I am a volunteer in a elementary school. My primary task is talking and playing with American kids. The first time I talked wiht them, they felt very shy. However, if they regard you as their friend, they would become open-minded and sociable. They also like to tell you their secrets
If in the public areas, it depends on their personalities. If a kid is extrovert. He likes active. In contrast, if a kid is introverted, he may very shy in the public areas.
I interviewed some older American people. I realized that they are very emphasize the quality of life when they get older. They don't care how old they are. They would prefer to live naturally. They don't like to bother their children and like to live lonely.
I agree with you that children are active anyway. They have no stress, and can enjoy anytime.
回复删除I would say American kids are hyperactive. I still remember I went for family cuisine and conversation during summer and their kids are so active. We played basketball after our dinner. They won't feel tired and my host mother told me that their ambition is to be either a lawyer or an athlete.
回复删除For elderly, they don't want to disturb their children as they know everyone has their own life and family. I think they would rather to choose to go to retirement community and expect their children to visit them once in a while.
