ABSTRACT
In response to the abundance of parenting literature and a contemporary emphasis on expertise, recent scholars have suggested that how we parent should be determined by values and a family’s particular needs, a combination often referred to as practical wisdom. In this article, I build on previous calls for an ethical approach to being a parent. I argue that being able to share and cultivate one’s unique personality and have one’s aptitudes and interests recognized is a key condition of living well and that parents play an important role in helping their children know and realize their gifts. I put forth an exercise for attending to children, the descriptive review of the child. In doing so, I first describe this practice, illustrate it, and then explain how it can help one live well as a parent.

这个孩子:支持父母道德的描述性评论
摘要
为了回应丰富的育儿文献和当代对专业知识的强调,最近的学者建议我们如何育儿应该由价值观和家庭的特殊需求决定,这种组合通常被称为实践智慧。在这篇文章中,我建立在以前呼吁采取道德方法做父母的基础上。我认为,能够分享和培养自己独特的个性,并让自己的才能和兴趣得到认可是过上美好生活的关键条件,而且父母在帮助孩子了解和实现自己的天赋方面发挥着重要作用。我提出了一个关注孩子的练习,对孩子的描述性回顾。在这样做时,我首先描述这种做法,说明它,然后解释它如何帮助一个人生活得很好。
