How seriously should parents take kids’ opinions when searching for a home?

In choosing a new home, Camille McClain’s kids have single demand: a backyard.

McClain’s little one aren’t the only kids who have an opinion when it comes to housing, and in many cases youngsters’ views weigh heavily on parents’ real estate decisions, according to a 2024 Harris Poll survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults.

While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions, realty agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial, personal and long-term effects kids’ opinions may have.

The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process, said Ryan Hooper, a clinical psychologist in Chicago.

“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves, especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,”he said.

Greg Jaroszewski, a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates, said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home—but their opinions should be considered in regards to proximity to friends and social activities, if possible.

Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home—without actually getting a choice in the matter, said Adam Bailey, a real estate attorney based in New York.

Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel like they’re being included in the decision-making process, Bailey said.

Many of the aspects of homebuying aren’t a consideration for children, said Tracey Hampson, a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita, Calif. And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.

“Speaking with children before you make a real estate decision is wise, but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.”Hampson said.

The other issue is that many children-especially older ones-may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows, said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside, Calif.

“They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,” he said. “HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate. It’s not shelter, it’s a lifestyle. With that mindset change come some serious money consequences.”

Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally, Norris said, Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time, said Julie Gurner, a real estate analyst with FitSmallBusiness.com.

“Their opinions can change tomorrow,”Gurner said.“Harsh as it may be to say, that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions, but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best-and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.”

This advice is more relevant now than ever before, even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children, despite the current housing crunch.

It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot.He had such a pleasant, readable style that are might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say, “1 could write a book, I just haven't the time” Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”.While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent,the final polished work that he have to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literacy field was no exception.

Section III （参考译文）

人们很容易低估英国作家詹姆斯.赫里奥尔。大家可能认为，他的这种令人愉快、易读 的风格，任何人都可以模仿它。我很多次听到人们说，“我也可以写一本书。我只是没有时 间。”说的容易，做起来可难。与大众观点相反的是，正如詹姆斯.赫略所说，在他早期的 “尝试写作这种游戏”时并不是很容易的。虽然他显然拥有丰富的天赋，但最终，他为世界 呈现的经过润色的作品，其实是他经历了多年的练习、重写和阅读的结果。和大多数作家一 样，他不得不在一路上经历许多失望和拒绝，但这些都使他更加坚定了成功的决心。他在生 活中所取得的一切都是经历了艰辛的，而他在文学领域的成功也不例外。
