Dear Abby,

This is my first letter to you, although Ihave been reading your column for many years. I need an outside opinion.

I am a grandmother in my 70s and have justreturned from visiting my daughter, her husband and their three dearly lovedchildren--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of their parentingways.

For example: They lock the doors to theirchildren's bedrooms at night because the children might get out of their bedsand wander around the house, and we may not hear them."

 If one child should get punishment,all three are punished, and if one child says a naughty

word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth. I knowthese parents love their children very much, but are these ways of discipliningthem wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).

Dear Gram,

Children's bedroom doors should not belocked. Should a flash fire break out, it would be a nightmare (噩梦).Punishing all thechildren when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make themgrow up to hate each other. Children who use "naughty" words shouldnot be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-they should be taught the properand acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word.
