Need For Parents Involvement in a Child's Upbringing

[pliego]

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.

maybe the internet is raising kids more than parents are now unfortunately

There are times in life when people simply wash their hands of you, saying that you are over 18 and have to fend for yourself in life, But it's a somewhat selfish act that some parents have taught their children absolutely nothing but pure vanity and prejudices about what not to do. Now it's up to us to learn to deal with it all on our own, so that the only hope that remains is our children, after so much suffering.

The truth is just that we have lost those days when parents pay attention to the upbringing of their children because in the modern world we are now, most parents especially those who are rich don't have time for their children anymore, all they do is work and focus on themselves leaving behind the children at the care of nannies and their teachers in school. Gone are those days when parents sit with their children and begin to have conversations with them to know how they are living their lives and these carefree lifestyles have made many children to get exposed to things they are not supposed to get knowledge of at their age. The children begin to get corrupted by other corrupt children and before the parents will know it, the children have already developed some bad habits which are difficult to control. Honestly it is becoming a thing of worry because children are the future of tomorrow so when they are not properly brought up, it poses danger to the upcoming generation because they will see life differently from the way it should be.

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.

To effectively train up a child, you need parents that are intentional about the child's upbringing, the society that also influence his actions and life's decisions as well as the learning environment that jointly contribute to the overall wellbeing of the child.

Even if your child is attending a boarding school, it's still your primary responsibility that you give him the training that a father or mother ought to give to the child. There are life's lessons that only the parents can teach children. No matter how busy you're, you ought to create time to teach your child those life's lessons.

I believe good parents will always be involved to see their child's progress because they wanted their kids growth well and won't do anything bad but indeed the school and good parenting at home is necessary to ensure our kids life better and simple thought is school is the places where the kids can sosialize and learn the things they didn't know and at home too their parents will teach how to be a good person but do not forget too the environment can give huge impact to kids life in the future and this is a parent jobs to ensure their kids in the good environment

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.

Any parents that are not involved in their child's life are obviously raising the child without love and a child that grew up without love has no love to give out to the next person hence the reason why their are sadists and individuals that doesn't know how to love, I have the memories from my childhood and my parents aren't perfect but they were present in my life so I'm picking out the little mistakes they have made while I was growing up to raise my kids without ignoring the mistakes and learning from it. Imagine growing up in a home where you get to only see your parents once in a while even though you live under the same roof and you are left at the mercy of your nanny, kids often pick up good or bad behavior from their parents and if they are raised in an environment that their parents never displayed love and affection to each other then that kid will grow up thinking that it's normal which is very wrong.

Bible has said it all that as a parent you should train up your children in the way they should go and when they grow they wouldn't depart from all that doctrine and values that have being taught them. There are many failed parents out there who haven't yet realised how badly they are, of which they ain't even with calling parents when you look at the character of their children in public. I think that being a good parent doesn't cost a thing but some parents just makes it appear like it's a difficult thing to do.

Parents should be deeply invested in their children development. There are various ways a child develops, both mentally, intellectually, emotionally and psychologically. Parental involvements helps children develop properly and such cannot be gotten from teachers in school. Parents need to closely observe their children, encourage, support and provide companionship where needed to help these lads grow with every sense of responsibility, awareness and love.

I believe every child sees their parents as role models and in scenarios that the parents are absent, there would always be gaps in their emotional and psychological growth. No parent should make any excuse for not giving their child adequate attention because it is the child's right that you would always be present in their developmental years to guide them through unless of course they're late or other factors that makes it impossible for them to be available.

Children learn easier and faster from their parents. Parents are the first role model to their kids. Caring and teaching these kids the right things to do and the right part to follow is very crucial so that they don't get misled by their friends. Education can be given to a child but that parental love and guardian is needed for them not to go astray.

[Oshio-man]

I agree with you op, sending a child to school is not up bring only as a parent because education cannot do everything for that child to become a good child every parent will wish to have, the child may be well educated but that parents loves will not be there for the child to acquire because there are some home training parents will give to their children, it will not make the  child or children to turn to bad children in the community, we have seen many children these days who are well educated to acquire all the certificates but some of them are not doing what they study or practice in school,  there is no how a parent will have time for her children and they will not do what their parents ask them to do because their parent will never asked them to do bad thing because it will bring bad name to their parent.

not everything is taught at school so the parents should not be depending solely on the teachers as they can’t give everything a child needs like emotional support as much as teachers can be kind, children require love and support from their parents the most

A good parenting is when both father and mother play there part in child upbringing. Sending children to school and giving them quality education is responsibility of parents and it's also equally important that parents play there part when children return to home. This include  asking your children what they have done at school, helping them in completing homework etc. Children who got attention of both father and mother are more confident and successful in their life, children are best gift of nature to us and we must take special care of them.

That’s correct.
Regardless of the kind of effort a teacher might put or the impact they make, parents still play the most vital part in every child's life. Although this is something that’s mostly overlooked by a lot of parents, they only feel like their only duty is to provide the child with their basic needs and that’s it, and this can have some negative impact on the child. I’ve come to understand that children tend to look up to their parents more than they do to others no matter how influential they are, and that’s why parents have so much of a role to play in the lives of their kids.

[Yablee0]

Parents play a very crucial role in the upbringing of any child in all aspects, many children today wasn't properly brought up because they lack parental guards from their eairly tender age.

However children you see can't differentiate their left from their right and it is the duty of the patient to guide them, teach them, correct them when doing the wrong thing perhaps discipline them when going  astrained if necessary, some people think the only necessary thing to be done is when they send their child to school, feed them adequately or cloth them that's capital NO, what we are talking about is way more beyond that, however teaching your children morals lessons , core discipline, how to spot evil and stay clear from it, how to be a good figure to the society and more.
These are what a child without the watch of his parents will be missing out.

Secondly, it is very crucial very every parents to keep their children beside them because not even your own blood relative we ever take care of your child better than the way you would have done.

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

The problem lies in where they need to carter for their child. I know of many parents who have more than 2 jobs, sometimes 3. Because of how busy they are, they find it hard to have quality time with their kids. Even if the intention is to take good care of them personally, the process of looking for money to take care of them and pay their bills will not allow them have that chance. Having a nanny is the only option, but that means another person will train your child the way he/she will grow.

[Ndabagi01]

The first step of socialisation of a child is the family, if the family has failed in the upbringing of the child, then the child will exhibit a failure character in the outside world. It is after family that society and peer groups have a bigger influence in the child’s development, so even if the parents have done their own part, they need to still follow up to know how the child interacts in the society and how they tend to make sure that the child’s behavior and upbringing will help in the serenity of the environment they found themselves. Parents needs to take part throughout actively in the upbringing of the child, they should not feel relaxed that their own teachings at home will guide them throughout without checking the external influences that can affect their upbringing.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Training up a child comes with a lot of responsibility and many persons would things is by answering the name a father or mother and taking the child to school especially taking the child to school, going to school is good but there are things the school won't teach or include as a topic to teach the child so that's where the complete parenting comes in, thats where to know how good you are as a father or a mother. Giving birth to a child is not the final work to be done and sometimes I ask, between the boy and girl child which is difficult to take care for? Non has an easy path and for me I don't know which is the hardest because the same way you treated the boy child is not the same you treated the girl child.

Children learn easier and faster from their parents. Parents are the first role model to their kids. Caring and teaching these kids the right things to do and the right part to follow is very crucial so that they don't get misled by their friends. Education can be given to a child but that parental love and guardian is needed for them not to go astray.

The kind of parents we have lately are just physically built, but the mind hasn't been transformed into maturity. Some parents are too strict, the children can't stay close to their parents for long, parents who will alway command respect even when the atmosphere needs to be soft.

Another issue is the high rate of divorce cases, which is a big disadvantage to a child's life, growing up without one or two parents that are divided, if care isn't taken, whichever parent presents themselves to be better, the child is forced to take sides. Parent is supposed to be a combination of both the man and woman, if one is missing is a case of concern that will affect the child.

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.

I was privileged that my parents around me at all times while growing. My father worked as a civil servant, who closed from work by 4 pm every day. He would spend the rest time at home. My mother was always at home because she owned a business that was close to our home. We never lacked anything because my father's earnings were enough to provide all we needed.

Inflation has destroyed the purchasing power of most currencies. It is now difficult to sustain a family with a single job. As a family breadwinner, one would have to work so hard that one might not have time to spend with your children.

I don't blame some of these parents who have transferred their child-raising tasks to the teachers and caregivers. They have to look for diffrent ways to survive. Nevertheless it is imortant to make out time to spend with your children. If you give them financial support without moally developing them, it might turn out to be a waste of resources.       

[Accardo]

the shift from the single-income household of the past to the dual-income struggle of 2025 is the biggest hidden tax on our kids, back in the day a civil servant could feed a family and be home for dinner but now you need three side hustles just to pay for the daycare that is raising your child for you, it is a systemic failure that makes "good parenting" a luxury for the rich xd

Talking of daycare, the environment isn't conducive for kids either, staffs could transfer aggression on someone's kid, which effect would affect the child emotionally. The world should be this way, mother and father, should be capable to sustain the family from home. Nobody leaves the house to spend 10 hours in a work place. There are times kids would wish for the hug of their parents but won't get any, maybe they get to see that of a stranger making them more uncomfortable.
