As a post-80s generation, I had the privilege of seeing this American drama in my childhood. I was fascinated by that time. I desperately want my parents to be able to live with us as equals in a heuristic, listening way like the Seavers.
Now I am also a mother, with a lovely six-year-old daughter. In my dealings with my children, I feel that I am not much different from my parents. The same can't help but want to establish their own authority, the same emotional arbitrariness to judge the child's behavior.
When I was a child, I read a lot of books, such as "Positive Discipline", "Love and Freedom", "Love and Independence", "Capturing the Sensitive Period of Children", "Sears Intimate Parenting" and so on. Trying to increase their cognition, increasing their understanding of children's behavior, and living a relatively peaceful life. Now that we are in elementary school, our studies, habits, and ways of making friends are also facing major changes. So, I came to the show for help. I wanted to write about my thoughts about each episode of the show. (Yes, it's going to be serialized)
Let's introduce this drama first. Of course, I don't value how many cameos there have since comedians called big stars (Brad Pitt, Little Plum, Matthew Perry, Hilary Swank Lamplights). That's right, in the 1980s, they were all tender enough to pinch out the water)
Chandler became Kelrol's boyfriend
Pete made two cameos, once to hook up with a new classmate of Carroll and once to make a charming singer who was in the spirit of fans
Little Plum was eventually adopted by the Silver family and became a member of the family
Hillary Little Plum Ben is too beautiful to be in the same frame
Premiered in 1985, Growing Pains is about the Seaver family living in the American suburb of Long Island (perhaps more appropriately by the term "urban suburbs"). They live in the suburbs of New York, where their father, Jason Seaver, is a psychiatrist and their mother, Maggie Seaver, a journalist, and they have three children: Mike, the eldest son of high school, Carol, the eldest daughter, and Ben, the youngest son of elementary school.
The eldest son, Mike, said that he remembered everything except for his studies, but he was brave, responsible, loving and principled. The attitude towards younger siblings is: only I can bully, others dare to say a word and try. (Got into a fight with a group of people for Kairol's reputation, and finally did not try to take drugs under the ridicule of her peers and the temptation of beautiful women)
The eldest daughter, Carol, is a standard schoolgirl, and her only interest is to learn. Because of the age difference with Mike, the two often hate each other and secretly compete for the small heel. The later changes are still not small, try to associate with young boys, and become friends with girls of the same age.
I couldn't even find The stills of Carroll, so I cut a picture directly
The youngest son, Ben, was nine years old when he started broadcasting, reading the third grade of primary school, looking at the appearance, a proper little angel. Survive between the antagonistic behaviors of two extreme older siblings. However, he still followed his brother's example and was often taken to the pit.
