It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child's development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays the most significant role. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, it's widely accepted that there are two existing factors that can affect

children’s

upbringing. In

this

essay, I’ll discuss

both

of them, the role that family plays and the environment/entourage

influence

.

According to

the New York psychology institute, family ties and relationship between siblings and parents does have a big

influence

on their behaviour.

According to

their research, immediate family relationship with their child makes up around 78

of the

influence

on a kid’s nature from the age of 2 to 12. As an example, it can seem logical that a little boy at the age of 6 can behave as same as his father; talk in the same manner, adopt some habits or try to act as same as him. That happens all because that little boy sees him as a role model. The toddlers are very vulnerable to everything that happens around them, as they absorb the

information

very quickly.

experience psychological traumas which can lead to phobias in the future.

On the other hand

,

children’s

development could

also

be affected by media, pop culture and friends.

For instance

, a teenager may start to behave rebelliously as they don’t find their parents or elder siblings interesting anymore and try to communicate with their fellows, gain some

information

from TV, radio, internet or even gossip.

This

information

is sometimes taken without filters or censors, so it can be

both

effective and destructive to the child.

According to

Forbes research, at

this

age, they don’t fully understand the consequences of the wrong

information

they are taking since they don’t have enough experience to navigate life. I believe that

both

of the views mentioned above have a place to exist for the possibilities of happening, as

children’s

nature does need to go through all the difficulties to be strengthened.

To conclude

, it is definitely clear that

both

of the above-mentioned factors affect

children’s

behavior but they

influence

them in different ways.
