It can be a very common problem in China．In big cities in China, most parents only have one child．Some parents care so much about the   4   of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. As a result, their children   5   to learn social skills, and come to depend more on the parents!

     In fact, no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be   6   , knowing that, as a result of too much care, their children don’t know about the world! Children need their own time to develop into adults and to learn   7   to deal with problems. Too much care spoils（破坏） their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can’t   8   their parents, they will be in big trouble!
