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?

In

this

day and age, the competition in the job market is extremely high, and it is only natural for

parents

to want to see their

children

live good and comfortable lives. A major part of achieving

such

a dream is being able to secure a well-paying job.

However

, in doing so,

children

are forced to soak in a lot of

pressure

from an early age from both

parents

and schools which can have negative effects on them. The positive aspect of the

parents

providing the

pressure

is that the

children

can be more focused and concentrate on their studies. The fact that their career options are provided by their

parents

, helps them to understand what is required of them, and

accordingly

, they will fall in the pattern required.

For example

, in Trivandrum, many

children

in schools have their career paths decided for them by their

parents

. Their choices are either engineering or becoming a doctor. The main reason for

this

is because these are the fields that are the most likely to help land them a well-paying job. The negative of

this

type of

pressure

is that the

children

will not be able to make their decisions. There is

also

a possibility that by the time the

children

reach college they will burn out at a young age because the constant

pressure

will at one point make them snap. They will

also

feel disconnected from their

parents

because as their

parents

made all the selections for them, the

children

will feel that if they fail or cannot make it, their

parents

will be disappointed. In conclusion,

this

pressure

provided by the

parents

will have more negative developments on the

children

, because the child will not be able to experience life. They will not be able to search out what interests them.
