It is a truely controversial topic whether parents have less impact on their children than other influeces from outside do or not. When children do something wrong, some people used to say that they got undesirable education from parents while other say that harmful effect of the media is main problem. I believe that parents have more influeces on their children than anyother outer factors do for the following reasons; Metal relationship with children and parent's huge impact on children's personality development.
To begin with, parents share very close mental relationship with children. Scientists proved that the mental relationship with parents, especially with mother, is formed genetically and extreamly strong enough to greatly influences both whole life of parents and children. This mental reationship determind how children accept outer influences and the way they behave. This fact fully explain why the children react differently to the same situation. In other words, childred do not respond same to given stimulies from the influeces from outside. For example, after seen same a violent movie together,children express various recations. Surprisingly, the recations highly depend on what they feel through relationship with their parents. While children who feel the ralationship with the their parents is stable just was surprised about violent scean, many of the children who do not feel stability with their parents showed negative behavior in their home or in the extream cases, immitated the violent behavior in the movie.
Not only parents have mental relationship with children, but also they affect significantly childrens development. Children spend most of their time with their parents. It is a known fact that showing much affection or palying with parents in their early years are critical for children's development. According to the study of the human behavior, commonly a tweny four-month-old baby completes their full personality development. Regardless they want or do not want, parents have moral authority on their children. When children are young, they do not acknowledge what is right and wrong due to lack of experiences. Therefore, parents teaches them how to distinguish them showing model behavior or giving a compliment or punishment. However, the media, the most common form of outer influeces, just show a tons of stimulies for children in front of TV. Digesting these stimulies in good way or bad way is up to children's own way of thinking which has been formed by their parents. |
