That’s enough,kids
It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two
children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to
theground.
“I’dwatchedhim foralittle while andmy sonwasthe fourthorfifth child he’d shoved,”she
says.” I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ’No, we don’t
push,”Whathappenednextwasunexpected.
“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says,” I thought she was
coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I
didwaslethimknow hisbehavior wasunacceptable.WasI supposedtositbackwhile herkiddid
whateverhewanted,hurtingotherchildrenintheprocess?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’schildrenhasbecomeaminefield.
Inmyhouse,jumpingonthesofaisnotallowed.Inmysister’shouseit’sencouraged.Forher,
it’saboutkidsbeingkids:“Ifyoucan’tdoitatthree,whencanyoudoit?”
Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt’s
house. But I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between
sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you’re talking to the children of friends or
acquaintances.
“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.” But
there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent.Wesee our children as an extension of
ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that’s somehow a
criticismofme.”
In those circumstances, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the
parentfirst.Therearetwoschoolsofthought.
“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet
reminderthat’wedon’tdothathere’isenough.Kidsnavefinelytunedantennae(直觉)forhowto
behaveindifferentsettings.”
Hepoints outbringingitupwith theparentfirstmaymake themfeelneglectful, whichcould
causeproblems.Ofcourse,approachingthechildfirstcanbringitsownheadaches,too.
This is whyWhite recommends thatyou approachthe parents first. Raise your concernswith
theparentsifthey’rethereandaskthemtodealwithit,”shesays.
Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers:
“Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your remarks
withsomethinglike:’Iknowyou’llthinkI’msillybutinmyhouseIdon’twant…’”
When it comes to situations where you’re caring for another child, white is straightforward:
“commonsensemustprevail.Ifthingsdon’tgowell,thenhaveachat.”
There’re a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is
no longer appropriate. “A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate
abouthowwehandlechildren.”
For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:” The rules
are different now from when today’s parents were growing up,” he says, “Adults are scared of
saying: ’don’t swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They’re worried that there will be
conflictiftheypointthesethingsout–eitherfromolderchildren,ortheirparents.”
Heseesitasalossofthesenseofcommonpublicgoodandpubliccourtesy(礼貌),andsays
thatadultssufferformitasmuchaschild.
Meredith Fuller agrees:“Acodeof conductis hardto createwhenyou’relivingin a worldin
which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people
areperceivedtofinishlast.”
“It’s aboutwhatI’mdoingandwhatIneed,”AndrewFuller says. ”thedays whenakid came
home from school and said, “I got into trouble”. And dad said, ‘you probably deserved it’. Are
over.Nowtheparentsarecharginguptotheschooltohaveagoatteachers.”
This jumping to our children’s defense is part of what fuels the “walking on eggshells”
feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. You know that if you
remonstrate(劝诫)withthechild,you’regoingtohavetodealwiththeparent.It’sadmirabletobe
protectiveofourkids,butisitgood?“Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries,”
White says. “I suspect that it’s only certain sectors of the population doing the running to the
school–better–educatedparentsareprobablymorelikelytobetooinvolved.”
White believes our notions of a more child-centered, it’a way of talking about treating our
childrenlikecommodities(商品).We’recenteredonthembutinwaysthatreflectpositivelyonus.
We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of,
ratherthanservethebestinterestsofthechildren.”
One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap
to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi’ intervention(干预) on her son’ behalf ended in an
undignifiedexchangeofinsultingwordswiththeotherboy’mother.
As Bianchi approached the park bench where she’d been sitting, other mums came up to her
and congratulated her on taking a stand. “Apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for
badbehaviourandhismumforevenworsebehaviourifhewaschallenged.”
Andrew Fuller doesn’t believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids.

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will alert
theirfriends,relatives,co-workers,strangers-andanyonewhowilllisten.Store managers are often the last to hear complaints, and often find out only when their
regular customers decide t frequent their competitors, according to a study jointly conducted by
VerdegroupandWhartonschool
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers,” said Paula Courtney, President of the
Verdegroup.”thestorelosesthecustomer,buttheshoppermustalsofindareplacement.”
On average, every unhappy customer will complain to at least four other, and will no longer
visit the specific store for every dissatisfied customer, a store will lose up to three more due to

During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting

direct customers to empty parking spaces. This guidance eliminated the need for customers to
circle the parking lotendlessly, and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking

Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items,
hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer

“Retailers who’re responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those
