Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies! It can be a very common problem in China, because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them to go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent on（依赖于）them!
In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care, their children don’t know a thing about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages(损害) their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t depend on their parents, these children will be in big trouble!
It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents’ care is out of love. Ant it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

The father was furious, ‘If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, go straight(笔直地) to your room and think about why you are so selfish(自私)!’
The little boy went to his room without saying anything and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed(平静) down, and started to think. ‘Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.’So he went to the little boy’s room.
