Comment on "Pay attention to joys learning brings"(China Daily, March 20)

Nowadays Chinese parents have misled their children into believing that study is their only goal in life, so they can achieve a better career and earn more money. The parents think studying hard is the children's only task, and tend to over protect their children by sweeping away any difficulty. It's a social disease that Chinese parents always try to give the children the best without realizing what they are doing just erodes their children's independence in the long run. Parents should change their behavior, because what children need to learn at an early age, is not just knowledge but also their future responsibilities.
