近期改变的计划

3. Why do you think parents still make plans for their children nowadays?

答案:

Parents continue to make plans for their children today for several compelling reasons. Firstly, they often feel a strong sense of responsibility to guide their children towards success, particularly in an increasingly competitive world. By organizing activities, educational opportunities, and career paths, parents aim to provide their children with a solid foundation for their future.

Moreover, many parents believe that their experiences and knowledge can significantly influence their children's choices, helping them avoid potential pitfalls. This protective instinct often leads to structured environments that they feel are conducive to personal development. However, it's essential to balance parental guidance with the child's need for independence and self-discovery. Ultimately, while the intentions behind these plans are usually well-meaning, fostering open communication can ensure that children's voices are heard in their journey of growth.
