Psychological trauma: Long-term deficit education may lead to psychological trauma in children, such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc.
Difficult to be independent: Children may choose to rely on their parents for fear of not being able to meet their parents' expectations when they become independent, which can lead to their inability to develop their own ability to live independently.
