The importance of parent's role and their contribution in a child's life really matters a lot in their upbringing that really needs to be looked into in other for them to follow the right step and do the right thing. Children are moved by what they see when growing up that have an effect in their upbringing whether positive or negative.
It is quite said that we all have different types of parents that treats us differently with their impact as a parent. The first guidance and teaching children need should be from the parents which is a major priority that should take place before other people like school teachers and religious teachers can add their value as well.
Children upbringing really matters a lot in other for them to follow the right path and take life easy as they see it which includes parents effects in their lives. But in most cases it's really different with how parents treat their children especially the ones that don't have time for them or check on them which probably you might not blame them do to work but it's definitely not appropriate when such parents don't care or show concern to such children which I believe affects their upbringing and mentality when growing.
It is always good to show your children the right path in doing the right when you showcase such attitude as well because they will definitely grow with it which they can pass across to their children too. Their growing up needs love and care which they appreciate a lot when it is been shown to them and some times gifts do back it up to put smile on their face and most times this aspect of gifts should be from parents who don't have time for their kids due to work to back the absence up.
There is something I believe most parents are lacking that really needs to be impact on children apart from buying clothes, providing shelter, paying school fees, providing food stuffs which I believe is a major responsibility of a parent to take In taking care of the family.
But the truth be told apart from all this necessary items needed to provide for the children our attitude towards children matters a lot in their upbringing that we really need to take caution of to avoid them take the negative idea or step when growing up. Most people character today is the character they got from their parents which have been passed across to them.
In Africa most especially we believe beating up a child is part of home training which I believe is not suppose to so, though a child can be punished for doing wrong but not turning it to a daily routine by dealing with such child mercilessly with heavy beating this however stick to their brain in which they can also do the same someday to their children.
It is right to correct a child when they do wrong but not overreacting by inflicting serious pain and injury on them. A friend once told me that he apologized to his children for the first when he realized the way he treat them wasn't right and despite doing that his children ran away because they were expecting it was another trick for him to beat them again since they've not saw him apologize before.
And I ask why was it so and he told me his parents why he was growing never apologized to him and he do feel sober when such happen and promised not to pass it to his children and when he realized he did he was unhappy and summon courage to apologise to them.
We need to teach our children the right thing and show them that parental love from both the father and the mother and with that they will find love and happiness growing up which they can show to people as well.
