Are parents best teachers? Parents are one`s first teachers and therefore,I believe, the best A person`s childhood years are the most important years of his life because they determine his attitude towards every aspect of life During that period, our parents not only provide us with the biological essentials to sustain in life but also with moral principles Below, I will refer to the reasons that justify my belief One of the most obvious examples of what we learn from our parents, is the first steps we take holding their hands Learning to walk, talk or even swim is done usually under their guidance and protection Children tend to imitate the movements, acts, and even words and phrases they perceive from people in their environment That`s why inevitably one`s parents are also his teachers In addition to that, parents influence in the greatest possible rate our character, and our beliefs and principles as well According to psychologists, the main aspects of a person`s character have been formatted until the seventh year of his life This theory leads me to the conclusion that a loving, caring, confident, responsible, curious character is partly the result of a parents` influence Family is the first and probably the most important social group each of us belongs to The lessons that we all take from our parents are not always obvious, but reluctantly they define our attitude towards ourselves, friends, people of the opposite sex and any other aspect of life This great influence and its duration through one`s entire life, is what makes me believe that parents are certainly the best teachers
