EP156 [全英]搬到澳洲后，我第一次发现原来童年可以长得这么不一样

So… a few weeks ago here in Sydney, my daughters were invited to one of their classmates’ birthday parties. And like every kid’s party, the kids were running around screaming, eating snacks, getting sugar highs… while the parents were all standing around awkwardly making small talk.And at some point, the conversation shifted to what the kids usually do on the weekends.And that was when I suddenly realized… wow.The difference between Asian parenting and Western parenting is way bigger than I thought.Because when I talked to a lot of Asian parents, the answers were usually things like:“Oh, my son has math tutoring on Saturday.”“My daughter does piano lessons and violin because she’s preparing for exams.”“We’re thinking about adding coding classes.”“My kid has swimming and tennis because maybe it’ll help with scholarships later.”And honestly… having grown up in Asia, none of this sounded strange to me.That was normal.That was childhood.But then I started talking to some local Australian parents.And the vibe was completely different.“Oh, we just went camping.”“My kids spent the whole weekend riding bikes with friends.”“We usually go to the park.”“My son plays rugby with his friends every Sunday.”“We try not to overschedule them.”And I remember standing there thinking… wait.These parents are raising kids with a completely different philosophy of childhood.<p style="color:#333333;font-weight:
