I am one of the people who have a culture of binding their kids around themselves. If I were to be married at this age by now, I am sure I'd have done the same to my child. And the cultural thing is that being a parent, and you dictate their movement.

This kind of leads to the kids going through the fear of failure and ending up in more or less more set of the problems in the life and not enjoying the life they have in their hands. So how would you handle this fear of failure?
