Your opinion
About excessive use of the cellphone
I feel distracted when I have my cellphone with me. And it damages my relationship with parents because we quarrel a lot over it.
I believe every generation has their own issues and challenges to face. It’s unimaginable that our generation should know nothing about the new technology like the Internet and smart phones. So maybe we just need to learn to strike a balance and set the boundaries.
About helicopter parents
I am grateful that my helicopter parents have enriched my life with all the colorful extra-curricular activities and experiences, through which I get to explore my interest and passion.
I think many Chinese parents are typical helicopter parents. They think that what they do are good for their children, but in fact it is bad in the long run.
Helicopter parents are very selfless and devoted indeed. But they need to learn to let go because it is only through trial and error that we learn to grow up and be independent.
Talking Teens:
a column in the magazine that provides advice for parents.
Dear Talking Teens,
My daughter has just started senior high school. As she enters adolescence, she grows more and more distant from us and spends a lot of time on her cellphone. I am concerned if she is addicted to the online-games. On weekends, she is busy checking phone messages and taking selfies, which I suppose will definitely distract her from study. Whenever I complain about it, our talk will end up in quarrel or cold war. Am I being paranoid about the cell-phone addiction What should I do Please help!
Yours truly,
Concerned Mum
Dear Talking Teens,
My son is 16, presently studying in a key high school. Brought up as the only child, he is surrounded with love. As the competition is very fierce nowadays, we always tell him that study is his top priority and that there is no need to bother about the chores at home. Ever since he was a child, I have meticulously arranged everything for him—extra homework, extra-curricular activities, yearly trips, etc. We grant almost all of his wishes and demands, as long as they are affordable. However, recently I read an article about “helicopter parents”, saying such a parenting style will spoil and ruin the child. I have to admit that my boy is not mature compared to me when I was his age. So I am wondering if I am wrong. Looking forward to your advice.
Yours truly,
Confused Mum
