Parents today are wealthier than their parents and they want their children to have more than what they had. Yet parents often to give their children what they had when they were young. For example, today’s generations of children mostly have their own private with a television, their own cell phone, their own computer, and finally when they areenough they will even have their own cars.all of these things, children do not these gifts as much as previous generations did., children are often ___ just spoiled(被宠坏的) , and all these things give them enjoyment when they really need some to their own development. Finally, childrenthese short-term activities in order to fight against their boredom, and as a result of this, kids shorter periods of attention with little. The obvious question that you may be asking is probably that: patience is a virtue, then why don’t parents it? In today’s society, it is far easier to make children lose concentration than to teach personal development and that’s a common problem. For example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the television for their children than to their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. This strongto know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value theof hard work and patience. Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same lessons that they have painfully learned too. The point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.
