That he is strayed by the rest of the town - peer pressure. Mr Cunningham is also just like everyone else he has his blind spots. In conclusion, Atticus against the odds teaches his children that people should be judged by their own merits and not my the social norms. Through the thematic theme of prejudice Attiucs is the role model to children, He is looked up to by his family and his friends who "trust him to do
"Parents are guides and leaders to their children, not a nanny." Parents show their children and make them realize how important it is to learn it and they keep pushing until they want to learn it because it is only your parents who truly love you. Neil Millar starts his inspiring essay by setting the scene of, "a loving parent striving to give your children the best life you can offer", this is relating to most parents with their children. Neil is mainly setting his goal to help parents, "raise well-rounded, confident, considerate children that show gratitude and appreciation for all that is give to them". It is very clear that he shows that it is important
Readers can learn to follow the examples of the good parent and they can now avoid doing bad things to their own children. Atticus and Calpurnia had done their part as great parents and surely Jem and Scout would grow up to be good parents themselves. But for Bob Ewell, his children would probably grow up thinking that what their father did to them was a good act and they will follow his examples, thus making them bad parents and bad examples for their future children. A good parent will never let their children be astray from the right path and will always try to teach them the right ways and how to be good parents themselves in the
It derives from a passage in the Bible which states, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Proverbs 13: 24 Discipline shows a child that they are not above reproach and that they are responsible for their own actions. Children are born instinctively with the understanding of “I am right, you are wrong, and I will do what I please”. But as parents it our sole purpose from the child’s very first breathe to imbed all of what we know and believe to be right in order to survive and flourish in the world around us into them. The Bible also states, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod will drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:15 I myself am a believer in the Christian faith and what I have learned from my belief I firmly stand by. A “spanking” is not the only form of punishment I use, but I feel it is appropriate in times of clear defiance.
Some parents ignore to teach their children when they were young. It cause many children don’t care their behavior and they will get the wrong worldview. I like this book because that is a good advice for children and parents, it can help parents teach their children keep a good behavior when they were young. How to listening to the other people, that is a serious problem for children, especially for parents. Now, more and more children don’t like to listen to the other people.
One of the most important lessons that he teaches them is empathy, “You never really understand a person until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” 30. The children learn that they should not judge people until they can understand what they’re going through. By the end of the story Scout feels
According to Coles, parents have difficulty explaining ethics to their children because they don't want to shatter their kids innocence. They tend to keep them in a bubble so their kids don't grow up with bad experiences, yet they tell them what to believe in. “In many homes parents establish moral assumption, mandates, priorities. They teach children what to believe in, what not to believe in. They teach children what is permissible or not permissible” (61).
All children want attention from their parents, it can be good or bad attention and if they do not receive the attention they want it can lead to struggle for the child. The narrator's of both stories are not shown the attention that they want and makes them struggle to find their true identities. In "The Charmer" Winifred is never the centre of attention, she is always overshadowed by her brother Zachary "..it was like he was a movie star or TV hero or something" (Wilson 101). Her parents always gave him the attention, even when he disobeyed the rules of the house he still found a way to make it positive and funny to the parents. Zachary got so much attention that Winnifred wanted to be just like him that's why she did everything he asked her to do but when they both grow up things change.
I really like the idea of the author that there are two kinds of mind-set: fixed mind-set and growth mind-set. However, I don’t agree that it is only educators’ fault that some kids have fixed mind-set. I think that it all starts in the family, way before school. Parents think their kids are special and tell them that they can achieve everything they want. But parents often forget to mention that the key to success is hard work.
As kids, we’re all curious. We have urges to touch and feel things, not thinking about the consequences. “Don’t touch the stove” “Look both ways before crossing the street” “Don’t talk to strangers!” are just a few of the many things parents tend to teach their children for their well-being. Our parents nurture us, and teach us right from wrong. These are all examples of how nurture determines our behavior.On the other side, we inherit many traits from our parents and our family members.
