In China, some parents do almost everything for their children these days. They look on their older children or sometimes even adults as babies! It is a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child.

Some parents don’t let children do chores or go anywhere by themselves. As a result, their children can’t do anything by themselves and have to depend more on them.

In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy to know that. As a result of too much care, their children don’t know anything about the world! Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care spoils(破坏)their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these children may be in great trouble.

It is nice that parents show their care to their children, it is nice that children know that their parents’ love is out of love, and it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need, and how much love is too much.
