I really appreciate the words a mother wrote in an article I read. She told her daughter to live in her own way instead of caring about others’ judgment. She said to a man who always scolded his daughter: “When I was a child, I was told I couldn’t do anything by myself. It took a lot of hard work and patience to get me to learn things, things that I can easily do on my own.”

    I absolutely agree with the mother. When we were small, we were treated as children: our parents and other adults thought we couldn’t do things by ourselves. We were restricted from participating in adventurous activities. What’s more, we were often forced to do the things that we didn’t really like, with parents accompanying.

    But according to a survey, parents had better give children enough space to grow up. Only in this way can we understand life on our own and face difficulties by ourselves. Then, we can live our lives bravely. Besides, parents can cultivate children’s creativity and curiosity in this way.

    If all parents encourage their children to grow up independently and allow them to have their own space, our children will become more creative, and our country will become more developed.
