On Children is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand On Children rather than just read about it. In short: On Children (Chinese: 你的孩子不是你的孩子; pinyin: Nǐ de háizǐ bùshì nǐ de háizǐ; lit. ''Your Child is not Your Child'') is a 2018 ten-part Mandarin-language TV series, directed by Chen Wei-ling and starring Troy Liu, Wang Yu-xuan, and Hsin-Yu Ling, based on the novel by Wu Xiaole.

Key takeaways

On Children belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect On Children to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of On Children from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

On Children (Chinese: 你的孩子不是你的孩子; pinyin: Nǐ de háizǐ bùshì nǐ de háizǐ; lit. ''Your Child is not Your Child'') is a 2018 ten-part Mandarin-language TV series, directed by Chen Wei-ling and starring Troy Liu, Wang Yu-xuan, and Hsin-Yu Ling, based on the novel by Wu Xiaole. The plots are in anthology form with five different stories told in a world where individuals face the tragic consequences of social pressure, parental oppression and family dysfunction.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with On Children

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what On Children claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to On Children before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about On Children ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of On Children

In research: On Children appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses On Children in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: On Children is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010s anthology television series, 2010s horror television series, 2018 Taiwanese television series debuts, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for On Children outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
