Parents' Expectations for children


Unlike the Australian children, the children who grow up in china are expected to have a lot of tutoring when they start the primary school. Take my own experience for instance, I have had four tutoring class when I was a primary school student, such as piano, drawing, basketball as well as the saxophone lessons. However, I was only interested in playing basketball at that stage, and I had no choice to pick up my hobbies, since my parents asked me to follow what other my classmates did.


On the other hand, I found that the children who grow up in Australia can do whatever they want to and they do not have lots of tutoring, so they usually have plenty of spare time to play with the peers.

From my perspectives, I think that the parents’ expectation for their children play a vital role in childhood of their kids, as Chinese parents believe that tutoring is an effective and efficient way to improve the skills and knowledge of their children.
