The Importance of Parent-child Relation

杜倩

The study points out parents can take some key steps to raise children well. So， the parent-child relation is very important.

Parents bring warmth to childrens lives. They usually shower kids with talk and touch. As a child grows older， he finds warmth in the parent-child relation in other ways. Warmth can lead children to do very well in all the fields.

In fact， parents are the childrens examples. They can teach children not to depend on parents or others. They are also very strict with children. Thats to say， children must do as parents tell. Setting limits can help children focus on the work. For example， limiting television time can help them finish homework on time.

From early childhood， the home becomes a school. And the dinner table might become the desk after dinner. Parents can educate their children much if the parent-child relation is strong. For example， reading books to them will improve their language skill， playing games with them will improve their action skill and finishing puzzles with them will improve their cognitive skill.

Mom and dad play different roles in the child. Moms are their life teachers. They teach children not to be afraid of new environments. They also spend time on simple and funny activities with children. Dads are their growing teachers. Experts think fathers play an important role in childrens feelings and development. Father-child relation always helps children learn to express and control their feelings.
