Things to Know 學(xué)前必讀
典型的美國家庭是由父母及他們未婚的孩子構(gòu)成的一種核心家庭。一對(duì)美國夫婦有兩三個(gè)孩子,甚至更多些,都是很常見的。美國人的獨(dú)立意識(shí)很強(qiáng),每個(gè)成年人都應(yīng)有自立的能力,特別是經(jīng)濟(jì)上。小孩高中畢業(yè)就不依靠父母生活。有些成年人即使與父母生活在同一城市里,他們也愿意另找住房生活,從不在經(jīng)濟(jì)上依靠父母。有不少高中生甚至初中生在晚上或周末打工賺零錢,以支持社交或生活所需的費(fèi)用。許多大學(xué)生讀大學(xué)也是靠自己假期打工賺回生活費(fèi)來完成學(xué)業(yè)的。如果一位已工作的成年人還與父母同住的話,他會(huì)被伙伴們嘲笑。
美國人對(duì)子女的愛,體現(xiàn)方式與中國人不同,他們注重孩子獨(dú)立生活能力的培養(yǎng),父母的責(zé)任就是把孩子培養(yǎng)成有自立能力的人。
