Some people think that parents have a powerful influence in child’s life, while the influence from outside the home plays a bigger part of child’s development. To what extent do you agree or disagree
In the modern era, the generation gap between the parents and children has increased compared to earlier generations. While some people believe that they still have a powerful impact on children others disagree and think influence outside the house has a bigger role in development. I believe, a balance of both is required for maximum growth.
To begin
with, parents play a huge part in the upbringing of the child, not only they raise them but they Linking Words
also
, teach important social ethics Linking Words
such
as manners and discipline. Linking Words
Moreover
, the relationship between these two has been complicated lately due to increased popularity of social media but an infant always looks up to his parents for guidelines. Linking Words

On the contrary
, nowadays young people tend to spend more time with their friends than family. Linking Words
In addition
, there are both kind of influence, good or bad, which a child can have from his friends. Linking Words
For example

plays a huge part in development. A student will always look up to his teacher to learn new things. Linking Words
Hence
, as much as parents try to teach the right values to their children, the outside environment is, as well as important as the home.
To conclude, I believe, the best growth for the individual will come when he/she chooses the right values and motivation both in-home and outside environment. Linking Words
Likewise
, as a minor, sometimes it is important to discuss everything at home before falling for peer pressure Linking Words
such
as using drugs. Both teachers and parents should come together in helping children for ideal upbringing.Linking Words
