Un enfant bien élevé est un enfant qui ne pense pas qu'à lui,il doit etre généreux.Mais est ce que cela releve de l'education ou de sa nature?En tous les cas c'est un etre sociable ;meme s'il doit apprendre les bonnes manieres et la discretion ,il ne faut pas le transformer en singe savant,car l'enfant ideal n'existe pas . Il faut donc deja lui reconnaitre une certaine identite(en le laissant etre spontané pour certains élans),sans quoi,plus tard, il aura du mal a s'epanouir dans certains domaines.

It seems that many of the French students think that a well behaved child knows what he should or should not do. A well behaved child should know the rules of politeness and how to act in general. American students often replied that a well behaved child listens to his parents, follows what they say, and other specific actions. Is it that we are speaking of different age groups because the responsibilities seem to be different?

It sounds like french kids are expected to be polite and not bothersome. Do french parents give that much freedom to their kids? I know that in the US parents try to control everything that goes on in a child's life. A well behaved child is considered to be one that follows all of his parent's orders.
