Role of parents in child’life.

Parents are the child’s first role model. Children behave, react and imitate same as their parents. Parents play an important role in encouraging and motivating their kids to learn.

 In the early years, parents are their children’s first teacher- exploring nature, reading together and counting together. When a child begins formal school, the parent’s job is to show him how school can extend the learning you began together at home and how exciting and meaningful this learning can be.

One of the most important thing a parent can do is notice his or her child. Is he talkative or shy? A parent must pay attention to what his or her child loves. Find out what interests him and help him explore it. Many teachers encourage parents to go over what their young children are learning in a non- pressured way and to practice what a child learns at school. Help your child take charge of his learning and become responsible for it. Watching lots of T.V does not give children the chance to develop their own interest and explore on their own. So keep T.V to a minimum.

Just like any other relationship a parent child relationship is impacted by each person’s thought, feeling and behaviour. If both individuals have positive thoughts and feeling about one another and their behaviour are mutually respectful, it is likely that the relationship is healthy, functional and satisfying.
