what is the role of parents in inculcating good values to the child

Answer 1

                   Parents Role in Inculcating Good Values to Children

 

Parents are the first teachers of a man. Since early infancy, parents are the people with whom a man spends maximum amount of time. Hence they play quite a pivotal role not only in the development of his moral and ethical values. A child learns more by watching and imitating the people around him. If the parents display high moral values in their behavior and routine activities, the child will automatically learn those values. It has been observed that parents who are highly ethical and upright, their children tend to be ethical and upright. On the other hand, children of criminals tend to pick up delinquent tendencies.

Since parents influence a child’s moral and ethical aspect so much, they must be very careful in observing and practicing their own ethics and morals. In the presence of their children they must not intentionally or unintentionally do, say or act anything immoral and unethical. They must always remember children learn values indirectly more than directly. For example if parents wish their children to be hardworking, they must be hardworking themselves. Similarly if they wish their child to be truthful, they must practice truthfulness themselves, otherwise teaching morality to children will do them more harm than good. Example is always better than precept after all.

Answer 2

Answer:May be upbringing counts a lot in shaping the personality of child into a good person But there were instances in India where though son was very good till his marriage,suddenly he comes under the strict influence of the new wife who longs for independence and separation from the old in-laws to start their independent living free of interference.and this is understandable by the educated and wise in-laws.But atleast they expect the son to visit parents and sister once in a month having been working in the same town in a very big officer post as the parents are financially sound and don't expect any financial help from son,but feel very much sad as to where their upbringing had gone wrong that despite having been very good in studies,with no vices at all and considered to be a model son till marriage,suddenly though started living separately for their privacy ,what prevents the son to exercise his individuality and reasoning in visiting old parents atleast once in a month and to show the grand son.Even if the son and daughter in law don't get time to visit them atleast daughter in law and son should allow the old parents to visit their place to spend sometime together But son says his wife doesn't like their visiting,and when parents question either he should visit them or allow the old parents visit his place and if daughter in law won't like either of the two ,atleast once in a month both families can meet in a good restaurant over lunch or dinner as parents got their own car and son need not pickup them.But under daughterinlaws instruction son says she won't like even his( son) meeting them.one day mother in law went directly to meet daughter in law alone to discuss with her as to what is her problem or why she is not allowing their son too to visit them ,as they can't question her to visit them if she doesn't wish,but her preventing son also from parents is not correct.But daughter in law didn't allow her to talk and indirectly indicated to mother in law to leave as she had to attend urgent kitchen work inside.Mother in law got stunned for the lack of manners on the part of daughter in law who is also a doctorate in science and Asst professor in university.

Morale:- Even highly education sometimes not necessary that teaches you etiquette& good manners.Even your good upbringing may help your son to achieve his goals to be very successful in education and job but not necessary that he would try to be rationalistic and reasonable in thinking.He after marriage must have thought of keeping good relation with wife by not going against her wishes,as old parents need was over to get high education and top job with financial security and his future for next 50 to 60 years is with wife ( our good upbringing helped him not to quarrel with wife and to be a good husband it appeared leaving ripened fruits to their fate )
