woman worker, "I was taken aback when I was first asked the question 'Do you really know your child?'"

    Jiang Bo, her 14-year-old son, was a second-year student of Hujialou Middle School in Beijing's Chaoyang District. Of six courses, he failed three of his first term exams. Xiao got angry and beat him, but he showed no improvement.
    It was not until she took courses in a parents' school that she realized beating is pointless. The following term, Jiang Bo succeeded in all his lessons and helped teach his mother English.

    "Children are easily affected," said Ding Rong, "the disharmony, and often the disputes in a family places the child in an awkward position. "
    Parents, who are the first teachers of their children, need not only to instruct, but to.be educated, even by their children, said an expert.
    One pupil complained in a composition that his father, a chain smoker, always left the smell of smoke in the living room and he could not do his homework there.
    Another wrote that his father often played mahjong and the noise kept him awake most of the night.

    "It's the father's fault not to educate his son himself," is an old saying. "But, it's also the father' s fault if he sets his son a bad example, " said Zhen Yan.
    Since China pursues the policy of "one child for one couple", many parents are expecting too much from their children.
    In Taoranting Primary School, Beijing , s Xuanwu District, 423 parents, over 87 per cent of the total surveyed, wanted their children to become university students. About half of them threaiened to punish their children if they did not pass their exams.

    A parents' school set up by the First Experimental Primary School suggested that parents allow their children to take over some household duties on Sundays to build up their sense of responsibility.
    Some parents admitted they ignored the physiological and psychological changes in their children and thus treated them with beatings and scoldings.
     A parent said, "After attending the class, I know more about my child and she also understands me more. "
