在中国，父母总是竭力帮助孩子，甚至为孩子做重要决定，而不管孩子想要什么，因为他们相信这样做是为孩子好。结果，孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿。
如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班，以增加其被重点学校录取的机会，他们会坚持自己的决定，即使孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国，父母可能会尊重孩子的意见，并在决策时更注重他们的意见。中国父母十分重视教育或许值得称赞。然而，他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与间的关系。
In China, the parentsendeavour to help their children and even make important decisions for themregardless of the children’s actual needs, because they believe what they do isgood to their children. As a result, the growth and education of the childrenmore often than not yields to the will of their parents.
If the parents decideto register for an extra-curricular class in order to increase the chance ofbeing admitted to a key school, they will hold their decision firmly even iftheir children are not interested at all. However, in America, the parents mayrespect their children’s opinions and pay more attention to their ideas whenmaking decisions. It may be praiseworthy of the Chinese parents to attach greatimportance to education, but they should learn from the American parents how tobalance the relationship between they and their offspring when it is come toeducation. （文都教育）
