Bad Influence
If a child asks their parent to go to another child's house, but their parent thinks he/she is a bad influence for their child, the parent should let their child go. Firstly, one child who is a bad influence can be good influence for another child. In contrast, without bad influences, children cannot decipher what is right or wrong. For example, if we did not have bad influences in this un-utopian world, children would do what ever they want and not realize what they are doing is wrong; because the parents would not have an example of what is wrong about what their child has done. Parents should trust their children to do the right thing and learn from a bad influence. Without wrong, we would not know right. Secondly, a child should have their parents trust. Without their parents trust, their child can not do what they want to do. Therefore, their child will make the right choices and give their parents reasons to trust him/her, so he/she can do what he/she wants to do. Children should have the freedom to do what they want to do, to an extent, so they can grow. Lastly, by giving a child their own freedom, it reserves them the right to gain their parents trust and respect, by showing them he/she knows right from wrong. Freedom for a child is way of letting them grow while doing what they please. By not giving children their freedom, that causes children to hang on their parents decisions and not make their own; thus, children would not grow or be able to make the right decisions and know weather their decision is right or wrong. In short, children should go to other children's houses, of bad influence, to learn from them. Parents should give children their undivided respect, trust, and freedom, so they can do so. It is very important to show a child what is right and what is wrong, then give them a chance to do what they want, so they can show their parent they do know right from

    I want kids to feel- empowered is not the best word, but- connected to their lives and connected to their communities. I don't want them to feel like things kind of happen around them and there's nothing they can do about it. I want them to understand that each decision they make, like it or not, is a decision and it has an impact. And I want them to take responsibility for it." (pp.40-41)…

    Parents owe children protection, education, love, and many other important things. But children owe parents respect, love, and trustworthiness. “I was too ashamed, mom. I hid.” Mom pointed her chopsticks at me. “You see?” She said, “Right there. That’s exactly what I’m saying. You’re way too easily embarrassed. Your father and I are who we are. Accept it.” We can all agree that the parents hold up the heavier side of this conversation, but no one can argue that children owe important things to their parents. “One time I saw a tiny Joshua tree sapling growing not too far from the old tree. I wanted to dig it up and replant it near our house. I told Mom that I would protect it from the wind and water it every day so that it could grow nice and tall and straight. Mom frowned at me. "You'd be destroying what makes it special," she said. "It's the Joshua tree's struggle that gives it its beauty.” Parents need to give their children space to grow by themselves. The parent’s duty is to make sure the child grows up in a good environment with education. But the little things like giving a little leeway can make all the difference in the world for your child growing up. Parents also owe their children protection, although protection wasn’t always the top of their lists. Rex walls and Rose Mary knew that keeping their child safe was more important than themselves.…

    Children need guidance. They know when something is right or wrong but they don't always know to listen to the voice that is warning them to make a good or right choice. We have to be that voice (conscience) until they can reason for themselves. If we instill the proper values while they are still young they will grow up to be responsible adults.…

    Parents are the last people on earth to lose trust to their children. Parents, by nature, believe in their children. However, when parents feel betrayed by their children, they eventually become doubtful of their children. As a result, parents will become strict to their children and they will demand more from them. The authoritative environment imposed by parents when they lose their confidence to their children is very restricting. Parents become paranoid and will not allow their children to go out with friends. In colloquial terms, children are grounded. Parents will not even let their children use their cellular phones and internet. Opportunities open to children are restrained when…

    First of all, children learn what they live, but not every parents can provide their children with a good environment to live in and learn. If the child was born into a family where the bad-tempered father would beat up the mother every time he’s impatient, it will learn to be an aggressive kid, who may grow up and hurt people. If the child was born into a rich family where its mommy and daddy give it big bucks every time it want, it will become a spoiled child, who will never learn the value of money, as well as the value of earning it.…

    As the child grows up, new challenges are created for the parents. One of the most important parts of raising a child is to teach it morals and discipline. Many times parents find it difficult to decide when and how to teach a child a certain thing. For example, parents must show that lying and cheating are not good, but many are unable to explain the negative results of these actions. Also, many families have environments where children see their…
