It is good to know that your parents will provide you a shoulder to cry on when you meet difficulties. Would it still be welcome if your mother gave up her job in order to be closer to you all the time?
Many parents in China have chosen to do so. They stay home to cook healthy food and help children with their homework,reported 21st Century Business Herald on Nov. 10 and some even rent(租)a small room near their children's school to save them time. Such parents have got the nickname of “helicopter(直升机)parents”,which means they always closely hover around their children.
“This is harmful to their children as they will not be able to learn self-dependence(独立),” said Chicago family expert(专家)Danielle Sines.
However,parents have their own reasons. Most students in China are only children,so parents are willing to do everything to help them stand out among the fierce(激烈的)competition,said China Youth Daily.
This June,Liu Lu began her last year in high school in Hebei. Her mother rented a small room near her school so that she could do the washing and cooking for her. “I'll have to be there for my child as she is making that last push for college. What I do will save her a lot of time so she can better prepare for the national college entrance exam. It's worth it,” her mother told the reporter.
In fact,schools in north-eastern states in the USA,such as Connecticut and New York,have the same trend(趋势). In September,students moved into their dormitories(宿舍)but many had some extra equipment(装备)：their parents.
However, students are still advised to face new challenges standing on their own two feet.
