People say that a child’s success is dependent on the way parents bring to them up. To what extent do you agree or disagree????

Success in a person’s life doesn’t come overnight. One can’t buy the success from the store. It is something that requires the continuous investment of the time and efforts by the parents. Therefore I agree with the given statement that parents nurturing contributes a great deal to a child’s success.

There is no doubt that the most important part is played by the parents in the bringing up of a child. Parenting consists of balanced development of children’s physical, emotional and intellectual qualities. Parents provide shelter, food and clothes and also promote the healthy life of their children. Parents provide safe loving environment and have a mental bonding with their children. All these things do play a part in the child’s success in the later life.

Undoubtedly, there are other factors such as good schooling, good teachers and peers and the media. These too have a role in success of a child but it is ultimately the parents who select the school for their children. Good schools have good infrastructure and good faculty. They have a regular parent-teacher meeting. These interactions between the parents and the teachers are helpful in understanding the aptitude of the child and guide him towards the right career path.

Furthermore, the friend circle of the child also matters in success of the child. Here too, there is the role of the parents. Good parenting also involves keeping an eye on the child’s peers. If parents are themselves are friendly with their children will introduce them to their friends also. This is very important in the most impressionable adolescent year of the child’s life. Finally there is a role of media. Here too parents can intervene and monitor what their children are watching.

To sum up, parent is not an easy task. Becoming a parent is the easiest part, whereas being a conscious and a positive parent is a momentous task. Parenting is the most important role one faces in a lifetime. Parents who provide an encouraging environment for their children are rewarded when as adult their children become successful in a life.
