Need For Parents Involvement in a Child's Upbringing

[Eze BTC]

Parents of nowadays feel sending a child to school is enough in raising a child.
Sadly, a child needs more than school in as much as school is very important.

Parents should get involved in upbringing of children.
They are their kids and no one would be more sincere in teaching their kids actions they took that caused them grave mistakes.
Every other persons would be interested in teaching their success story and when they teach their mistakes, they don't go deep.

Parents should be involved in the growth of children. Hold their hands while they navigate life.

You already fail as a parent if your child can't see you as the best friend to share difficulties of life with.
Seeking solutions outside will expose children to bad mentorship and peer pressure.

Don't get me wrong, a child doesn't need only parents to grow. The point is, with parents, they have assured sincere opinion.
This is because, no sane parents would lie to their kids about life consequential decisions.

Many career parents who are very busy professionals leaves the upbringing of their children in the hands of house helps and teachers, they hardly have the time to know the type of characters that their children are shaping into. They believe that money takes care of everything including the type of characters that they expect their children to grow up into. But it is important for parents to make out time to spend with their children no matter how busy their work schedule is, if you must bring children into the world you need to create quality time to spend with them. Parents are supposed to be their children's first teachers and role model, they teach them good moral upbringing and after the kids are taught in school the parents needs to find time to assess what they are being thought.

When children are being given good thoughts and disciplines in schools but parents fails to follow suit, of course all being thought in the school will be a waste because, children learn more from who shows them love and cares.

That is why you also need to find your child a tutor or send them to schools where qualified teachers are hired so that the teacher does not only rely on earning salaries without being cared if the kids are being positively impacted as they leaves their homes/parents to go and acquire not just educational knowledges but also civil knowledges.

Some parents who may not had been in opportune to pass through school but want their children to make better schoolers are perhaps also entitled to visit/consult their kids teachers) schools to guide them in the basics of how to also encourage their children after school hours to also support the aids of the school teachers.

A failed parent to guide or encourage their children but only relies their knowledge abilities on school teachers could be absorbing for the children to adapt to the educational supports from schools.

Environments of where the child is also brought up from may also have effect on the possession of the child. Schools alone while the kids are exposed to other kids of morales and social activities may not be enough to educate the child for good.

School helps but home finishes the job Kids learn habits from parents more than lessons tbh

A lot of parent misunderstand meaning of a school. They think that school is a place that must: 1)teach their child basic knowledge 2) be a place that look after their child when they are at work (be fully responsible for what child is doing when parents are at work) 3) raise child (I mean teach how to behave, tolerance, discipline, responsibility, worldview). Most of things a child must learn at home from parents and family, and at school child must gain knowledge on traditional subjects, science and skills.

Parents expect too much from school. Mathematics class teacher must give knowledge about math; that teacher should not teach child discipline, time management, how be responsible and and respectful for example.

[Taurox]

Yeah expecting a math teacher to raise your kid is kinda lazy, schools give knowledge, parents give values, simple enough imo

Alot of busy parents like those who are doctors, lawyers, business moguls and other essential workers think as long as they are paying school fees and buying nice clothes or hiring the best house helps or nannies and they think they have done their best to their kids by falsely believing money will solve their problems but to be honest it does not work those ways because kids do not learn respect and manners or how they can better handle their emotions from their teachers or maids alone, in fact to my believe you should nit even leave the character and morals to another person in the name of a maid or teacher, else whatever you see or get, you have to embrace it like so because you won't give birth to a child then because you feel you have the money, then leave the moral upbringing of your children to someone else, it is too delicate to do so and you will regret it if time isn't taken.

I agree overall but ngl it’s tough for some parents, balance matters, still no excuse to fully outsource parenting XD

What kind of strawman is this? This is not a new thing.

Sure, there are people who avoid responsibility and hard work of raising kids, and parents that abandon their children. But they have existed since there were people around. So it's not "nowadays".

Nowadays majority of parents that i know are very much involved in lives of their children. And as a parent i have never even seen an increase of parent's not being around their children. Quite the opposite.

And sure, teachers are teaching some kids how to behave, like they have done since there were schools. Also. Parent's are not supposed to be best friends with their kids (that's actually quite creepy image). They are supposed to be loving parents that love them unconditionally. They are supposed to raise them by example and encourage and educate them, when they find their way trough obstacles of life.

This is going to make good connection as parents and child. But I've watched a video that you shouldn't show yourself as a bestfriend to your kid, you'll still need to show your supremacy that you're the parent and they are your child. Which means that you're the ones who are dominating the house and you're in the lead. Although the context of sharing good moments, memories, difficulties and other life events is actually true. The parents has to be there in most of those times which the kid will cherish those moments until they get old.

AFAIK, there are people that contributes something meaningful in raising up child, but the parents are the primary people with entire responsibilities because if anything goes wrong along the line, the society doesn't question any other person, but they question the parents for not fulfilling their duties. But come to think of it, with the way the modern education has been structured, a lot of children now spend more than half of their entire childhood and adolescence in schools, while actually having a lesser time with their actual parents. And that's where the school comes in. I don't know about others, but I personally believe that the school isn't just meant to impact knowledge on us, but it is also meant to make a few amendments especially in areas of discipline.

The school is actually one of the first place where children get to meet with other children. That's where their level of tolerance and relation starts to build up. I can go on and on to mention other things that contributes to the upbringing of a child which I think they're as important as parenting as well. At the end of the day, everyone is going to play their part, but parents shouldn't hesitate to do theirs.

A child needs to play with his peers for his growth and development, and he also needs to play with his peers for his social development, but all this does not make parents careless about raising their child by sending him to school.
In fact, the child should be raised in such a way that he can share everything he has with his parents without any fear. Yes, the child must be in society and must face evil in order to be able to protect himself from the dangers of society, and for this he needs to tell someone what he says, and the best friend for him is the family. Unfortunately, many parents act in such a way that the child does not consider his parents safe and tries to take refuge in his friends and peers for many things.
And again, unfortunately, there are parents who send their child to school for their own convenience and have nothing to do with his upbringing.

Sadly, a child needs more than school in as much as school is very important.

Its only the kind of parent that are less exposed that will allow their wards to be only impacted by the school without taking their own time to train and imbibe deliberate knowledge on them, the school only give the academic part of it, but other aspects of a child upbringing is the sole responsibility of the parent to Carter for the children and support them in moral standards, teachings and other intended values that a child should have and benefits as he grow.

Do not think that enrolling your child in a prestigious school means your responsibilities are all over. It is necessary to monitor the childs regular attendance, stay updated on their progress from the teachers which leads to better results and builds the childs self confidence. With family support children focus more on their studies, they do not waste time in unproductive activities and are less likely to suffer from depression. Parents need to have open conversation with their children acknowledge their preferences and let them know you are always there for them without any judgment. However do not try to keep them under constant surveillance 24 hours, as this can backfire. Instead spend quality time with them and support and encourage their good work

School is a place where kids can learn how to socialize along with the necessary educational knowledge but everything starts with home and their parents. What a kid watches while growing up, their future depends on it. So feed them with good habits, skills and knowledge rather than traumatize them with domestic violence that is why kids growing up in the houses where the parents mostly fight grow up some kind of rogue.

[Stalker22]

Although it is a good theory that children who were born in an "ideal" environment will historically be successful and children from an abusive and/or violent background could still succeed, it oversimplifies the issue.

Attributing the cause of a childs failure to their parents assumes that, by being "good" parents, you can somehow create a perfect child.  While a parent can model behaviours, values and attitudes, it does NOT mean that all children will grow up to emulate the parent.  Children cannot be treated as robots where one can simply program the behaviour and values; however, there are many kids who were raised by "good" parents and still failed.

In the society today, the first correspondent of every child is the parent because they spend more time at home tha  in school, if parents take their time to coach a child in the right path, it makes the job even much easier for the teachers that can be classified as the second correspondence in this case. Sending a child to school is never enough to teach a child right from wrong, they need intensive attention of their parents as well and I believe every parent should make that utmost sacrifice of their time in order to concentrate more on the upbringing of their children.

[Samlucky O]

You are very correct mate, that is why we have formal and informal education which is education that took place in class room and the one that took place at home, there should be need for good home training aside school, because a child may be educated in school but lacks the basics principle of life. Like not having a good moral, lack of respect, not having a good relationship with people, not neat or lacking a good manner of approach, and many more. All this are the role of good parenting, a full grown and educated person should be sound Both academically, mentally and  possesses a good character as a result of good home training. Most people neglect the home training and thinks that a good child is one who is sent to an expensive school without knowing that a child might be brilliant and smart but lacks the potential of requirements when it comes to the public. That's why most graduate today are very educated but can't make it in life because they lack good home training they lack the most important thing in life which is being humble. Anybody that is not humble and obedient can never succeed no matter you level of educational qualification.

A good child will be a good child and a bad child always a bad child no matter how close they are to their parents. Most the children that are missacting now are been rise by their parents, i have seen good and successful people who grow up in the street with out parents but i know the area you are emphasizing on those children will be good if they have good house help taking care of them while their parents find the money, there are children who don't know their parents they only see them come back late at work and in the morning they are out for work we should at least have some time with our children, see your children as your friend.

My built up idea about schooling has really changed to a large extent unlike the misconception I had about it earlier thinking since school is a citadel of learning then a child should be able to learn everything about education including tolerance and other things from school aside from the normal curricular activities. But I've come to realize schools are only paying much attention and priority to the curricular activities with a great negligence of character and morals hence the main cause of student's non-chalant attitude of not paying good attention to the their own lifestyle too
