Children's Stress

Children’s stress
Everyone has problem when they live in the world. Some of them can solve, but some can not. In my country, both of the adults and children have stress. The differences are: the adults have the stress about employment, emotion, economy, relationship and what kind of education they can give to their child. But the children’s stresses are not so many. They only need to worry about what kind of assignment they have to do which is from their parents. They must do so many things when they were young, even though they didn’t know whether they like it.
For example, my little brother Tantan is 16 years old. He is the only child of my aunty. So she wants to give him the best future. She must to have a plan about that. When he was 4 years old, my aunty sent him to study English in all weathers. When he was 5 or 6 years old, he began to study drawing and playing accordion [əˈkɔ:djən]. At the age of 7, he must to go to primary [ˈpraiməri] school and at the same time, he didn’t give up to study English. During those years, I always see that he was so busy. Weekdays, after school he must to go to English class. At the weekend, school has no classes, he had to go to children's palace [ˈpælis] which place teach children all kinds of skills. In all word, he is busier than an adult.
At that age, they didn’t have to under pressure like that. Childhood is the most important time for the child, don’t give them so many assignment to do. It can not help them like studying, they may be tired of study. They need happy, carefree and normal life. Let them playing, give them free time to do what they want to do. That’s the great way for them. Stress is not suitable for the children.
