lack of parent-child education not only leads to children's emotional distance from their parents, but also has a more serious impact on the development of children's physical and mental health.

A good family education cannot be separated from the participation of any member, especially the parents.

In the process of intergenerational education, parents must not let the separation between generations cut off parent-child bonds. At the same time, grandparents should not take over too much and give young parents more time to spend together is always beneficial.

How to make full use of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages in intergenerational education? Have you ever encountered such a situation: when you are criticizing your child, Grandma rushes to defend him.

It seems that in the matter of raising children, the elderly in the family always disagree with you! In the dispute over parenting, parents can adopt various methods to persuade the elderly.

Let's take a look below! NO.1: Let children convey that children are often the darling of the elderly. When faced with children's opinions and suggestions, few elderly people will refuse.

Therefore, when the old man's opinions are inconsistent with your ideas, parents are advised to follow the old man's wishes first, and then use some small strategies to let the children express them indirectly afterwards.

NO.2: Private Chat with the Elderly When parents and the elderly disagree, never accuse each other on the spot or in front of the children. Be sure to find an occasion where no one is around to chat privately.

This makes the elderly realize that their actions are inappropriate and easier to face them calmly.

In addition, if you are communicating with grandparents, ask your father to help you.

And if you are communicating with grandma and grandpa, please ask mom to help! Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort! NO.3: Take out negative examples. Some behaviors of the elderly may not be good for the child's growth, but if you directly persuade the elderly, it may not achieve the desired effect.

At this point, it might be helpful to draw on some cautionary examples to persuade the elderly.

NO.4: Expert opinions guide that when parents and the elderly have major differences during the education process, they must not be tit-for-tat, otherwise the problem cannot be solved and the relationship between them will deteriorate.

Faced with this situation, parents can solve the problem by inviting the elderly to watch a program where experts comment on parenting knowledge and methods.

Expert guidance is more convincing and will be easier for the elderly to accept.

NO.5: Cold Treatment Parents sometimes don't have to argue with the elderly about some wrong ways or preaching in educating their children.

Young parents can do according to their own ideas and ignore the accusations and rights of dissatisfaction with the elderly.

When appropriate, let loose a bit and express that you're feeling quite helpless-that usually gets the old man off your back.
