Abstract

The researcher reports on a grounded theory study of 13 Chinese ages 12-14 high school students, based on the qualitative interviews with them in Xi’an China. The study investigated 1) parent expectations from their child, 2) parenting focus, and 3) the moral quality of gratitude in children in the dimensions of gratification and guilt towards parental sacrifice. The results from this investigation reveal a big loophole in child development in China, which could take a heavy toll on the characterbuilding of a child as a person and the provision of family elder care.

Keywords: Parent expectations, parenting focus, gratitude, housework
