Following "Chinese crossing the road" and "Chinese education," another hot topic has emerged-"Chinese entertaining children. " It has swept through the internet like a bolt from the blue.

However, behind this hot topic, there are two heartbreaking news: the 2-year-old boy in Panzhihua was poisoned after drinking alcohol and died, and the 2-year-old boy in Guangxi was poisoned after drinking alcohol and became dementia.

After reading the two pieces of news, Mawang Dictionary only felt a million horseback riding through.

Slap! The Chinese style of tickling children has so many drawbacks, yet it persists indefinitely. So, how should parents prevent this? Let's hear some advice from Mama.com Baike.

The disadvantages of Chinese style humor with children, such as spitting ink, deliberately frightening and encouraging them to do "bad things"... The adults in China seem to always enjoy entertaining their children, sometimes even using the child-rearing methods that are almost like a prank.

In fact, these often inadvertently cause harm to children.

Let's delve into the Chinese way of tickling children, a practice that has both advantages and disadvantages.

Firstly, it is essential to prevent children from distinguishing right from wrong and confusion of right and wrong by adults who play with them like monkeys, encouraging them to speak dirty words for amusement. This can lead to the contamination of a child's moral sense and hinder their ability to discern between right and wrong.

II. Creating a sense of insecurity in children by making them believe in the absurdity of adults' jokes, such as "Your mother has given birth to a brother and no longer loves you," can lead the child to take these jests seriously and feel fearful.

The sense of security for children is extremely important. Some children exhibit behaviors that are aggressive and harm themselves, which is actually due to a lack of safety.

3. Allowing children to perceive their lack of respect is another issue. Being nicknamed "little chubby boy" or "little chubby girl" can give them a sense of not being respected.

Children who grow up in an environment that is not respected do not know how to respect others either.

Chinese ways of amusing children, from "Mom, don't want me anymore" to "Which is more you love, Mom or Dad?" and "You were brought back from the trash can", and "Let mom have a little brother or sister".

The various ways we used to entertain children, even today, still vividly come back to mind.

The relevant institutions have launched an investigation on the theme of "Chinese-style playful interactions with children".

Let's delve into the findings of this survey and examine the forms of child-teasing in China. First, regarding the practice of pouring alcohol: According to the survey results, 25% of respondents recall having been given alcohol as a child, while three-quarters reported not being given any alcohol at all.

Although the respondents themselves were not very likely to have been given alcohol in childhood, nearly half of the respondents (48.31%) reported that they had witnessed children around them being given alcohol at some point.

2. Teasing children with words "telling children 'Mom doesn't want you'"became the most common practice of teasing children selected by respondents with a high rate of 38.14%.

This was followed by "asking children 'Love Dad or Mom'", with a proportion of 14.83%.

In addition,"saying to children,'Let mom give you a baby brother or sister'" is also the most common practice of teasing children among respondents.

3. Playing a boy's penis Although only 4.66% of the respondents believe that "playing a boy's penis" is the most common way to tease children, this method is the most annoying way to tease children selected by the respondents, with the proportion of choices reaching 31.36%.

4. Others. In addition, the proportion of "unfamiliar people kissing or touching children's faces" was 16.1%.

"Raising the child and throwing it" is also the most common practice of teasing children among respondents.

Is China teasing children a bad habit? As soon as the news came out that "a 2-year-old boy in Guangxi became dementia after being drunk", there was a lot of criticism on the Internet, denouncing when the bad habit of China teasing children could be stopped.

However, Mawang Encyclopedia believes that China teasing children may not be a bad habit.

As long as you grasp the right degree, you will naturally be peaceful.

Of course, the act of "playing around" is definitely prohibited.

Most of those who love to tease children are caring and are close to them.

Strangers are unlikely to tease your children.

People without love generally don't like to tease children very much.

However, don't overdo teasing children. If you overdo it, you will not tease, love, or like, but hurt and destroy them.

If tragedy is caused, it will be even more than the gain.

Chinese humor with children is not a monster but, when used appropriately and within the right limits, it can bring joy to everyone in society and foster harmony.

On the contrary, recklessly "playing around" will definitely lead to problems. It can harm a child's self-esteem and seriously affect their development of an independent personality and healthy psychological state. In extreme cases, it could even result in the loss of life, causing irreparable losses and regrets.

In China, when relatives or friends inappropriately play with your child, it's important to intervene. It's essential to express your disapproval directly and not just remain silent or smile along.

Parents can excuse themselves to take their child away, or simply say: "The child is not very accustomed to this kind of communication."

When adults hear such words, they will generally be more aware.

You can also encourage your child to express his true feelings, boldly express his thoughts, and bravely refuse others to tease him.

If parents can handle teasing problems rationally and appropriately, children will subtly follow their parents, learn how to deal with scenes they don't like, and learn how to behave in life.

However, parents must not remain silent or smile because of face, let alone explain for those who tease their children, as this will make their children feel isolated and isolated.

Of course, don't hold the mentality of not letting anyone tease our children end up with him. That will send a message to the children: No one should mess with me! This is also bad.

How to correctly guide China style of teasing children? China's habit of teasing children has a long history and will certainly not disappear in the short term.

We cannot avoid the inappropriate behavior of relatives and friends teasing children.

However, it is still possible to guide them to tease children in the right way.

Let's take a look at how to properly guide children in China. When parents notice that the way their relatives or friends play with children is not proper, they should do three things: explain the right way and show them the correct way, hoping to get them back on the right track.

Firstly, we should steer the inappropriate way to entertain children towards the path that leads to bringing joy to them and satisfying ourselves.

Secondly, always prioritize safety.

Thirdly, guide them to respect children and allow them to learn knowledge and grow up healthily through playful activities.
