     Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies all the time!It can be a very common problem in China,because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent on them!
