值得背的段落

# overparenting 不好

Research has linked overparenting to a wide range of negative outcomes, including low self-efficacy, depression, decreased school engagement and poor academic adjustment. Worst of all, acting as a go- between and swooping in to solve every minor problem can signal to young people that their parents think they’re incompetent and incapable of self-advocacy.

# helping kids maintain a healthy relationship with technology

Modernity is why she can get first-class cancer treatment in Malaysia, at a specialist hospital where they brag about their radiotherapy machine. Modernity is why we can buy the roast pig; it is why we feel that we have to eat it, even if perhaps we should not, because not eating it would fundamentally change who we are.

# 塑料袋不是邪恶的化身
