Brief translation…

Two 10-year-old girls from China have written an illustrated guide dispensing tips on countering the discipline tactics of their mothers. The book is a huge hit with kids 6yo to 12yo. Some examples:
第一招：你的老妈骂你的时候，你可以：看着其他的地方，想别的事情。不管，不听。性质：硬。注：不能经常用。
First tip: If your mom scolds you, you can try to be belligerent by looking at other places or letting your mind wander. Don’t bother, don’t listen. Note: You can’t use this method too often.
第四招：你老妈使劲骂你的时候，你还可以：趴在你妈身上哭。性质：软+软。注：可以经常使用
Fourth tip: When your mom is scolding you furiously, hug your mom and begin to cry. This "soft" method can be used constantly.

2nd tip is about them looking at stuff their moms are wearing if the mom wants eye contact and the 3rd tip is just crying if the mom is furious.

Tip 3 will never work on me. I get angrier if the kid cries.

Well, the Chinese professors just commented that moms need to pay attention to the children’s need for love and affection, and to nag less.
