Taiwan's Helicopter Parents

I used to read an article about “Taiwan's Helicopter Parents” in Common Wealth magazine. After reading this article, I do not feel quite surprised about parents who overly spy on their children. Going to cram schools is always a common phenomenon that happens everywhere in Taiwan. In Taiwan, parents tend to control and interfere in children's life. Parents always make the decisions for us, such as which cram schools should go or which subjects should take. The most horrible part is that we are losing our independent thinking and the ability to solve problems when various circumstances come to us. I once went to Kaohsiung, and I saw that there are various cram schools nearby Kaohsiung train station. In front of the cram schools, there are a lot of parents waiting for their children. Every parent wants their children to be on the top of the society and outstanding among a group of people. Thus, they devote themselves to preparing their children's future. This is not a good phenomenon. If parents overly spy on their children, it will bring immaterial pressure to their children. For me, I do not want my parents to accompany me when I go to cram schools, either. Moreover, children might become even more dependent on their parents. It is quite a miserable thing if everything is well-prepared for you, and you do not have to make your own decisions. We are losing our ability gradually. Therefore, we should reconsider what is good for us.
