When the child is in high school, why do parents still pick up and drop off every day?This is a problem that many families face. Parents have different views and practices when faced with this problem. For some parents, they think that their children have grown up and should develop their autonomy and no longer need to be picked up. However, there are some parents who insist on taking their children to and from school every day. They believe that there is a certain reason and necessity for doing so. This article will explain why parents still have to pick up and drop off their children every day when they go to high school from the perspective of safety hazards and parent-child relationships.
Traffic congestion and frequent traffic accidents are a common problem in modern society. Especially during the morning and evening rush hours, there is a constant stream of cars on the road, which can pose a certain risk to the children's school and school days. At the same time, as schools move farther and farther away from home, it can take longer for children to cycle to school. And, during the cold season of winter, cycling to and from school can also be physically unwell for children. Therefore, having parents pick up and drop off their children to school can better ensure their safety.
In addition, overly heavy school bags are also one of the hidden dangers of children going to school. Nowadays, the academic burden of students is getting heavier and heavier, and the textbooks and homework books are very heavy, sometimes even more than 10 pounds. Such a burden can have a negative impact on children's spine and physical development. To avoid this problem, parents can reduce the burden on their children and protect their healthy development.
As children enter high school, they gradually demonstrate their ability to think independently and have opinions. However, due to the heavy academic load and the pressure of extracurricular activities, children rarely have time to communicate and communicate with their parents. This can lead to feelings of alienation between parents and children, and even affect their relationship.
However, the time to pick up and drop off children from school can be a precious moment for parents and children. During this time, parents can have a relaxed conversation with their children and find out how they are doing at school, including studies, friends, and school life. Through such communication, parents can keep abreast of their children's needs and problems and give them the necessary support and assistance.
In addition, in the process of picking up and dropping off their children to and from school, parents can also feel the changes in their children's emotions and growth. They can observe children's expressions, words and deeds, understand their psychological state, and find and solve problems in time. Through this close companionship, parents are able to establish a deeper emotional connection with their children, increasing mutual understanding and trust.
To sum up, although some experts and netizens have criticized the behavior of parents picking up and dropping off their children to school, believing that children should develop autonomy and independence, we cannot ignore the importance of safety hazards and parent-child relationships. Parents pick up and drop off their children to and from school to ensure their children's safety, while also providing opportunities to be close and communicative with their children. In modern society, the companionship and love of parents are essential for the development of children. Therefore, we should make flexible pick-up and drop-off arrangements according to the actual situation and the needs of the child to promote the all-round development of the child.
