Parenting is not easy at all,putting food on the table and making sure children are on the right path. I have seen so many parents who think providing food is enough and they forget to advice their children on various issues and the result is not pleasing. Do you think parents have failed?

Again I think you missed the place this topic friend.

On your text, I think that children are mirrors of parents or people who create, that is, if you take a good eduação sure this child will grow a good adult to society

People will raise their kids any way they want, many times, they don't like people telling them what to do. Example with my neighbor she has a lot of kids, but she is never home, her husband is gone a lot the kids run themself, they look for food and companionship from the neighbors

My other neighbor went on vacation, left the 13 year old home for 2 months he is scared being there alone, and his brothers don't come by much, if he needs something he will come here to ask until the parents come back.

I would never leave a 13 year old home alone for 2 months , nor would I leave little ones home to tend to them self . So bottom line parents all do things differently, kids pretty much running things things alone in the home.

I have two children, one is a nightmare and the other a wonderful individual but they were both raised the same way. You can't really generalise on this because some children will turn out bad despite the fact they had guidance and great opportunities. Others might have a horrible upbringing but do well in life. It's the old Nature v Nuture question and there are no cut and dried answers.

Hi Friends,

It is happened in the families both the wife and husband are employed they does not have enough time to advice their children. They think that if they provide food, cloths and shelter is enough for them, but without proper care it is difficult to grow the children the children does not know what is good and what is bad. There may be lot of chances to loose control over the children in future. So much care to be given to the children to grow properly

Yes They are parents out there that do fail thier childern or set them up for failure. These parents don't care for thier childern some of them neglect thier childern. Some of them don't even try to teach thier childern nothing and treat thier childern like thier animals. Then they wonder why there childern grow up and become absoulte failures to socitity and they think its not thier fault. When they really are to blame beacuse they never took the time or paitence to try to teach thier childern or weren't even thier for thier childern. Point is If the parent is not trying to support,provide or tech thier childern basic common knowledege and mannners then they are failling thier childern. Parenting is hard and you don't have to be the perfect parent but you should atleast provide the basic nesscities,support you childern emotiuonally and physically,andy ou should teach your childern basic manners and common knowledge example to tie thier shoes and to dress right. To be polite and all those basic customes. If you doing that then your doing find as a parent.

There's no one answer for this question. It's true, there are some clear cases where some parents do neglect their children and don't put in enough effort to nurture their children. But some children come from respectable families, don't want for anything, they are loved and nurtured, yet they grow up to be a nuisance. Although environment plays a vital role in shaping the type of grown up a person will become in the future, some children actually take charge of their fate and grow up to well rounded and well adjusted adults, regardless of their upbringing, good or bad.

There's no way to say whether or not parents in general are failing. Some parents are very good at raising their children, and others are not. There are lots of factors that influence how well parents raise their children. Working in education, I have seen some very good parents and some very bad parents. Kids with good parents have a much easier time learning.
