parents and children

i think the parents have their obligation to guide the children and teach them how to live in this world with moral values. as parents they have to be very careful in making a good foundation for the children's future. so in a way if there's something that goes wrong the parent has part of a responsibility of the child's actions.. but then again when their child is old enough.. i think they are responsible for their own actions..

I think parents in general either get too much blame, or too much credit for their children's actions.

I think a lot of that has to do with parents blaming themselves. I know when something is going badly for my son in school I wonder if I am doing something wrong at home with him. ANd when my littleones get sick I wonder if I didn't bundle them up well enough in the cold weaher or if I am not giving them enough healthy stuff to eat and too much junk. It is tough to be a parent. And most other parents instead of being supportive are competitive.

As per my understanding, there are many factors that affect children's behaviour, including but not limited to Genes, Social Circle, Family background, Attitude towards life and Age ... It also depends on how much does the parents interfere in the Children's decision making ... Eventually the kid is an individual, For eg: a kid from a well cultured but unfortunate poor family can become hostile towards the society in his youth ... its not their parents problem at all in other case a kid from a rich but not so cultured family can leave everything which he owns and may want to live a simple life .. here also its the individual's own perspective towards life that makes him or her well mannered or ill mannered
