The role of the parents
November 24, 2008What is the role of the parents in the growing of a child? In my opinion it is one of the most important roles, but is not only the role of the parents, in fact, for a good education the structure of a family as whole is important. What we learn inside home will help us all life, so it is necessary to receive a good instruction to face alone the problems later, reaching as a final aim the prosperity and success. For this reason, parents must teach children how to be independent, honest, worker, and so forth. It is simple, parents should teach the basic, the begginning, in order to leave their children in future, dealing by theirself. I am not talking about just giving money and support, it is much more important, i’m talking about education and principles in general.
On the other hand, while parents should give the necessary instruction to their children face the world, they can also give them assistence or just a present, without this kind of attitude is considered a wicked deed. Helping a sun is a kind of action totaly acceptable in Brazil, our culture just allowed it.
For instance, In Brazil it is normal to receive a car from parents as a present when a sun complete 18 years, it is not a shame. It is very simple, if the parents can give the car, if it is possible, what is the problem? I don’t see anyone, because it is clear that a boy can’t afford to buy a car by himself. Moreover and more important, if a sun really need a help, at any time of his life, parents must help him, if they can. I’m sure that it is correct, because If the parents don’t help him who will help? I agree that giving a continue support to a sun that don’t work is wrong, but give just a help when it is necessary is totaly acceptable.
In accordance of these reasons, I really believe that the parents have a important role in the raising of child, teaching or helping them, when it is necessary, being essential a close participation by the parents.
