This kind of long clause rarely comes at the beginning of a sentence, but at the end like "It is a positive thing that parents are...". Is the reason to emphsize the clause as it's something the writer wants to put stress on?
p/s BTW, do you call "this long clause" "true subject" and "it" "false subject"?
pp27)Some parents write resumes, attend job fairs, and chat with career counselors for their children. These are extended forms of helicopter parenting, which is a term meaning parents who hover over their children's lives from childhood to university. To want the best for a child is only natural. But according to some experts, helicopter parenting can prevent young people from developing their self-conficence and independence...That parents are actively interested in their children's lives is a positive thing. That today's youth are open to receive advice is also great. Nontheless, experts insist that it is important for parents to be aware of the boundaries that they shouldn't cross.
