parent's expectations of their children

Was watching a show called the academy 学警雄心.. Got one part of the show where one of the police cadets who wanted to excel in his studies and become the best policeman so that his father will be proud of him. He forced himself to study so hard that he was too stressed up and cannot continue his training anymore.. But his father told the doctor that he didn't give his son any stress.. and in the end, it turned out that this police cadet didn't want to disappoint his father, so he forced himself to become a police cadet as both his father and brother is a high-ranking policeman. When I saw this scene, it sort of remained me of two of my friends who got so stressed that they cannot continue their studies.. One had to give up his studies and go to work.. the other had to retain one more year in JC.. And both their parents said the same thing: I didn't give my children any stress.. it really probed me into thinking that parents should have spend more time understand their children emotional needs and not only their physical needs.. Sometimes things aren't that simple as we seem
