答案 There are many things to consider in terms of our children’s development. Different people will have different ideas about how to raise children. Some people I know like to let their children make their own decisions. Others make most of their children’s decisions for them. Personally, I think it is better for parents to make the important decisions because parents have more life experience, and thus can help the children make better choices, and in doing so prevent their children from hurting others. First, I think it is best for parents to make decisions because they have more life experience. When children make decisions, they can only draw on five to fifteen years of life experience. Parents have at least double that amount of life experience and they better understand how the world works. For example, a child might want to take a fun, modern dance class with his or her friends and yet parents understand that a computer class is more important for the child’s future. Parents can use their life experience to help their children choose activities that will benefit them in the future. Not only are parents able to view things from a long-term perspective when making decisions, they can also help their children make hard decisions that they do not have the self-control to make themselves. For example, a child may want to quit his or her extra math class and yet parents know this will affect any future study. Without the parents’ help, he or she may not have enough self-control to keep going. Children need their parents’ help in order to make hard decisions that don’t feel good right now, but will help them later. Finally, parents can protect their children from hurting others. For example, a child may not want to invite an unpopular student in the class to his or her birthday party, and yet parents understand how important it is not to hurt other people’s feelings. Parents can draw upon their years of experience to provide the guidance necessary to help their children make kind decisions that don’t hurt others. While many people like to let their children make all their own decisions, I believe that it is better for parents to make important and hard decisions for their children.
解析     虽然有人认为对孩子放手有利于培养孩子的独立能力，但是孩子毕竟还小，对很多事情缺乏判断能力。我们从小到大可能都听父母说过一句话“我们吃过的盐比你吃过的饭都多”，这句话话糙理不糙。父母毕竟比我们阅历广，经验多，他们对于很多重要问题，例如学校选择、伴侣选择或者职业选择上可以帮孩子做出最正确的决定，因为往往一个错误的决定会耽误孩子的一生。
