When I was a child, I used to brag about my parents, for example, I used to say “my mommy and daddy buy everything I want!” As I got older, I wondered what qualities make parents good parents, and I found out that they are devotion to their children and teaching morals.
I believe that good parents dedicate themselves to their children because a child generally needs affection and care in order to grow as a healthy and successful individual. It is not too much to say that every parent wants their “kids” to succeed in their life. It is unlikely that young children achieve their tasks without their parents’ help since they are generally amateur. Excellent parents tend to recognize this immaturity of their children; therefore, they willingly commit their time studying and playing with their offspring..
Well-mannered behavior should be taught to children; therefore, a good parent knows how to effectively instill morality to their children. For example, I recently read an article about a girl, who attended the top university in Korea, verbally and physically assaulted a female janitor. After it became a big issue, people asked her to apologize; however, she and her parents refused to give apology. Currently, she has been expelled from her university and lost her job. Her life is so-called “ruined.” This incidence led numerous people think that her parents did not steer her into the right path; not teaching morality, in particular, my country extremely values respect for others. If her parents agreed or at least forced their daughter to apologize, her situation could have been better.
I strong believe that being a perfect parent is not an easy task. Every parent has a different method of instructing their child. However, I would like to emphasize that parents should teach their children to respect others regardless of status unless they want their children to turn out like the girl who “beat up” a janitor. |
