Some people don't think parents can be the best teachers. However, in my opinion, parents can have good impacts on children like teachers for two reason: they can provide them with practical assistance and life lessons.
First of all, children can get useful assistance from their parents. This is because parents are more mature and tend to have a comprehensive understanding of life. Also, they have their own know-how in their job or lives which can guide their children in positive ways. For example, when I started working at a motor company, I had problem adapting to the company. Since I was lack of experiences and skills, I was clumsy to get my given job done quickly and perfectly. I was about to quit this job and try to find another one. After much thought, however, I decided to talk to my father who has worked at a motor company for 20 years. After listening my problem, he gave me several important skills such as how to safely manage machinery in the lab, and how to make effective presentation. Thanks to his advices, I could adapt to my work place easily. In this regard, parents can be the best guidance.
On top of that, parents can also give valuable life lessons. To be specific, they have already experienced challenges in their own lives, and overcome them in a good direction. Therefore, they can help their children to resolve problems in their life. For instance, after my sister failed a test for several times, she was extremely depressed and disappointed. She didn't want to try to study again, and was about to look for another job. After watching her for a while, my parents encouraged her to stick with her goal, telling the story of how they overcame their challenges. Because of their life lessons, she decided to study hard again, and rise to her hardship. Finally, she passed the exam last year. My sister's case implies that parents can play an important role in teaching children.
To sum up, parents can guide their children through practical help and life lessons. In this regard, parents are the best guidance. |
