    The Lost Boy and Japan’s Parenting Debate
    A boy was lost in the woods while the family was foraging for wild vegetables. But then the story changed—he was lost because he had been abandoned by his parents and not just once, but twice in a very short period of time.
    Abuse? Monster parents? Or was it just bad parenting? Hardly anybody voiced support for the father; there was simply no debate about that. It was the consensus that the parents should not have let the boy out of their sight. Naoki Ogi, a TV personality and pedagogy expert, better known as "Ogi-mama," condemned the parents outright, saying this was neglect and abuse. He also noted and criticized how many parents in Japan tend to see their children as their personal possessions.
    One famous morning talk show host, Tomoaki Ogura, sympathized with the parents on Monday. On his Fuji TV show "Tokudane! " Mr Ogura said, "To say ’If you’re so bad, we can’t take you along, just stay here’ is valid way of scolding a child." Kiyomimi, a mother of a child nearly two years old tweeted, "Forced discipline is wrong, but when your child is throwing stones at people and cars, and won’t listen to reason, then what are you supposed to do?"
    So the Japanese public has spent this past week discussing good and bad parenting, and what is acceptable punishment and what is abuse.

答案     Parents are the Best Role Models
    The news that a boy was abandoned in the woods by his parents twice has shocked the public. One pedagogy expert claims it is neglect and abuse while some people argue it is valid when children are doing some bad. I believe that abandonment is not an appropriate way to discipline and educate children in most cases. The best parenting depends on parents themselves.
    It would be wrong to state that abandonment has no effect in teaching children especially when they are losing tempers and making an air in the public. But parents have to meditate on why they are doing so. Usually, children’s personalities and behaviors are deeply affected and forged by their parents. Therefore, abandonment only has short-term effect and does little to solve the most fundamental causes of children’s misbehavior. Indeed, it can even worsen the situation if parents are doing wrong at the same time.
    There are a number of alternative forms of discipline that could work more efficiently in good parenting. One of these is for parents to restrain themselves and set a good example for children to follow. For example, if parents want children to stay away from iPad and other electronic products. They should not be addicted to iPad or cell phones all the time. Another practical way is to read more books on the education of children and care more about their mental health. Good parenting is far from dedicating food and fashionable clothes. A better understanding and company play more important roles in children’s growth.
    In conclusion, I do believe abandonment has limited effect on educating children. Parents should influence them by their deeds and spend more time to accompany their children.
