They should give their children the freedom to make choices for themselves.Children cannot be happy if they don’t have control over their life,which in daily life,means they make choices for themselves,like,what to eat,what to wear,what career to take,what kind of spouse they are going to marry.Some parents may be open-minded enough to let their children to make these tiny decisions about food and clothes,but when it comes to the big ones,they are too anxious to let their children have a try. They used to be young and they made mistakes and now it is their sons and daughters’ turn to be young—the deep love and care is so intense that it becomes even suffocating--they are reluctant to give their children opportunities to start to be responsible for their own lives.
