It is true
that children be affected by both their parents and external activities. Some
people argue that parents help children have their ethical personality.
However, others claim that teenagers improve their sociability and sense of
independence through various external activities.
On the one
hand, there are some people arguing that family time with parents helps
children inform their upright personality. This is because, except the time in
school, a child spends most of the time with their parents in the house.
Meanwhile, mather and father teach ethical attitude to their child, which makes
them grow up to be a right person. For example, relatively, teens who have the
least time with their parents are more likely to victimise and make trouble in
school. Hence, it seems more convincing that the more time child spends with
their parents, the more children grow up to be an ethical person.
On the other
hand, others say that external activities can improve teenagers sociability.
When they are growing up, various activities with friends make them more
sociable because pupils play a pivotal role in an interpersonal relationship.
For instance, with the invention of the Internet, children have few
opportunities on playing outside with their friends, which makes them far less
sociable. So, many parents, nowadays, encourage their children to participate
in social camping or activity club to make them have more friends and external
experiences. Moreover, it can cause teens have more sense of independence. This
is because, when they stay away parent, they have more chances to do all things
by themselves. For example, social experiences such as part-time job make them
stronger because they have to solve challengeable problems and make a decision
by themselves.
In
conclusion, both views have their strong points. However, it seems that the
latter view is more convincing: contribution to improving children's
sociability and sense of independence. |
