Well, its because they want you to move forward in life. They want you to be in a good position. Too much pressure may affect the child negatively, which all parents are aware of. But its difficult for them to determine when it exceeds this limit. If its too much for you, let your parents know it. What most parents want is their child to become someone important in life. To make this happen, parents may pressure you a bit.

Your parents put pressure on you because they believe that you can achieve the goals that you are working to achieve.

Parents often place a lot of pressure on their children as they love their children and want to see them succeed in life and anything they do.

Parents are always wishing the best to their kids , some times parents are not well trained on how to deal with their kids or how to deliver the message specially if there are big age difference. Yet be sure that all what they do is mostly out of love & care .. they always want you better person and so they are trying to help you to be .

As a parent, I wanted to speak to this. There's that age-old thought that a person's parents want their children to succeed past their own capabilities. This is true. But this isn't the reason. I pressure my child because I know what she is capable of. I've watched her process information and overcome obstacles since her birth. I know when she is being lazy or when she is lying. I know how her brain works, and the ways in which she fails to commit. I understand that she lacks conviction in the areas in which she finds boring. Parents push to assist their children to find their limits. At some point, you will have to fight yourself to become the best version of you possible. Your parents are the ones helping you do that right now. They know the ways in which you are amazing and want the best, happiest life for you. They push you because they love you.

When family members love and care for you, they always want their child to do their best. Raising a child is hard work, and it's even harder to make sure that your child succeeds and is happy in life. Therefore, what we might think is pressure is actually a strong desire for your child to succeed. Speak to your parents about this pressure, let them know how you're feeling and what you'd like to change. Let them know the positives about yourself and how you are on track.

Your parents are putting a lot of pressure on you, because they want you to not only succeed, but do good in life. Your parents don't want to see you suffer. Your parents love you regardless, but the reason they push you to your limits is because they want you to be eased in your life. Trust me, they are doing this for the best. Even I didn't understand, and it still happens. You will understand when your a parent yourself. Just know that they don't want you to be pushed around in life, but for you to be happy.

I think most parents just want their child to succeed. My father puts pressure on me because he knows I can do good, and I think your parents want you to do the same.
