Ah, yes, the classic 'back in my day' argument. I heard something similar from my uncle about letting him figure things out on his own more, rather than being so hands-on with his homework.
English
啊，是的，经典的‘在我那个年代’论点。我叔叔也说了类似的话，关于让詹姆斯多自己解决问题，而不是我们在他作业上太亲力亲为。

It's tough, isn't it? On one hand, you want to respect their experience, but on the other, things have changed so much. How do we even begin to decide what to take on board and what to politely brush off?
English
这很难，是吧？一方面，你想尊重他们的经验，但另一方面，事情变化太大了。我们该如何决定采纳什么，又该如何礼貌地拒绝什么呢？

Exactly. I think for the screen time, a strict ban isn't realistic, but maybe we could re-evaluate our current limits. It's a valid concern, even if the delivery was a bit old-school.
English
没错。我觉得对于屏幕时间，严格禁止是不现实的，但也许我们可以重新评估我们目前的限制。这是一个合理的担忧，即使表达方式有点老套。

That's a fair point. And with your uncle's advice, I get where he's coming from. We do tend to hover a bit with the homework, don't we? Maybe we could give him more space to struggle and learn.
English
这说得有道理。至于你叔叔的建议，我明白他的意思。我们确实有点在作业上过度干预，不是吗？也许我们可以给他更多空间去摸索和学习。

We definitely could. Ultimately, we know James best, and we need to find what works for our family, not just what worked for previous generations.

True. So, for the screen time, we'll tell my mom we're considering her feedback and re-evaluating, without promising anything specific. And for your uncle, we can say we're working on fostering more independence.
