Recently, there is a hot video on the famous video-sharing website, Youtube. It is about a kid who was spoiled, was marking a tantrum in front of his parents in front of a restaurant. I was there and saw the incident happened.

The child and his parents were standing in front of the door of a restaurant. The child yelled and shouted loudly, he was asking for his parents to tie his shoelaces.

Therefore, parents need to be less worried about their kids and let them to look after themselves. Otherwise, children cannot learn any living skills through failure.

In addition, parents can send their children
