Today in China, many families have only one child. So the children usually doted upon by all family members. Gradually some of them get used to depending on their parents and family members, as a result they lack the ability to face their lives by themselves.
There are some ways to help children to be independent. First, the child should have a chance to see the world around him individually to understand that there are various people and competitions in their lives, and learn to find his right position in the society only by individual efforts. Second, it is impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at once.The parents may give the child enough help and space to make him feel comfortable. A child needs help from their families. Because without any help, the child may lose his faith. Thirdly, parents can help their children make their own decisions, which can challenge his ability to deal with problems. A child should be praised when he is successful or encouraged when he fails.

How should parents help children to be independent?
This is a thought-provoking social phenomenon that parents monopolize their children’s everything. From going to university, selecting majors to hunting for a job, parents make every crucial decision for their sons and daughters.
No doubt, what the parents do leads to a most serious problem—children are badly dependent on parental help. Every morning the children wake up, but they don’t know what they should do and how they could do. They lose the ability to take care of themselves, and in turn, lose the opportunity to succeed.
Stop! Please. Don’t keep on spoiling the children anymore, because they need independence. These are some suggestions for parents. Firstly, parents should create an independent climate for their children. Secondly, parents should try to help children maintain their independence. Finally, parents should always believe that their children have the ability to make their own decisions in their lives.
Helping children towards independence will always be our businesses.
