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.
