范文文本

As our living standards are gradually being improved by the advancement of science and technology, parents tend to spoil their children by providing them with an excessive amount of material care, such as pocket money and electronics.As a result, nowadays children have been observed to throw a tantrum a lot more frequently.This gives rise to a debate over the most effective measure of disciplining children.Personally, I deem spending more time to communicate with children the best solution to the behavioral problems of children.

段落分析

开头句先给出大背景环境，将题目限定在一定范围之内。接着两句给出这种背景下引发的问题及其严重性，给予分析问题的价值。最后一句话表明自己的观点和立场。

这种拉长背景线的方式比较常规，但相对于“Some people believe...while others...”的模板化写法，比较不容易让考官产生审美疲劳。

观点

比较逻辑，与孩子进行交流的方式与后文提到的读亲子教育类书籍相比更有针对性，使父母能根据孩子的不同情况处理问题。

First of all, only by openly talking to them can parents have an idea of what their children are actually thinking, and thus take a more personalized approach.While some parents deeply believe in the content of the so called “parenting” books one can easily buy in a bookstore, my opinion is that raising a child is not that simple.What I believe is that these books only provide standardized and common approaches that supposedly work on every child, and it is up to us to determine which method is the most suitable for our children.In order to do so, we need to communicate with them in order to find out about their true feelings and who they really are.Only after doing this can we proceed to selecting one of the existing methods whose efficacy has been proven and try to make our children behave.

Second of all, by talking to them and reasoning with them in order to get them on board with our methods, parents are raising their children to be more reasonable people.A reasonable person must respond to concrete reasoning.If children behave themselves only because their parents told them so, it is likely that they would not be able to listen to any reason as grownups.In other words, if they merely obey their parents out of their authority, then without the power of authority, they will not be convinced by normal reasoning.Take myself as an example, my parents never ordered me to do anything without explaining to me why I am forbidden to do so.For example, my parents told me not to make a scene in a shopping mall when I don’t get to buy what I want because I was not mature enough to know what was good for myself, and temporarily, my parents would make those decisions for me.Despite that I did not really understand why I was not mature enough back then, I listened to their reasoning.And now, I am grateful to my parents for raising me as a reasonable person.

观点展开

盲目听从父母的孩子，长大以后很可能成为一个不讲道理的人。对比论证。

Last but not least, in comparison with the other two solutions, which could only solve the superficial problems, talking with their children can solve the problem on a more profound and fundamental level.In other words, by doing so, parents can make their children behave for good, instead of merely disciplining them for a little while.This is because limiting certain types of TV shows and movies and supervision cannot concretely convince the children that these limitations are reasonable, and thus the only driving force behind children’s compliance is the authority of their parents.

In a nutshell, I tend to believe that spending time talking with children is the best solution to children’s behavioral problems.
