Parent's expectations of their children: Is it healthy or not
What is parental pressure? It is relative and can only defined from the kid's point of view. Parent pressure is high expectation(s) (at times unrealistic) parents project on the ward, the drive that parent put on their children to achieve a goal, or their goal.
I read a post once where someone opined that children are investment to parent, something like retirement or pension bonus, something to tide you over till you take your last breath. He said that has made some parents to project their expectations on their children, dictating what to study and who to marry.
Somtimes parental pressure for good marks is so much that they cheat in exams, all to please the parent.
Parental pressure often stem from thinking a child doesn't know what is best for he/she, therefore they try to dictate the future and decision of such child.
But it is okay because like everyone else, they are humans trying their best to make it for you, and them on the whole.
So, cheers to all parents out there. We know it ain't easy, but if you are one of them parent trying their best to do well, we hope it works out the way you want.
