This is an open discussion to all steemians. I have been wondering for a while now what actually makes one child obedient and another disobedient whiles they live in the same house with similar trainings. Is it the fault of parents, friends or peers that lead to this situation? Is it liberal treatment, poor parenting or any single cause that leads to this unwanted and disheartening attitude.
In My Hometown With My Granny
Every child is unique but fundamentally the same. Why then do we all behave differently? This is the taught that stroke me as i was driving my parent to my home town. I have had this question stuck in my head for several years with no absolute answer but it kept resonating with circumstances. This time round, my parents were talking about how a family friend failed to bring up their ward in a rightful manner. They uniformly agreed to the fact that it is the fault of the parents.
Does it solely depend on our parents?
I couldnt accept the fact because many people had poor parenting yet they turned out fine as good wards. I have a friend whose parents quit marriage at the age of 12 (the period where peer pressure influence is at its peak ). He was left to cater for himself as both parents refused to take responsibility. He was actually the best student in our class. The break-up and subsequent poor parental care neither affected his studies nor moral life. Probably, i couldnt see the results of the break-up well but he is still in school studying to become a medical doctor as i speak. I know you must have someone with a similar issue as this is quite common in our usual life. The situation therefore partly disproves the fact that poor parenting is the cause of disobedience and bad behaviour of a ward. Moreover, i know a Pastor's Son who is as stubborn as a church rat. Does that mean his parents didnt bring him up well. I will say no. Probably he was brought up in a manner which should and must ensure that he becomes a good Christian and good ward. So what must have led to this unfortunate turn out of events?
Hmm. I leave it to you to bring out your ideas.
