Why do young adult children become independent so much later than they did in 1970，when the average age of independent living was 21? Why have reduced class sizes and increased per-pupil expenditures (花销）not 36 higher academic achievement levels? Why is the mental health of today’s kids so poor when 37 with that of children in the 1960s and before?

Parents who get involved in their kids, 53 with peers grow kids who don’t know how to avoid much less trouble.

These kids have anxieties and fears of all sorts and don’t want to leave their 54 . And their parents, when the time comes, don’t know how to 55 being parents. You can imagine what will become of their future.
