Parents role in shaping a Child's behaviour

Very true parents play very important role in shaping their child. Most. Important point I liked in this article is about being a rile model for your child. I agree to this one. If parents misbehave in front if their kids, then kids are definitely going to grasp such behavior. However sometimes, environment affect the behavior of child as well. Even though parents fulfill their role as being good parents, surroundings like friends, classmates,etc can inculcate the bad behavior in a child

True. Parents are the first Role model of a child. Generally many parents underestimate a child's learning abilities. They think that Children cannot understand the things going on in the family. This is a misconception and far from truth. The fact is, Children can very well understand and imitate.

 

Parents are the ones who are most responsible for shaping their child's future as they are the ones who pass their genes to the child and also the way they behave and conduct themselves is copied by the child. So it is upto the parents on how the kids turn out to be.

yeah we all know that if we want our child to the best in behaviour then it is our duty to make him/her understand the importance of good behaviour in the society 

Some times even if parents teach good values to their children, some children don't turn to be good person, either they get involved into bad habits or into criminal activities. In such cases, I think environment is responsible. Children spend most of the time in school or with their friends, as compared to with their parents. Such bad environment influence the child to adopt the wrong path.

Environment in and out of the home too contribute largely to a Child's behavior. But, the very first aspect to be taken care of is to take care of the environment in the Home. It's here the first lessons of communication skills, the child learns. The other aspects to be taken care of are, giving responsibilities, especially teens, age- appropriate responsibilities gradually  to the  children. Child upbringing is a tight rope walk.

the parent should keep their children in that environment which speaks only goodness and teaches lesson about humanity

Is such a thing ever possible? Also is it practical to lock the child up in an atmosphere that I'd artificial goodness and humanity, when we all know that the outside reality is harsh, it is better that the child learns to distinguish between what is positive and what is negative and learns the basics while interacting with the outside world

Child upbringing Yields good results only when the child is allowed to  interact withe outside world. Before that, the parents should provide a congenial atmosphere in the home.

at least at home we can teach them about humanity, good values. and we should make our child so strong that nobody can push our child to the bad and wrong path. 

 

True, parents are the biggest influence upon children which shapes them but I think it's not all. Shaping of a child is also based upon school, friends, surroundings and environment within the family among all the family members.

I agree. Besides parents, Teachers do have a role in shaping the children. But, the role of teachers comes later. Parents are the first teachers of a child. There are no better Teachers than the parents. There are no better educational institutions than the Home.

 

yeah parents are main cause of shaping the child life because if the root is strong then it is very hard to lay down the tree or to make him fall down easily  

While it is true that Parents play a vital role in shaping up a child's behaviour, it is essential to take certain important steps to ensure a right behaviour in their kids. Children learn a lot from their Parents. So this is the first aspect to be given utmost importance. Other aspects are, parents should learn to appreciate the good things in the kid and adjust with their shortcomings. At the same time giving responsibilities, frequent communication with the child are equally important.

i have seen many parents forcing their child to become this and that which the parents wants their child to be, is this the parents role to force their child to be. 

No. Certainly it's not ideal parenting. Ideal Parenting has been discussed with all details by many members. Have a look at them.
