Is there such a thing as being “over-protective”?
I can honestly say that my answer1.that question has changed dramatically(戏剧性地)since I became a parent.
Before the birth of my daughter,I taught at a private school,often2.(view) my students as over-protected, worrying3.would happen to them when they went on to middle schools.
Some did fine,and some did not.Some needed constant pats on the back,words of encouragement and extra support,which I4.(happy) gave.Others5.(satisfy) with themselves,needing little or no interaction(互动)with their teacher.6.for the most part,graduates would go on for higher schooling.
I'd always taken it for granted7.their parents were over-protective,for they were the ones that still walked their8.(five) graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate.
Admittedly,I laughed at those parents,thinking their children would never learn to be9.(dependent) if they didn't let go just a little.Then I had my own daughter. The moment I looked at her little face,I knew I'd do everything in my power10.(protect) her and make sure she always felt safe!
