While the factors driving the modern family are many and complex－from the explosion of technology to the influx(涌入) of mothers into the workforce－parental fear may be at the heart of today's rushed(匆忙的) approach to child－rearing(養育孩子), some experts say.
Parents fear everything from media exposure to violence to peer pressure, says Alan Mirabelli, executive director of Ottawa think tank. Perhaps most of all, there's the fear that their kids won't be equipped to compete in the future.
Some might argue that today's parents are micromanagers because, unlike those who raised families during the Depression and World War Ⅱ， they don't have enough real worries. But Mirabelli says it comes down to a different context and a different set of challenges.
He notes that while parents 25 or 30 years ago had the modest goals of providing their offspring with more than they had, the current driving force is the desperation to equip kids for a dog－eat－dog world.
They demand tougher schools, a heftier(容量更大的) curriculum and standardized testing to measure performance. Outside the school system, they fill in the gaps with tutoring, music lessons, art classes, gymnastics and hockey. For those who can't afford it,_there's the additional stress and fear that their kids don't stand a chance.
David Elkind, a renowned child psychologist and author of The Hurried Child, says hyper－parenting is a reaction to a world changing so fast and we have no idea how to prepare kids for it. Parents can't envision the society their kids will inhabit as adults, so they try to cover all the possibilities, cramming in as much as possible and operating on the principle that earlier is better. “This works against the notion of let children be children，”said David Elkind.
