Some people think the role of parents is to discipline their children and teach them about right and wrong. Other people consider that the main responsibility of parents is to nurture their children and provide them a Safe environment to grow up in. Discuss both sides and give your opinion?
Some people believe that it is the responsibility of parents to teach the
right
values to their children, while others think that the main duty of parents is to provide children with a safe environment
to grow up in. While teaching children the right
values can teach them good behaviour
, I believe that parenting children in a safe environment
will help children to avoid negative behaviour
.
One the one hand, if children are taught the right
discipline and values they tend to learn social behaviour
. This
is to say that children do not possess adequate knowledge about right
and wrong behaviour
and when kids are taught from a young age, they are more likely to behave well in their teenage. For example
, a recent survey conducted by the American Bullying Association revealed that the kids who were taught moral values at home did not bully other kids in school. However
, I believe that children’s age should also
be taken into consideration while teaching them good behaviour
.
On the other hand
, parenting and providing children with a safe environment
at home can avoid children from developing negative behaviour
. In other words
, when parents do not provide them with a friendly environment
they are more likely to develop anxiety and depression and this
will cause them to develop aggressive and violent behaviour
later on in life. For instance
, a research study by The Guardian showed that 23% of the children in America developed some kind of violent and aggressive behaviour
as they were brought up by divorced parents. I, therefore
, believe that it is very important that children should have a good environment
and proper parenting in their childhood.
To conclude, although
teaching discipline and right
values can teach them social behaviour
, I believe affectionate parenting and a friendly environment
are more important as it will help children to avoid negative behaviour
in life.Submitted by eshwar10882 on
