Are parents best teacher9

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 do 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.
