write an essay: parents know what is the best for their child
Ответы
Surely many of you have heard “I’m your mother (father) so I know what is the best for you!”.
But do parents really know what is best for their children? Do they realise what their child is really capable of? For example, they rarely understand how schools work unless they are teachers themselves or have relatives who are teachers. If their child broke a leg they would not try to fix it themselves. They would take the child to a health care professional. So why is it so hard for some parents to take their child to an education professional? Unfortunately, children don't come with a manual - imagine how great that would be! Maybe then parents would make less mistakes. Certainly parents should be part of the decision about the child’s education. It is horrible when parents demand inappropriate programs for their child and not accept the truth that a child with a low IQ should not go to college or university.
I think parents should stand by their children and support them all the time. They should give them love and encouragement. But sometimes parents do not allow their children to follow their own path. Parents want their children to achieve more than they did. They want their children to have what they could not have. So with all these good intentions in mind, they seem to think that they know what is best for their children. Though many times what the parents want for their children is passed off as their expectations for them. For example, they try to dictate to their children that a certain occupation is better than what they want. It is sad that they do not care about what their children really want.
So many children are left with the task of trying to meet the expectations of their parents and not trying to figure out what makes them happy. Children need to be able to make their own decisions. Everyone needs to explore the opportunities and challenges they are faced with and learn from their own mistakes.
