Need For Parents Involvement in a Child's Upbringing

[aysha9853]

I think the problem today is time and priorities. Many parents are working a lot and assume school will handle everything else. But upbringing is not something you outsource. Kids need guidance especially when making decisions that affect their future. Parents are the only ones who truly care about long term consequences.

The need for parents involvement in the upbringing of children cannot be over emphasized

From my own perspective it is important every child grows with a father and mother figure in his/her life. Yes, it is true biological parents cannot be replaced but nature happens. Mothers are known for their care and tenderness while fathers are protective and inculcate discipline, these features are very crucial for the growth and development of a kid from from childhood to teen era. It helps them nurture values as they mix up with fellow children from the neighborhood, park, school and it's environment

In society today we can all see how disastrous the absence of parental care and guidance is. I honestly wish we can learn from some of the topics we discuss here so we can implement and do better or learn to remember and implement when the time comes.

Most parents are not that careful to give their children attention, so they cannot relate well with their children. This is because they believe that children will learn everything they need to improve their lives in school, but they forget that it is not everything children can learn in school. Some children grow up to be bad people, different from their parents, not because of anything else but because they do not get enough attention from their parents. If children are keeping bad friends, it is the parents who are supposed to know this, and it can also be known from the child’s character. However, because some parents do not have time for their children, they will not know what the children are passing through.

Unfortunate that parents hope so much on the upbringing of someone else to be more superior and effective than their own teachings and training. Children learn faster at home than in school, parents give the best training to kids, when the home is not in order, school pupil will display strang behaviors. Bullies are most likely to be from a divorced home, of parents of crisis, arguments and fights. Had the parents of the child be there for him or her, he'd learn to care for other kids in school.

As parents, we cant afford to fail in the child's upbringing responsibilities which we are saddled with, we should not incur them only to their teachers or the community to place value on them, instead, we have to do our own part and get along with them right from home with our own teaching, as this will contribute and also complement the formal education they are learning form schools.

I will use this theory to describe how children are, they are just like a cement that has been mixed with sand, you can turn them to any direction of your choice but once the cement has dried up and is now strong, you wouldn't be able to turn it like before, so that is how our children is.

It's very important that parents are available in a child's life to direct him or her to the right path that he will grow with because once he or she has grown up, anything he constantly does when he was still an infant, that's the lifestyle he or she will continue with because to him or her, that's the right thing to do, that is why education and parenting is very important because if a child is trained properly, their are certainly types of things he will never engage him or her self into because he doesn't grow up in such a manner.

Even in the holy Bible, it is written that we should train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will never depart from it, and that's the plan truth. As an adult their are some certain things I will never do no matter what because my home training goes against that, so being available to train your child is very important because nobody will do it better than you.

Some Parents are not just doing their jobs. It's been really one of a hectic moves to consider these Parents relenting towards their roles as parents. Common this is the free world where children tend to get exposed go the truths and harshness of the society. Checking the internet, so many inappropriate information and adults pictures and videos flying right left and center. You know what's going on? Most of these kids have Mobile phone and full access to the internet, do you know what they're doing indoor? Well let me leave that unsaid. The crucial consequences Parents will face when they fail to bring up their child on the right path, the pain is unimaginable.

Parental influence changes a lot in the life of their children training of teacher or other care may have less impact when compare with parental care and influence, just like one handle it's properties where he laboured so much with care, when such is been handled by individual that doesn't know what it takes to afford it will always misuse it, so is in child raising, some touching word that reshape and reposition children mostly those parents who give their children good training, that brings in truth in them, integrity and fear of doing things contrary to the demand of their parents or anything that will represent shame before the family, such children even reframe from friendship or anything that will leads to such , teacher may not care even the school may because most government or private institution of learning focused more on money than the moral of the child they raise.

Parents of nowadays feel sending a child to school is enough in raising a child.
Sadly, a child needs more than school in as much as school is very important.

Parents should get involved in upbringing of children.
They are their kids and no one would be more sincere in teaching their kids actions they took that caused them grave mistakes.
Every other persons would be interested in teaching their success story and when they teach their mistakes, they don't go deep.

Parents should be involved in the growth of children. Hold their hands while they navigate life.

You already fail as a parent if your child can't see you as the best friend to share difficulties of life with.
Seeking solutions outside will expose children to bad mentorship and peer pressure.

Don't get me wrong, a child doesn't need only parents to grow. The point is, with parents, they have assured sincere opinion.
This is because, no sane parents would lie to their kids about life consequential decisions.

It is offcourse very important not to neglect the place of the parents during the upbringing of a child, the child needs the discipline of both the mother and the father while growing up that's why it seems like there's a vacuum in the life of a child when he or she is being raised by a single parent somehow the kind may lack the love and affection or the missing parent.
Talking about the mistakes made by parents, most times parents focus on there success and not there failures while trying to correct there children and this has led to several frustrations because when they find it difficult to rise up again.

We all know that school is very important for every child, but it's also very important that parents are involve in their kids growing up. Their is a saying in Africa that says a child is not only trained by the parents,  but rather the community. This is very true, but the importance of parents in a child's upbringing can not be overlooked. Parents are so important in their child's upbringing,  becoming i believe every parents loves their children and will want to bring them up the right way. Every parents know what's good for their child and will also want to put the child in the right part of life. Some parents are so busy that they leave the training of their child in the hands of their teacher and house help, which I think it's a bad idea, because that's create distance between the parents and the child and your child will not be able to open up to you on things that's happening in their life.
