PARENTS MUST SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S BEHAVIOUR

Parenting plays a huge role in shaping up a child’s behaviour and personality. They are mostly responsible for what a child carries forward. What can parents pass to children? Only what they know. Is it enough for children? Even they get good teachers in school, but do they get good gurus? That is more important. Parenting is an art and having a good education is a wonderful backup.

The human brain soaks in information from various stimuli, stored as neurons in various sections of the nervous system. All these sections actually form pathways, which determine some behaviour that the body-mind complex expresses. In the first 7-10 years of a human life, the neuron pathways are formed at the quickest pace and so these neural circuits become highly action potent as they form. Therefore, to the extent of that period of time, as most human beings spend the most time with their parents, it may be concluded that parents do become the major influencers.

However, as the human being engages with other environments such as school, friends, action groups and clubs , the list of influencers keeps growing.

Some traits are inherited as well as the behaviour patterns of any individual from the parents. So it’s important for the parents to check their flaws so that the child doesn’t pick up these bad habits, as it’s going to affect the future generations too.
