Cotton wool kids. Bubble-wrap kids. Unfamiliar to these terms yet? Sad to know that how parents risk raising a generation of cotton wool kids who are overprotected and growing up as ‘home hermits’ who lack the key skills vital for coping with the ups and downs of later life. “Today’s 5-year-olds were acting at the level of 3-year-olds 60 years ago, and today’s 7-year-olds were barely approaching the level of a 5-year-old 60 years ago” psychologist Elena Bodrova at Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning explains. “So the results were very sad”. A critical research that urges our serious attention, really…or you may think that the statistics do not represent the situation here; an Astro Program in Channel 311 over the weekend discussed this issue here in Malaysia, sounded worse unfortunately. 棉花孩子？气泡膜孩子？还没听说过？草莓族呢？ 很值得反思的日趋严重的社会问题。父母的溺爱让孩子对未来的社会无所适从，甚至崩溃。 数据显示，现在的五岁孩子仅是六十年前的三岁孩子，七岁孩子也仅有五岁孩子的能力，很遗憾，社会的进步并没有把教育带上。 认为这只是单一数据，不够全面？上个周末 Astro 311 频道 fun 煲新闻就探讨了马来西亚这个问题, 大问题。
