3.2.2 故事《无处不在》

One problem that a lot of Chinese parents have about family education is they do education talk too much. They try to make use of every teachable moment with the best intention of making their kids the most successful ones; however, all kids are against this education approach from the bottom of their hearts. The writer of this article got his writing inspiration from sharing a table with a Chinese family of three in a local popular noodle restaurant. A few observations that he made about the mom and the son started this article. 作者：李黎来源：三联生活周刊在一家面馆吃饭，因为人多，不得不和一家三口挤在一张小桌子上。对面的小孩突然站起来，回来时手上多了一瓶宝蓝色的饮料，很漂亮，也不乏夸张。父亲说："什么饮料，让我喝一口，以前都没见过。"小孩说："我也是没喝过才买的。"父子俩其乐融融地喝着，母亲伸手说"给我看看"，端详了一阵后带着几分激动说："这么一点水里添加了多少东西！白砂糖、浓缩苹果汁、食用香精、添加剂（柠檬酸，柠檬酸钠）、维生素C、食醋、烟酚胺……"念着念着就脸色大变："这种饮料不能喝，不健康，要吃就吃水果，喝水就喝矿泉水。" 儿子不服气，刚想说几句，堆得很高的大碗面端上来了。我第一个上，随后他们三位全都上来，儿子带着几分不爽地吃了起来，头也不抬。这家面馆是老字号，卫生条件令人担忧，但味道绝佳，可以自由组合。我要了一份熏鱼面，外加了小排、蔬菜和兰花干，堆得极高。这又让那位母亲侧目，不断地对丈夫和孩子说："以后你也可以多加一点。"说了几次，她醒悟过来："要不你现在就加一点吧。" 但没有得到响应。做妈妈的对儿子说："吃一点我的小排。"小孩说："不想吃。"做妈妈的非常不高兴，不断地说："不管什么东西，要尝试一下再做决定，特别是美食，你不尝试一下怎么知道它的味道呢。来，吃一块小排。" 我很惭愧加了这么多的浇头，但这家面馆确实是我的最爱之一，尤其是它的辣椒，超级辣，方圆几十里之内没有超过它的。实际上它非常不营养，绝大多数的菜以及面汤本身都是甜的，加了很多白糖，我只在周末来吃一碗，过一次瘾。于是我又加了一点辣椒。小孩已经吃好了，左顾右盼，但不愿意看着妈妈。做妈妈的只得追随着儿子的目光，看到墙上挂的一幅书法作品。她对儿子感慨说："这个字写得多好啊，气势很壮观，以后你一定要写得这么好。"我有点诧异，这幅字我看了几十上百遍了，应该是某个老主顾给面馆写的，八个字："万事如意，一切OK。"有龙飞凤舞的气势，甚至可以看到刻意的飞白，但作为书法作品太牵强。走出面馆后，我心里涌起一阵阵愚蠢的满足感。因为我发现时至今日很多家长依然和当年我们这一代人的父母一样，首先想要给孩子最好的教育，其次把最多的教育当成了最好的教育。教育无处不在，于是小孩时刻烦躁也时刻准备着造家长的反。我的满足感来源于，我经历过这些又常常目睹这些，决心给自己的女儿一定的空间，即专门抽时间陪她玩，陪她虚度光阴。支持我这一观点的是《七堂极简物理课》开篇一句话："少年时代的爱因斯坦曾度过一年无所事事的时光。很可惜，现在很多青少年的父母经常会忘记这样一个道理：一个没有'浪费'过时间的人终将一事无成。" ——摘自http://www.lifeweek.com.cn/2016/0905/48126.shtml
