An intriguing topic of discussion at hand whether it is better for parents to have stern rules for children’s success. Although some people may hold different ideas and opinions regarding this matter, I personally oppose the idea that parents must impose strict rules on their children on account of two following reasons.
To begin with, having a comfortable atmosphere at home without imposing rules enables children to be more relaxed while a home with strict rules can cause stress to children. It is legitimate to argue that the role of liberal upbrinings is expressly critical to children in the current society and that is largely based on the fact that the complexity and competitiveness of the modern educational system cause children to suffer from a great deal of stress and pressure. If they grow up in a comfortable environment where they can relax, they can relieve their stress from their school work. On the other hand, if children grow up in a home with stern rules, they are under a lot of stress because they cannot relax. This can be demonstrated example of my friend. When she was in elementary school, her teacher had very strict shcool’s rules. She had to be quiet during break time and do a lot of homework. She suffered from stress. Her parents also have stern rules at home. When she came back home, if she did not what she should have done on the day such as doing homework, she did not do what she wanted to do freely such as playing computer games and watching television. In other words, she did not have any time or space to relax. Therefore, she could not relieve her stress and too much stress from the childhood made my friend grow into an anxious adult. Now, not only does she get stressed about trivial things, but aldo she cannot handle a great of matter because she does not know how to relieve stress. As this example of my friend indicates, having stern rules at home is not good for children’s success.
In addition, liberal upbringings enable children to foster their decision-making skills. It is generally accepted that the role of decision-making skills is greatly significant lately and that is mainly due to the fact that modern society is self-centered and people feel compelled to decide their important matters themselves. Children can enhance their decision-making skills by having a chance to make decisions for themselves. However, having no choice but following arranged rules at home does not give children an opportunity to judge situations by themselves and find the best option. The example of mine can illustrate this idea. When I was young, I grew at home which have a comfortable upbringings. I could make a decision myself what I should do the day because my parents have me think which one is better decision. Not only that, but also I had to take responsibility for my decision. Therefore, I can make better decisions myself. This example shows the importance of having a comfortable atmosphere at home in the modern society in that children can foster their decision-making skills.
In conclusion, although whether it is better for children to have a comfortable atmosphere at home for their success is open to interpertation, it seems reasonable to claim that abovementioned statement is vaild because of the two reasons discussed in this essay.
