Topic: Impacts of Parents to Their Children

Parents Are Not The Best Teachers For Their Children title
Orang Tua Bukanlah Guru Terbaik Untuk Anak-Anak Mereka

Introductory paragraph
Parents shape their children from the beginning of their children's lives. They develop
close emotional ties with their children. They share their interest with them. They teach

parents can also give negative examples to their children. Some mental disruption of statement

Orang tua membentuk anak-anak mereka sejak awal kehidupan anak- identificati
anak mereka. Mereka mengembangkan ikatan emosional yang erat on

yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan anak-anak mereka. Namun, s statement
orang tua juga bisa memberi contoh negatif kepada anak-anak
mereka. Beberapa gangguan mental kehidupan orang dewasa dapat
ditelusuri kembali ke orang tua yang salah selama masa kanak-

Body Paragraphs
Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. For example, they may limit a
child's freedom in the name of safety. A teacher may organize an educational trip to a

big city, but a parent may think this trip is too dangerous. A school may want to take the ration of
children camping, but a parent may be afraid of the child getting hurt thesis
statement
Orangtua mungkin terlalu dekat dengan anak-anak mereka secara
emosional. Misalnya, mereka dapat membatasi kebebasan anak atas

nama keselamatan. Seorang guru dapat mengatur perjalanan
pendidikan ke kota besar, tetapi orang tua mungkin menganggap
perjalanan ini terlalu berbahaya. Sekolah mungkin ingin membawa
anak-anak berkemah, tetapi orang tua mungkin takut anak itu
terluka.

Another problem is that parents sometimes expect their children's interests to be similar
to their own. If the parents love science, they may try to foster their child to love science
too. But what if the child prefers art? If the parents enjoy sports, they may expect their
child to participate on the different things. But what if the child prefers to read?
 Argu

Masalah lain adalah bahwa orang tua kadang-kadang berharap bahwa
minat anak-anak mereka sama dengan mereka. Jika orang tua
mencintai sains, mereka mungkin mencoba untuk membesarkan anak
mereka untuk mencintai sains juga. Tetapi bagaimana jika anak
lebih suka seni? Jika orang tua menikmati olahraga, mereka
mungkin mengharapkan anak mereka untuk berpartisipasi pada hal-
hal yang berbeda. Tetapi bagaimana jika anak lebih suka membaca?

Finally, although parents want to pass on their values to their children, values can  Argu
change. The children of today are growing up in the world different from their parents’ ment 3
world. Sometimes parents especially older ones can't keep up with rapids social or
technological changes. A student who has friends of different races at school may find
that his parents have narrower views. A student who loves computers may find that her
parents don't understand or value the digital revolution.

Akhirnya, meskipun orang tua ingin menyampaikan nilai-nilai

mereka kepada anak-anak mereka, nilai dapat berubah. Anak-anak
saat ini tumbuh di dunia yang berbeda dari dunia orang tua
mereka. Kadang-kadang orang tua terutama yang lebih tua tidak
dapat mengikuti perubahan sosial atau teknologi yang rapuh.
Seorang siswa yang memiliki teman dari berbagai ras di sekolah
mungkin menemukan bahwa orang tuanya memiliki pandangan yang
lebih sempit. Seorang siswa yang mencintai komputer mungkin
menemukan bahwa orang tuanya tidak mengerti atau menghargai
revolusi digital.

Concluding paragraph
Parents are important teachers in our lives, but they aren't always the best teachers.
Fortunately we have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach
