A lot of controversy exists over whether parents still mostly affect their children or not. Although some people may argue that children's surrounding have more influence their lives than parents, I strongly believe that parents' impact are still important. There are several reasons for this opinion, and I would like to describe two of the most significant one. First, parents spend lots of time with their children. Moreover, parents deeply know anout their children.
Most importantly, parents spend most of their time with their children. Especially, it is the parents that spend much more time when children make their own identity. Therefore, one of the goals of parents is to make their children act correctly and say formally. If parents do not act properly, their children will be affected by other environments such as television and films. For example, I was a really good students until I was a middle school student because of my parents continuous taught. People believed that I must be a good scientist or good doctor. However, after we moved to big city, my parents were really busy to run their business. Then, they could not control me as they had do when we lived in the country. I spent most of my time playing video games and watching television instead of studying. In the end, I am a normal university student now.
Moreover, parents know their children's characters and behaviors well. This is due to the fact that parents have nurtured their children after their birth. Thus, there is no better option to correct their children behavior well than their parents. For instance, one of my old friend was a good students and athlete, but he became a high school student, he began to get into troubles. This was because that he wanted to look "be cool" and won more recognition from their friends. It was difficult for teacher to correct him, but it was easy to their parents.
In conclusion, I consider parents still greatly influence their children, since the amount time they spend with their children and parents know well about their children's characteristics and behaviors. Regardless of what others say, it become important for parents to ensure that children should experience good things that will have a good impact their future lives.
