People say that a child’s success is dependent on the way parents bring them up. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

#people #child’s #success #parents
Parents are the biggest
influence
 on their children during their formative years and for
this
 reason some people argue that the upbringing that a child receives determines their success in the future. I fully agree with
this
 view. A child is like a piece of clay. It can be
molded
shaped to fit by or as if by altering the contours of a pliable mass (as by work or effort)
moulded
 into whatever shape. If parents inculcate good values in their children, it is nearly impossible for them to go astray when they grow up.
Likewise
, if parents encourage them to work hard and dream big, they will most probably achieve great things in
future
Suggestion
the future
. If we study the lives of highly successful people, it is not hard to see that they all had been highly influenced by their parents or a parent figure.
For example
, parents were a great
influence
 on Mohandas Gandhi. Nehru had a tremendous
influence
 on his daughter Indira. In his autobiography APJ Abdul Kalam
also
 narrated how the simple and hardworking nature of his parents had shaped his personality.
By contrast
, children raised by parents who have no moral values often get into antisocial activities as they grow up. That explains why children coming from a criminal background almost always end up being criminals. They had no one to show them the right path during their childhood and
consequently
 they chose the path of their parents. Children neglected or abused by their parents are
also
 more likely to get into crime. Every child needs love and care. They need someone to hold their hand and motivate them. They need someone to show them what is right and wrong.
Otherwise
, they will wilt before they can bloom. On balance, it is not hard to see that parents play a crucial role in shaping up the future and personality of their children. They are the
first
 and foremost
influence
 on their children and as
such
 it is their responsibility to ensure that they are guiding them in the right path.
