媒体调查显示 多数孩子不愿被迫表演

Most children feel reluctant to show their talents or skills in front of others although their parents and grandparents keep prodding them to do so, according to a survey by Tianfu Morning News.

根据《天府早报》进行的一项调查显示，尽管家长和祖父母辈一直怂恿孩子在别人面前展示自己的天赋或才能，但大部分孩子不愿意这么做。

Many parents urge their children to give a public performance by singing a song, reciting a poem or dancing during family gatherings or at important festivals.

很多家长会在家庭聚会或重要节日期间鼓励孩子进行唱歌、背诗或跳舞等表演。

3名学生称可以表演擅长的节目；仅1名学生乐意表演节目。

Lin Da, who offers psychological counseling services in Chengdu, said some children can become more extroverted thanks to the support of parents, but there are also parents who actually try to earn admiration for themselves by forcing their children to perform publicly.

Parents need to be careful in using words like "worthless", or "coward" to describe their children, Lin said.
