The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival to the Chinese people.
Several days before the new year, we begin to prepare for it. My parents buy meat, fish and vegetables. Houses are cleaned up.
On the eve of the new year, the whole family get together and have a big dinner. After the meal we watch “the Spring Evening” on TV until twelve o’clock. On the first day of the new year, each of us is dressed in new clothes. When meeting others outside, we say “Happy New Year” to each other. We pay new year calls to friends and relatives. That day my parents and relatives give “Red-bags” (money) to us children. All of us have a great time.

Moms take care of their children’s life and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it’s common among all cultures. But times change and parents’ roles seem to be changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full-time jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.
Chinese TV show Where Are We Going, Dad? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures（冒险经历）of five celebrity（明星）dads who take trips with their young children and try to complete a set of tasks.

Psychologists（心理学家）say that a strong fatherly influence is important in a child’s development. Because fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things, and they also give them a sense of safety.

The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.
A mother’s love is important, and so is a father’s love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says, “It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”
