Most recently, it's very common in studentsthat they need a parent present for job interviews．     

Naturally,it's easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem isus．We—as parents—are so eager to shelter our kidsthat we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them．As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantlythat the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop theskills needed to live without me．So, I'll let them fail．

   I'll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside theircomfort zones, they will never grow．Although failure comes along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment,etc, these will be part of growth for them．And leavingthem alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as weknow it today．From terrorism and seemingly endlessnatural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the nextgeneration to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stopfeeding them and start teaching them how to fish．

   My children now are becoming little masters of compromise(妥协），but they try to negotiate （协商） everything now．It's a small price to helpthem learn a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives, including when Idon't accompany them on job interviews．
