when they are young, they learn by observation and imitation. This
can be both positive and negative. By observing their parents and
relative’s actions, they can learn a lot of new things, a lot of good
behaviors. However, not all adult activities are good to observe. There
are also some very bad one such as violence, drinking, and smoking.
Children can learn these harmful behaviors if their parents exhibit
such actions. Children, therefore learn what they live. If their parents
are selfish, they will be selfish. If the parents are generous, their
children will be generous too.
The final aspect is longevity of relationship. Since acts as teachers
for 18 or more years before the child leave home and live
independently, they have a much stronger impact than a school
teacher whom students may know for as little as one year. Indeed,
even after graduating from university, children still need the advices of
their parents to struggle for life.
Even thought there are number of sources that contribute to
children’s education, the lessons and examples from their parents are
still the best, the most resistant one. Parents have not only
educational impacts but also ethical impact on infants. For these
reasons, I think that parents are the ever best, most important teacher
in a person’s life.
