Parents Should Help Children to Be Independent

Inour country, the only-one child policy has made more and more parents pay somuch attention to their children that they would like to replace their childrento do everything, including study, work and even marriage. This notion hasgiven to many problems for children’s grow-ups. Therefore, our parents shouldlearn to help their children to be independent.

在我國，由于計劃生育政策使越來越多的家長更加的重視他們的孩子，以至于他們愿意為他們的孩子做任何事情，包括學習，工作，甚至婚姻。這樣的觀念給孩子的成長帶來了許多問題。因此，父母應該幫助孩子獨立。

Thereare some suggestions given to our parents. For one thing, it is quite importantfor our parents to realize that their children will grow up and have their ownideas and thoughts as time goes by. Thus, children should be encouraged to makesome decisions alone in some matters so that they are able to pursue what theywant. And this would also make contribution to solve what we called “generationgap.”

這是給父母的一些建議。首先，讓我們的父母認識到隨著時間的流逝他們的孩子會長大而且也會有自己的想法是很重要的。因此，在某些事情上應該鼓勵孩子獨自做出決定，這樣他們才可以追求他們想要的東西。這也將有利于解決我們所謂的“代溝”問題。

Foranother, our parents should believe that their children have enough ability todeal with their personal matters and differentiate between good and evil.Hence, parents should give some family chores to their children properlybecause it is a good chance to train them.

另一方面，我們的父母應該相信他們的孩子有足夠的能力來處理他們的個人事務，明辨是非。父母應該給孩子做一些家務因為這是訓練他們的好機會。

Ofcourse, I am not saying that our parents should not help their children whenthey are getting into trouble, but I contend that our parents should give theirchildren a free hand in some matters to help them to be independent.

當然，我不是說我們的父母不應該在他們的孩子陷入麻煩的時候幫助他們，但我認為，父母應該在某些問題方面給孩子自主決定權來幫助他們獨立。
