However, educating children can also be a source of frustration. Many parents pour their hearts into it, yet their children never seem to meet their expectations. Some children become more reluctant to study as they grow older. Some parents sacrifice their own comfort to meet their children's every need, yet the children remain ungrateful, even resentful toward their parents. Some parents' earnest advice is dismissed by their children, while others are looked down upon by their own kids. They ask: What’s wrong with today’s children? They think: Back when I was young, things weren’t like this.
Many children also feel frustrated. Why do they have so much homework? No matter how hard they try, they can’t make their parents happy. Why can’t their good ideas be understood? In the new century, will these conflicts become even sharper? In the new century, shouldn’t these conflicts be resolved more reasonably? Comrade Lu Qin’s book, A Letter to Century Parents, is an effort to address such conflicts.
