Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Parents are the first and most significant teachers; they introduce this new world to us. But I don’t think parents are the best teachers. I believe that they are gods to us.
If any body asks me question that god first or parents I surely say parents. No doubt those parents are first well wisher of their children. From my point of view all the parents will do some common mistakes those are over caring, making comparison with other children.

Generally parents shares their love, affection and caring to their children. But over caring is not good. For instance if child like to go educational tour from school, parents think that that is not safe. So they won’t give permissions to the child. Because of over caring, they are spoiling child’s self learning system. Parents should give some freedom to their children, and then children can have a wide scope of learning. They are also part of society, tomorrow they should survive on their own legs means they need some self experiences. I know parents won’t restrict their children intentionally.

Another common mistake of the parents is comparing their children to others children.
For example parents always compare their children academic marks to other children marks. According to me every child is unique; every one has some unique talent. Please try to find your child’s talent; this is my sincere request to all parents. Please never ever compare your child to others children, their little hearts can heart.

Sometimes parents apply their interests on children. For example in India today also most demanded courses are engineering and doctor. According to my knowledge maximum parents are think that his son or daughter should be become an engineer or doctor. They don’t recognize their children interest. For the sake of parents many students are studying those courses. Generations are changed but parent’s way of thinking is not changed. Most of the students are committed suicides because they think that they are not fulfilling their parent’s hopes.

Parents are important teachers in our lives, but they are not always the best teachers.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Parents are OUR first and most significant teachers; they introduce this new world to us. But I don’t think parents are the best teachers. I believe that they are gods to us.
If (anybody) asks me A question (that god first or parents????????) I WOULD surely say MY parents.
No doubt THAT parents are THE first well wisherS of their children. From my point of view all the parents will MAKE some common mistakes, SUCH AS over-caring AND making comparisonS with other children.
Generally parents share their love, affection and caring WITH their children. But over- caring is not good. For instance, if A child WANTS to go ON AN educational tour from school, parents think that that is not safe. So they WILL NOT give permission to the child. Because of over-caring, they are spoiling child’s self-learning system. Parents should give some freedom to their children, and then children can have a wideR scope of learning.

THE CHILDREN are also part of society. Tomorrow they SHALL HAVE TO survive on their own TWO FEET WHICH means they need TO GAIN some self-experiences. I know parents DO NOT restrict their children intentionally. THEY ONLY CARE TOO MUCH.
Another common mistake of the parents is IN comparing their children to others children.
For example parents always compare their childrenS academic marks to other childrenS marks.
According to me every child is unique; (everyone) has some unique talent. Please try to find your child’s talent; this is my sincere request to all parents. Please never ever compare your child to others children, their little hearts can BE HURT.

Sometimes parents apply their interests on children. For example in India today THE most SOUGHT-AFTER courses are AS engineerS and doctorS. According to my EXPERIENCE, MOST parents are HOPING that THEIR son or daughter MIGHT become an engineer or doctor. They don’t recognize their childrenS interest.
For the sake of THE parents many students are studying those courses.

Generations HAVE changed but THE parent’s way of thinking HAS not changed.
SOME students HAVE committed suicide because they THOUGHT that they WERE not fulfilling their parent’s hopes.
Parents are important teachers in our lives, but they are not always the best teachers.
