In bringing up children, every parent, regardless of ethnicity, income, education or geographic location, watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill. However, it is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, which can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use toilet too early ; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities,he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matter, others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own benefit. Besides, the generation gap between parents and children really refers to poor or lack of communication. It is good to note that the generation gap doesn’t apply to all families. Most often it comes down to the parents and children having different opinions and values. As far as I’m concerned, I think that parents should understand that children need space.
They should keep an eye on their children but shouldn’t impose any restrictions on them.
