Are Parents the Best Teacher?

There was an old phrase all roads are lead to Rome, which means that there are many

ways to reach one goal. For the kid character establishment, there are many ways to

establish it. Especially, parenting teaching can be one of the answers. Parents have to shape

the kids' character, which can be the best teacher for the kids if they do it appropriately.

Besides, parents can be their inspiration and motivation for their future provision, like how

to be a mature personality. Ironically, some kids outside there are labeling their parents as

not the best teacher. The reason is the kids are not comforting of their parental teaching.

Probably because of the different needs and affection on both sides. The consequences lead

to escape from the kids to get education from others, such as relatives and influencers.

These kids will learn from their parents' siblings, teachers, influencers, friends, and

everything that they can be their inspiration.

All parents around the world wanted to make their kids better. They do this by

educating and giving instructions to them with affection and attention. It also depends on

the parents who teach their kids. These instructions that have given to kids will give two

effects. There are right and wrong things. The right thing is the kids will understand the

things that they should do and otherwise. That means the kids will be wise about doing

something based on what they need. However, the mistake is this education also will not

always be a solution for kids who have arbitrary parents. Despite the parents who want their

kids better, they wanted it based on their needs, not for the kids. That is why the way to
 educate the kids can be disserving for them. For example, there was a 1story about a teacher

who had a sister. Her sister had two daughters, and she wanted one of them had to be male.

This daughter that pretended the male did it until she mature. But, Some of her family

members and neighbors disagreed about her mother. Her daughter will loose her feminist

quality. Finally, her mother realized, and she wanted to change her like the girl before. This

story gives meaning. The parents who do arbitrary to the kids without looking at their

child's feelings and shape their character will be disserving the kids from mental and

physical. It is also can be a contention of both sides, and some kids just admit what their

parents give, even the worst.

. Human characteristic is also shaped based on nature and nurture. Mother nature

refers to the effect of birth, and raising nurture is the effect of surroundings. Both of them

promote parenting teaching, such as the establishment of character for kids. Nature and

nurture can happen for all humans but in various ways, and it is including the parents and

kids. Besides, it has differences in behavior between each other. If the parenting teaching

process has the right nature and nurture, the process will produce good kids. Somehow, it will

betray the result if one or two of them has something wrong. The kids did not assume the

parents who have bad behavior or do not pay attention to this situation, and it can occur a

fatal impact. Such as the kids will have a weak mind, or they can be aggressive to other

people. There is a story that involves nature and nurture. In the East of Eden by John

Steinbeck, Cyrus Trask had two sons named Adam Trask and Charles Trask. Adam Trask

was a soft boy that inherited from his deceased mother, and Charles Trask was a rough boy

that inherited from his father. Cyrus Trask educated his two sons, but he loved Adam more

than Charles, but Charles loved his father more, envied his brother, and harmed him. From

this part, nature or nurture behavior needs a lot of attention. With their attention, at least these

kids' behavior will strong. Reality, these irresponsible parents ignore nature and nurture that

involve the kids' behavior. Whereas, this is the key to the parenting teaching process.

Sometimes, kids need attention and freedom for their choices. At least the parents let

the kids grow independently and fulfil their needs. The kids assume that some of the parents

are afraid excessively that the kids will get harm if they are going free outside, and they are

very less of attention and affection to the kids due to them go for a living. Whereas, these

parents will make the kids lead to the inability to independent, and they will give less

affection to their parents. The worst thing is, the kids will be introverted if their freedom

restricted because of their parents. Besides, the kids will give less affection if the parents do

not give it to them because of their bustle. They may afraid or work for a living, but they

have to spare the time and condition for their kids.

These parents who are the worst teacher, they should know about their kids, and

realize their condition. Because they need a figure or teacher that establish their character,

help them to be a mature person, and grow independently. However, there is a challenge in

parenting teaching process that make them do not like that. Even though being a parent is not

easy at all. It needs a lot of preparation and a good decision-maker. Just like making a

beverage, the kid is like water. The parents are like the maker. To make the best beverage, it

needs a lot of good quality ingredients and the right dosage. If they make it without attention,

it will be terrible and not representable.
