In many countries, it is important to have many children. In the US, a few religious groups emphasize（强调） the importance of large families, but most people think one or two children are enough, and many couples have no children.1. Having many children would restrict the freedom and individualism（个人主义） of the parents as well as the other children in the family.
Parents teach individualism by the way they raise their children.2. Parents begin teaching this self-reliance (自力更生)early , asking the child to do things on her own and praising her when she does.
3. They bring their children with them to church , to sporting events, to stores, and to social events.However , many places, such as expensive restaurants and live theatre productions , do not welcome children.Most formal social gatherings , those with written invitations do not welcome children either.
Children, especially boys are expected to be energetic and assertive(果敢的). 4. Parents are expected to keep their children under control at all times, particularly in public places and in the homes of others.When a child misbehaves , only the child's parents may discipline him.5. Most parents discipline（训导） their children by rewarding good behaviors, not by punishing bad behaviors.While a spanking（掴） , a slap to the child's buttocks(屁股)， is acceptable to some people, any punishment that wounds the child or leaves a mark is considered child abuse and is against the law.
A.The relationship between American parents and their children is harmony.
B.That doesn't mean, though, that they are allowed to "run wild" in public.
C.Because taking care of a child is very costly, financially, emotionally, and socially, many couples view large families as a disadvantage.
D.Other adults should not interfere （干涉）unless the child is doing something which may be harmful to himself.
E.American children are expected to accept invitations to a formal party.
F.Many parents want to expose（使暴露） their children to a variety of situations.
G.They want to create a self-reliant, independent child, who can make it on her own by age eighteen.
