How Should Parents Help Children to be Independent

　　Nowadays, there is a growing concern over such a phenomenon, that is, some parents take care of almost everything concerned with their children, including study, work and marriage. Some parents believe that this is love, however, it is only to destroy children’s independence thoroughly.

　　For the future of the next generation, more efforts should be made by parents to help their children to be independent. The fundamental one is to cultivate the awareness, namely, the importance and necessity of being independent, which is supposed to begin from childhood. Children should be taught that no one can be stronger and more helpful than themselves in this world.

　　The quality of independence is so indispensable for us that parents had better act as a tutor, not a dictator. And only with parent's trust, can the next generation accumulate confidence step by step.
