Parents should allow children to make their own choices rather than determine their children’s future for them.
When we are growing up, there are countless situation where we have to make choices such as choosing schools, selecting majors, finding jobs and so forth. Some parents -- to make sure that their children are always in the right track which they believe -- like to arrange everything for their children. From my aspect, however, I do not think this kind of doing is good. Here are two reasons.
First of all, children should be cultivated to make decisions for themselves because parents are impossible to accompany with them all the life. It is common to see parents in China make decisions for the early decades years of their children. They decide the schools in which their children should study, arrange jobs for their children by their yearly accumulated social network, and even appoint a “matching” spouse to their children. Year by year, those children gradually lose the ability of making decisions or addressing troubles which is important when they start to work. When they meet difficulties in work that their parents can do nothing, they fall in frustration, exposing all their weakness which finally stop their further development in professional career.
Secondly, no ones else can know and understand one person except him/herself. When people choose appropriate schools, majors, jobs or even the Ms./Mr. Right, personal interest, value and ability are the most important things should be taken into consideration. The top 10 law school may not suitable for children who are actually talents of painting. The good-return jobs like accountant may be not suitable for children who want to be scientists. And the most good-looking ones are not suitable for people who actually do not care that. Once parents force their children to accept the choice they made, their children’s future may be dim but not brilliant.
In conclusion, children should be encouraged and respected to make choices by themselves. In this way, their ability of addressing all kinds of issues can be improved so that they will not be afraid when their parents leave them alone to face difficulties. Meanwhile, “I think, therefore I am”. Children sure can have a brilliant future by years of having freely developed talents which discovered in the journey of finding themselves. They pay full concentration to the majors they choose, pay all enthusiasm to the jobs they like, and are happy all their life with the one they love. When things happen like this, every parent will be proud of their children and feels happy. This is the “right track”. |
