Question

Examples of parents teaching their children directly?

Answer 1

---> Parents greatly affect their children’s behavior. Children are like sponges--they model everything a parent does and incorporate what they see into their own lives. It is important that parents set the right examples for their children. Negative examples can be detrimental to a child’s development and can lead to bad behavior. Parents can teach their children directly or indirectly in various ways. Parents may directly teach their children skills, rules and strategies and explicitly inform or advise them on various issues. Parents provide indirect socialization through their own behavior with and around their their children. Example: In everyday actions, parents unintentionally demonstrate skills, communicate information and rules and model attitudes and behaviors towards others. Parents manage their children's experiences and social lives, including their exposure to various people, activities and information, especially when children are young. Example: The child's daily experience with peers and adult caregivers will likely differ dramatically from of children whose daily care is provided at home.
