What is Best for Children? (Please correct me!) Youngsters’ situation in life has changed dramatically. Raised on rationing, older generations have tried to prevent their children from the sufferings they have experienced in their own lives by putting them at ease and giving them as much as possible. Gone are the days when kids felt the need to work in order to contribute financially to the family. However, are these “loving parents” doing what is beneficial to the youths, or is it damaging to give them too much too soon in life? Most of good parents have decided to sacrifice their health and deprive themselves for their sons and daughters’ sake, so that they could be able to concentrate on other things apart from paying bills and focus, for instance, in study. This noble thought would put this new generation in advantage and let them achieve more things in life without so much effort, get a degree while going out, enjoying parties and travelling. Nowadays, a father does not encourage his son to settle down and raise a family because he knows how demanding it could be. Eternal Teenage Syndrome is a direct consequence of this. Youngsters don´t see effort and work as values, they are unprepared to face life without financial support, remain at their parents’ home indefinitely and feel frustrated. Despise their protective behavior, parents have failed at shielding this generation from pain. In conclusion, I believe that it is good and natural to want the best for our children, protect them and even help them to achieve certain things, but we should not fear of letting them work hard and fight for what they want, we need to teach them that effort is needed. And we must not forget that life is the best of teachers. Even failures and sufferings will help to make our children strong and self-sufficient.
