A soap opera called Tiger Mother and Cat Father is popular in China now. The tiger mother is pretty strict with her daughter and the little girl is not allowed to watch TV or play computer games. On the other hand, she makes all efforts to buy the expensive house near the key school, in order to let her daughter have a better education. However, the cat father has an opposite view of how to raise their child. He gives his daughter more independence and doesn’t make many rules for her, “Tiger Mother” or “Cat Father”?

In China, it seems that in each family, there is a tiger mother and a cat father, even worse, some families have two tigers. Children can’t decide anything for themselves. What’s worse, Chinese mothers believe key schools will bring a better future to their children. This soap opera fully shows us a common problem in China. And maybe it is the real reason why such kind of TV shows can get popular.

Whether the tiger mother or the cat father, respecting (尊重) children and growing together are the keys to family education. Confidence, kindness, honesty and independence are more important than grades. Just like a poem said, “Educating children is like walking with a snail (蜗牛) and the steps are gentle and slow.”

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. We can dance, or play sports, such as swimming. We can forget about our problems, and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. We’ll feel good when we spend our time helping others. If we want to feel happier, do good things for someone.
