Some parents think that children should be the best at everything they do, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Parental roles are considered to be the prime factors for

children

's development.

Although

some

parents

claim that their offspring should be capable of doing everything perfectly, others totally disagree with

this

opinion which will be discussed in

this

essay. On the one hand, some

parents

feel that excellent performance in doing everything

such

as studying or acquiring certain

skills

is essential for

children

to survive in today's competitive world.

In addition

, in today's market labour it is quite challenging to find white-collar jobs as they require candidates to have a great many

skills

and a high level of academic performance. Working as a teacher,

for instance

, requires a range of

skills

such

as interpersonal, active listening, interacting and motivating

skills

but

also

a high level of knowledge of certain kind of subject which he or she teaches and computer

skills

.

Thus

, these

parents

believe that the more

skills

children

obtain, the more successful they will be in future.

On the other hand

, the opponents of

this

concept, claim that

children

should have freedom in choosing what to learn. Perhaps, the reason behind

this

might be that if

children

have the ability, talent and enthusiasm for certain kinds of

skills

or even professions, it is more realistic and quicker to achieve successfully. Another reason for their belief is that

children

are more likely to lose their self-esteem and confidence if they could not manage to learn some

skills

or subjects which are beyond their interest.

This

can be seen in many prominent celebrities who actually graduated in other fields

such

as Law or Science but they were able to pursue their careers in acting or music spheres.

Hence

, the more dedication and devotion

children

have, the more quickly they learn new

skills

and subjects. In conclusion, having considered all, I totally agree with

parents

who support and give freedom to their

children

to choose which

skills

or subjects they learn,

instead

of forcing them to learn things which are beyond their ability and understanding.
