Nowadays parents put too much pressure on their children to succeed. What is the reason for doing this? Is this a negative or positive development?

These

days so

Accept comma addition

days, so

much weights are placed on kids to become successful by their Parents and

this

can sometimes have both bad or perhaps, good outcomes. Either way it goes, the end shows in the means. One of the reasons Parents place so much weight is the prestige they get when their kids become successful. They want to be able to brag and be proud when they speak among their fellow parents. Perhaps, showing off gives them the cloud nine they so much crave for.

Consequently

,

this

brings a positive outlook in the sense that the

child

is happy in making his/her parent proud.

This

in turn brings about a taste for more success in the mind of the

child

. And by so doing, with proper guidance, kids may end becoming successful adults in the long term.

However

, the

child

will end up striving to impress, so much so, that

this

may break the confidence of the

child

if he/she fails to deliver.

This

, I believe, is the negative angle to

this

which may shred whatever confidence the

child

had

initially

.

This

can be very dangerous and may be a tunnel of no return. In conclusion, I believe too much weight to succeed should not be placed on kids as

this

may lead to far reaching bad impact on the kids self confidence in the long run.
