喂养新世代:从儿童自主进食看中国家庭的抚育逻辑

Feeding in the New Generation:Research on the Upbringing Logic of Chinese Families from Baby-Led Weaning

本文通过对代际特征的观察,以流行于中国家庭的“儿童自主进食”喂养方式作为切入点,检视了部分中国80后.90后父母充满张力的现代抚育逻辑。研究发现,比起单纯规训儿童与树立家长权威,寻求个人认同、疏解自身文化焦虑是他们积极投身教养实践的新动因。他们以追求天然、清淡的饮食方式来应对社会风险,进而塑造自身懂节制、不溺爱的教养者形象;他们让孩子自己进食,并容忍就餐过程中的无序与混乱,以此来践行以儿童为本位、尊重其身心发展规律的抚育方式;他们推行亲子间的分餐制度,却很难改变自己的饮食方式,这也体现出家长在塑造有别于自己的“新世代儿童”时的反思与局限。

Through the introduction of the observation of intergenerational features,the“Baby-Led Weaning”feeding method popular in the families of China is taken as the starting point.Based on this,the modern rearing logic*of some Chinese post-80s and post-90s parents full of internal tension is examined.According to the research,it is found that the seeking of personal identity and the relieving of their own cultural anxiety are the new motivation for them to actively participate in the practice of rearing in contrast with the simple regulation on children and the establishment of parental authority.Through the pursuit of a natural and light diet to cope with social risks,the image of educ ators who know moderation and don't spoil children is then shaped.By letting their children eat by themselves and tolerating disorders and chaos in the process of eating,the child-centered parenting method that respects the law of their physical and mental development is practiced.The parent-child separate dieting system is implemented by them,hut it is difficult to change their own dieting way.This also embodies the reflection and limitations of parents in creating a"new generation of children different from their own life world.
