参考范文It is nothing unusual to findoverprotective parents who help their children in all aspects of life. Thequestion is, are they sure their heart loaded with love will bring good totheir children? Let’s look at the real situation of the second-rich generation.Some of them, rather than becoming the second-strong generation, becomes thedefeated generation which is notorious for their life focused on consumptionrather than creation.Because of the changes of educationin history, most Chinese parents, though successfully accumulate wealth, don’tknow much about the right value they should pass on to the new generation. Theyhave tried all that they can to be good parents while neglecting the core valuethey should address, which is INDEPENDENCE.How should parents help children tobe independent?They should give their children thefreedom to make choices for themselves. Children cannot be happy if they don’thave control over their life, which in daily life, means they make choices forthemselves, like, what to eat, what to wear, what career to do, what kind ofspouse they are going to marry. Some parents may be open-minded enough to lettheir children to make these tiny decisions about food and clothes, but when itcomes to the big ones, they are too anxious to let their children have a try.They used to be young and they made mistakes and now it is their sons and daughters’turn to be young—the deep love and care is so intense that it becomes evensuffocating--they are reluctant to give their children opportunities to startto be responsible for their own lives.
