作业不会做，有爸爸帮忙解决；手工不会做，有妈妈来完成；哪门功课稍有落后，家教立马就请过来了。他们的要求只有一点：孩子，你要成功。这样的父母被称为“扫雪机父母”。他们会帮助孩子扫清前进道路上的所有障碍。 Most of us are familiar with the concept of the 'helicopter parent' who hovers anxiously over their child's every move.

They let nothing stand in the way of their children’s success, even though they may be robbing them of the opportunity to build resilience. Children are becoming 'terrified of failure' and being turned into 'achievement machines' by their parents. |
