[ 2009-09-03 16:43 ]
周末的早晨，本該是學(xué)生和上班族們在家補(bǔ)覺的時(shí)間，可是在公交車上總是能看到一對對母女、祖孫、父子或母子們背著書包，拎著琴盒、畫板之類的物件奔向某個(gè)“班”的上課地點(diǎn)。“現(xiàn)在的孩子真累！”身邊很多同齡人都這樣感嘆過。沒辦法，誰叫他們趕上hurried child syndrome的盛行期了呢。
Hurried child syndrome refers to a condition in which parents overschedule their children's lives, push them hard for academic success, and expect them to behave and react as miniature adults.
Hurried child syndrome（忙碌兒童綜合癥/揠苗助長綜合癥）指的是家長將孩子的生活安排得過滿、極力要求孩子在學(xué)業(yè)上取得佳績，并且希望孩子像小大人一樣行為和做事的現(xiàn)象。
The concept of the hurried child was first proposed by child psychologist David Elkind in his now-classic 1981 book The Hurried Child: Growing Up Too Fast.
“忙碌兒童”這個(gè)概念是由心理學(xué)家大衛(wèi)?艾爾金德在其1981年出版的著作《忙碌兒童：成長得太快》首次提出的。
One symptom of the hurried child syndrome is forcing pre-school children to constantly take classes and perform other "enrichment" exercises to help them prepare for school. This is also called hothousing (1985) and the superbaby syndrome (1983).
忙碌兒童綜合癥的癥狀之一就是強(qiáng)迫學(xué)齡前兒童不斷參加各種班和特長培訓(xùn)，以幫助他們?yōu)槿雽W(xué)做好準(zhǔn)備。這種現(xiàn)象也被稱為“溫室培育”（1985）和“超級寶貝綜合癥”（1983）。
