Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children． They see their older children as babies all the time! 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 go anywhere or do anything by themselves． So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent（依赖的）on 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 anything about the world． Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems． Too much care damages their fun when they are growing up． And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents， these children will be in a big trouble!
