人们常管老人叫“老小孩儿”。随着生理功能的下降,不少老年人的心理、脾气和行为变得越来越像小孩子。如果子女对老人真的像对待小孩一样去沟通,不但适得其反,甚至还会损害他们的健康。国外有一项研究显示,经常像对待小孩一样跟老人说话,会让老人折寿。研究人员对660名年过50岁的人进行长期调查后发现,把常用于孩子的词用在老人身上,会让老人感觉心情沉重、自尊心受损,进而影响健康。就 People often call the elderly called “old children ”. With the decline of physiological function, many elderly people’s psychology, temper and behavior become more and more like children. If the children really communicate to the elderly like treating their children, it will not only be counterproductive but may even harm their health. A study abroad shows that often speaking to the elderly like treating children makes the elderly lose their life. After a long-term survey of 660 people over the age of 50, the researchers found that using the words commonly used for children on the elderly can make the elderly feel heavy and their self-esteem is impaired, thus affecting their health. on
