Parents' education builds up children's moral and ethical believes!! (By Lei Gao)

When we were born, we did not know what the right or wrong things are. Even when we were very young as a little kid, we cannot easily recognize those. That's because we recognize these issues based on our moral and ethic believes. However, when we are adults, we can easily distinguish the correct issues from the others. This is a long process to own this ability. In this process, our parents are the most important parts, which gradually help us build up such moral believes.

Children like to imitate what the parents have done. When we are very young, parents are our only teachers. And people we can only trust are our parents. Gradually, activities of our parents make us have great impression in our minds. We do not have any other choice to believe and care others' activities. It is like nature of trusting parents. With the growing of our trusting, we try to imitate or copy their activities. In this way, their thinkings are copied into our minds deeply. Especially the moral and ethical believes easily enter our minds.

Most teachers in schools teach us knowledge and theories; and parents teach us how to be a person. Our value belief is based on moral and ethical thinkings. We firstly judge a kind of activities as right or wrong issue based on parents' moral and ethical thinkings. For instance, parents would tell us doing like this is right or wrong. This kind of educations is curved in our minds deeply. Those issues can not be easily replaced by others.

Therefore, parents' education is very important, because children really care and wonder what they agree with. In this process of education, parents become moral authority of children. For example, some teenage smokers are really afraid that their parents notice that, because their parents tell them smoking is not good. Under the pressure of parents' authority, they dare not let their parents see that. In another point of view, positive education will lead children to be a positive person. Negative education may lead them to be deviant.

By reading the article I listen to my parents and I wonder what they believe, it shows examples and disscussions to prove the importance of parents' education, including some positive ones and also negative parts. As a child of my parents, I feel that my parents play important roles in building up my personality. Without them, I am nothing.
