介绍:
问题：What are the drawbacks if children are looked after by their grandparents?
I think the biggest drawback is that grandparents usually have a tendency of spoiling the children, and this tendency is especially evident in China. I think the root cause for this phenomenon is that the people from the older generation have lived such an impoverished life that they don’t want their grandchildren to suffer the same fate anymore, so they try to give their grandchildren everything they can afford. Obviously, the result of this is that the children would be more and more self-centered, and they would rarely consider the needs or feelings of other people. Sadly enough though, parents in China these days are just so busy with their work that they don’t have any time at all to take care of their children by themselves, so they have no choice but to toss their children into the care of the grandparents.
