B
It's late at night. A car stops in the middle of a forest. After dropping off their three teenagers, the parents say "good luck" and drive away. The teenagers, totally lost, have to find their way back home by themselves.
It may sound crazy to you, but this is a tradition with a long history for Dutch parents called "dropping". Dutch people believe that children should not depend too much on their parents and should learn how to solve problems through activities like "dropping".
However, for many other parents around the world, their top worry is their children's safety. After all, why should they put their children at risk when there are many other ways to develop their independence?
People have many different opinions about parenting. All parents want their children to be happy, healthy and successful. In China, for example, many parents spend much money on summer vacation activities for their children. They want their children to enjoy their vacation as much as possible.
But some parents try too hard and become "helicopter(直升机) parents"—just the opposite of "dropping". They worry too much about their children and pay attention to everything they do—like helicopters flying over their children. In their eyes, children need to be protected all the time.
But this might not be a good parenting style either, according to American parenting expert Kenneth Ginsburg. As Ginsburg writes, parents should "make sure their children don't crash(碰撞) against the rocks, yet allow them to ride the waves, even if they get a little choppy(波涛汹涌的) sometimes. "
