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

Most

parents

today make their

children

work immensely hard and put a huge amount of strain on them for achieving a successful career. I believe the growing competition in enrolling

kids

in reputed colleges is the primary reason behind

this

, and

this

is a negative development because it hampers the overall growth of adolescence. Many colleges and universities these days require applicants to be excellent in academics and other interpersonal skills. They no longer are only satisfied with good marks in schools and

this

makes

parents

impose high pressure on

children

to make them outperform their fellow peers in every department in order to secure a desirable slot in colleges.

As a result

,

kids

are made to learn in schools, followed by revisions at home and are compelled to play some sports as well.

For example

, many

children

in India have policies by their

parents

to not go to sleep till they do not secure

first

place in the sport they are playing.

This

phenomenon certainly has ramifications especially in the growth of the

children

. Not all

kids

have the stamina and sustainability to go through the tough routine as scheduled by their guardians and

this

leads several youngsters to become victims of hypertension and depression.

For example

, most cases of mental illnesses in Asia are seen in

children

as they constantly perform tortured routines during their school days.

Thus

, rather than making them work for all long days, it is important to make them focus only on learnings they wish to possess. In conclusion, there should be a limit for stretching a child’s ability as taking it too far can cause serious mental issues and

parents

should allow their

kids

to learn subjects of their choice to make learning an enjoyable experience for them.
