During this period is a variety of worries, a variety of comparisons, a variety of choices, a variety of entanglement, a variety of all efforts, a variety of efforts, a variety of full of hope, a variety of discouragement, a variety of know today, a variety of regret, often children are old, they are old, and then a variety of expectations for children to return to their parents, filial piety parents.
So exhausted for decades, how can not tired?
The root cause of such tiredness lies in the high expectations that moms and dads have for their children, both for their own development and for their children to repay their parents.
With such high expectations, the pressure is on not only the parents, but also the children. But why should we expect so much from our child? Isn’t it good enough for him to become an independent, autonomous and happy adult?
If mothers and fathers can look past this point, put aside all expectations of their children’s external success and fame, and care for their children’s and parents’ own inner peace and satisfaction, their parenting life will be much easier.
