Some people think parents should read or tell stories to children. Others think parents needn’t do that as children can read books or watch TV, movies by themselves. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Parents

are the most important factor in the upbringing of a child. Some advocates believe that

stories

should be read or told to

children

by their

parents

, while others are of the opinion that it is not necessary as

children

can watch

tv

or movies or read books by themselves. In

this

essay, I will discuss both viewpoints and share my personal opinion in

this

regard. On the one hand, people say that reading or telling a book story can help

children

to understand values.

This

is because when

parents

read out these

stories

, they try to relate them with the practical aspect of society and teach a child how to behave by understanding the moral of the chapter.

For instance

, it is widely known that the story of rabbit and turtle, which is based on the laziness of rabbit, is a very good example to relate with a personal life that if we become lazy we can lose our success.

Furthermore

, if

children

are not given attention, they tend to play video games or watch

TV

for hours and hours;

as a result

,

this

may cause damage to the eyes and may

also

lead to a headache.

Thus

, few advocates support

this

notion.

On the other hand

, the detractors do not agree with the aforementioned standpoint, because they think that adolescent should become independent by doing things themselves. The reason for

this

is if

parents

spoon-feed them all the time,

then

they will never do their things on their own

such

as reading a book or watching a movie.

In other words

,

this

can give them a sense of independence and can generate inner confidence.

For example

, when a child will read different books of different genres, they grasp the good thing about the story and try to copy the same in their life. Not only

this

can develop confidence but

also

they can learn different skills

such

as dancing, singing and craft, by watching art shows on

TV

.

Hence

, it becomes apparent that performing things by themselves may help adolescent. In conclusion, some guardians may find the idea of reading or telling

stories

to their offspring a good way of raising

children

but others might feel that

this

could restrict the confidence level which can be built

otherwise

if they read a book or watch

TV

by themselves. I believe that guardians should tell

stories

to their youngsters so that they are always guided by the right personnel.
