The Distance Between Parents and Children 父母與孩子的距離

Chinese parents are believed to be the most responsible parents in the world, they would do anything for their kids, such as washing their clothes and cleaning their bedroom just to let the children have more time to study. When the children grow up, the parents are willing to buy a house for them. While in the western countries, when the kids are above 16, parents expect them to move out, because both of them need personal space. I think there should be some distance between the old and the young, or the overprotection will do nothing good for both sides. It is important to learn to be independent for the children. Distance can create the chance to let them learn to deal with their stuffs and become mature. Parents should let go in the right time.

中國的父母被認為是世界上最負責任的父母，因為他們愿意為他們的孩子做任何事，比如給孩子們洗衣服，打掃臥室，只是為了讓孩子們有更多的學習時間。當孩子們長大了，父母愿意給他們買房子。而在西方國家，當孩子們16歲以后，父母就希望他們搬出去，因為雙方都需要私人空間。我認為老一代和年輕人之間應該有一定距離，否則過度的保護對雙方都不好。對孩子來說重要的是要學會獨立，距離可以創造機會，讓他們學會處理自己的事情，變得成熟。父母應該在恰當的時間放手。
