Different cultures make different families. For example, there are differences（差异）in the way Chinese people and Americans raise（培养）children.First, Chinese and American families have different ideas towards independence (独立). It is not surprising to see Chinese parents always helping their children with getting dressed, having meals, bathing, and other things. American parents, on the other hand, teach their children what to do with things by themselves.

Second, most Chinese parents ask their children to have extra classes arranged（安排）for them, such as piano, drawing, or singing lessons. Parents want their children to develop interests in all way and be better students than other children. The problem is that their children may not be interested in these classes. American parents try to respect (尊重) their children’s interests and usually don’t ask them do what they don’t like.

Third, there is a difference in the way parents in China and American treat（对待）children’s mistakes. When Chinese parents see their children make mistakes, they often hit them and do not make them realize their mistakes. This is bad for the children’s growth. American parents think it is common（普遍的）for people to make mistakes because mistakes are part of life. They often say, “It’s OK to make mistakes. Making mistakes helps you learn.”

Families in China and America are quite different, and one way may seem better than the other, but it is better to think about whether（是否）the way of raising children fits the family or not instead of talking about which one is wrong or right.
