How has your parent's behavior affected you? (Positively or negatively?)

My parents behavior has never for onces affected me negatively. There behavior has in one way oe another affected me positively. The decisions and things they do has in one way or another helped me out while I was growing and the things are still helping me out as I continue my own phase of life.

To some point that I will do certain things back then that are uncalled for, and they will have to correct me with certain decisions either by punishment or lashing me. To me then, my thought was that they do not love me but never I never knew that they were doing those things to protect me and make me know that the things I did were wrong.

So for the time being, I would be moody and after that I do come to my senses to know that those things are wrong and that was why I got punished. And from that day on, I stay clear from that. So the behavior I got from my parents has indeed affected me positively to the point that I can tell when a thing is bad or good.

Which of your parent's behavior do you like most?

Wow, this is kind of a trickish question. I love both of their behaviors but If I am to select based on the scale of preference I'll will go for that of my mum. My dad was a policeman before he passed away and as such, we dare not to misbehave. He always checkmate us whenever we are doing things. He makes absolute sure that we don't do otherwise.

He is a very disciplined man, he always make sure that the citizens abide by the law and maintain order. So as such, I considered him harsh because sometimes he doesn't those things too much.

My mum on the other hand is a loving woman. Actually she doesn't support bad things infact she also punish me back then whenever I do something wrong but she does that with love. After the punishment, she will call me and tell me my fault and then we will come to terms and I will apologize. So that settles it.

But my dad will whoop me so hard as if he is dealing with a criminal. So I prefer my mum's character to my dad's.

what's the best way parents can impart good Values to their kids?

The best way I believe parents can impart good values and morals to their kids is through teaching them morals like discipline, being transparent, always tell the truth, flee from evil respect everyone being obedient,and be of good behavior.

All these are characters that the parents are expected to inculcate on their children by exhibiting it. Most characters are collected from parents by their children and that is why, whatsoever you do you are to bear it in mind that children in a way or another are seeing in and are likely to inherit such characters from you.

So the best way by which parents can induce morals on their children is to be their guide and teacher, portraying the right attitude so that they themselves can see and imitate too. So it is not just by telling them but also you have to showcase it to them for more emphasis.

Write a short message to your parent

Parents, my message for you today is that, children are very sensitive no matter their age. Especially the adolescent stage, it is a stage where by they grab things easily. So it is important to be sensitive about their upbringing by training them in a good way which they are expected to follow and when they grow old, they will not go astray from it.

CONCLUSION

I believe with the above that have been said, I have done justice to this topic. The behavior of parents do affect children either positively or negatively, so it is left to you as a parent to either choose whether to affect your child positively or negatively. Remember that the values and morals of a child contributes grateful to what that child would become.

Thank you so much to the community team who have come up with such an amazing topic this week. It was worth the time. I will like to invite certain users to also participate in this contest too and they are, @jenny281, @v-brainer, and @skilocy.
