Conforming to parents way.....

The goal of any parent is rear a well balanced child. A parent is a child’s first teacher and it is the responsibility of the parents to do there best. If the child is raised in a home where love in shown and the parents also have boundaries they are likely to raise a fairly normal child. There is no formula for parenting, Erickson talks about the stages of development and when parents are aware of these stages it gives them a general idea of what to look for at each stage. There are many parents who have done there best to raise there children the best they know how, however those child have become the opposite of who there parents raised them to be.

With the rise of MTV and BET children are exposed to violence on a daily basis. The internet is a source of information unfortunately, many parents have had predators come into there home through there computers. A child was once considered a model child may start to display behaviors unbecoming of his character because of the friends they have met online. A child who conforms to his or her parents can live a normal life where they are able to think for themselves. There is no guarantee how a child will turn out, this is why every good parent tries there best to raise a law abiding, well rounded individual. If there was a formula that worked for all parents it would be great however, it is up the parents to teach all they know and it the child’s responsibility to uphold the values and principles they taught to the best of their ability. Some children will choose to choose to do there best to be like there parent; while some may chose not practice any of the principles they were taught.
