Get tough with a teenage daughter and she’s likely to slam her bedroom door in protest. 如果你有一个长到十几岁的女儿，对她板脸训斥很可能让她躲进房间，摔上房门，以示抗议。 But console yourself that it’s worth it in the end – because being a pushy parent is the best way to prepare her for success, say researchers. 不过你可以自己安慰一下，告诉自己你这样做最终是值得的——因为专家研究发现，扮演一个严厉的家长是为自己的女儿铺下成功基石的最好方法。 Setting high standards means adolescent girls are less likely to become pregnant and suffer the setbacks in life that go with being a teenage mum, they found. 专家研究发现，对青春期的女孩严加管教能降低她们偷食禁果的可能性，从而让她们避开担当青少年单身母亲的人生弯路。 They also have more chance of going to university and are less likely to be unemployed or earn poor wages when they do get a job. 受到严格管教的女生走进大学校园的几率更大，因而在她们求职时较少遭遇无业游荡或薪资低廉的困境。 The University of Essex study said the benefit of pushy parents was most marked among the least academic teenagers, who often have no friends or teachers willing to encourage them. 埃塞克斯大学的这项研究表明，父母严加管教的效果在那些教育程度最低的青少年身上尤为明显。 |
