兒童暑假也忙碌

暑假到了，早高峰的公交地鐵上，人們經(jīng)常看到父母帶著孩子背著大書(shū)包啃著漢堡去趕補(bǔ)習(xí)班的身影。假期的孩子過(guò)得好像比學(xué)期還要忙碌。

Hurried child syndrome refers to a condition in which parents overschedule their children's lives, push them hard for academic success, and expect them to behave and react as miniature adults.
“忙碌兒童綜合征”指的是家長(zhǎng)將孩子的生活安排得過(guò)滿(mǎn)、極力要求孩子在學(xué)業(yè)上取得佳績(jī)，并且希望孩子表現(xiàn)得像小大人一樣的現(xiàn)象。

The concept of the hurried child was first proposed by child psychologist David Elkind in his now-classic 1981 book The Hurried Child: Growing Up Too Fast.
“忙碌兒童”這個(gè)概念是由心理學(xué)家大衛(wèi)?艾爾金德在其1981年出版的經(jīng)典著作《忙碌兒童：成長(zhǎng)得太快》首次提出的。

One symptom of the hurried child syndrome is forcing pre-school children to constantly take classes and perform other "enrichment" exercises to help them prepare for school. This is also called hothousing and the superbaby syndrome.
