Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most importantdecision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s allfor the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth andeducation tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up anafterschool class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a goodschool, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all.InAmerica, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions.Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, butChinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in theperspective of education as the American parents do.
