"كلما كان الطفل مملًا أكثر، تلقى الآباء المزيد من الثناء على أنهم آباء جيدون عند التباهي بالطفل – لأن لديهم مخلوقًا مطيعًا في بيتهم."

Simplified Meaning:

When parents have a quiet and well-behaved child, they often get more praise from others. People think these parents are doing a great job because their child doesn't cause any trouble. However, a child who is too calm might just be acting this way to meet their parents' expectations, rather than being their true self. For example, if a kid sits still and doesn't talk much at a family gathering, others might say, "What a well-mannered child!" But this doesn't necessarily mean the child is happy or thriving. Parents should focus more on their child's genuine happiness and interests rather than just trying to impress others with their child's behavior. Instead of aiming for a picture-perfect image, they should encourage their child's unique personality and natural curiosity.
