Answer 1

Dear uncle and aunt,

       Xiaoming complained to me about you , because he’s much pressure, that is caused by the activities all planned by you. Maybe you are always comparing Xiaoming with other children. When you see other children taking part in a lot of activities, you think Xiaoming should do the same. As a result you send Xiaoming to all kinds of classes. It’s crazy, for you have pushed him too hard. He can’t stand it.

You’re trying to plan Xiaoming’s lives for him. When he’s an adult, he might find it difficult to plan things for himself. You should learn to give him more time. He needs time to do things by himself, and he also needs times and freedom to relax
