Children are experiencing increasing educational, social and commercial pressures. What are the causes? What measures do you think can be taken to reduce them?

Compared with their forebears,

although

contemporary children seem to live a rather worry-free material life, they may still feel less happy simply

due to

enormous stress from various aspects.

This

essay will shed light on a multitude of possible reasons behind

this

situation in kids, and detail some of the solutions to be addressed. There is no exaggeration to say that a competitive qualification endorsed by an eminent tertiary institute, contributes to rewarding job opportunities over other applicants in today’s labour market.

For example

, students have to sacrifice their quality time for overwhelming study for extra classes after class on a regular basis

instead

of their authentic hobbies.

Furthermore

, parents’ expectation is attributed to these stresses on kids.

This

is because many spouses are often willing to invest a huge amount of expense in private tutorials for their kids to gain manifest leaps in their children’s academic performance.

As a consequence

,

this

will give rise to tremendous invisible pressure from the family’s unprecedented expectations on the young generation’s shoulders. To reduce the youngster’s stress, in my view, mutual understanding between parents and children might be one of the workable solutions.

For instance

, frequent open communication between two sides can facilitate, through which the children’s psychological barriers and learning weaknesses could be exposed to parents freely.

In addition

, if peer pressures created by parents are eliminated

as well as

encourage offspring to set a more realistic goal based upon their authentic interests and potentials,

this

will prompt true motivation and passion for a joyful learning process. In the nutshell, even though pressure, under appropriate circumstances, can serve as an intangible force urging people to challenge their limits for optimal performance, too much of it is unfavourable for their healthy mental growth. Proper parental guidance, associated with the fundamental change in society's attitude towards the definition of a person's success, can be the ultimate solution to the current worrisome situation.
