parents are often blamed for the... of their children ( polite )
Obviously, the earliest teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents, and they are generally the most involved in the development and education of their children. Yet neither are all parents good teachers nor are those good parents the best teachers. First of all, not all parents are good teachers. As normal individuals, some parents more or less have bad habits. Even though parents almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, the outcome might turn out to be disappointment, for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy every thing from their parents. Another deficiency of parents as teachers is the fact that most parents are lack of common senses of education. All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically, if their children did not follow the instructions, the children would be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious.
Rõ ràng, những giáo viên đầu tiên chúng ta có trong cuộc sống của mình trong hầu hết các trường hợp là cha mẹ của chúng ta, và họ thường là những người tham gia nhiều nhất vào sự phát triển và giáo dục con cái của họ. Tuy nhiên, không phải tất cả các bậc cha mẹ giáo viên tốt cũng không phải là những bậc cha mẹ tốt các giáo viên tốt nhất. Trước hết, không phải tất cả phụ huynh đều là giáo viên giỏi. Là những cá nhân bình thường, một số cha mẹ ít nhiều có thói quen xấu. Mặc dù cha mẹ gần như theo bản năng cống hiến mình để nuôi dưỡng con cái của họ, kết quả có thể trở thành thất vọng, cho tất cả trẻ em có xu hướng vô thức hoặc tiềm thức sao chép mọi thứ từ cha mẹ của họ. Một sự thiếu hụt của cha mẹ là giáo viên là một thực tế rằng hầu hết các bậc cha mẹ đang thiếu cảm giác phổ biến của giáo dục. Tất cả chúng ta thường xuyên quan sát một số bậc cha mẹ có xu hướng theo đuổi ước mơ ấp ủ nhưng thất bại của họ bằng cách buộc con cái của họ phát triển theo hướng được sắp xếp trước. Trớ trêu thay, nếu con cái của họ không làm theo các hướng dẫn, trẻ em sẽ được coi là không vâng lời hoặc bị cáo buộc nổi loạn.

Khoảng cách thế hệ
Mọi người hay nói về khoảng cách thế hệ như một sự chia rẽ những người trẻ và cha mẹ họ. Nhìn chung đó là một vấn đề khi trẻ em bước vào độ tuổi thiếu niên, và gây nên than phiền ở cả hai phía. Ví dụ, các bậc phụ huynh hay nói người trẻ tuổi bất kính và không vâng lời, ngoài ra còn tiêu xài vô trách nhiệm vì họ không trân trọng giá trị đồng tiền. Thanh thiếu niên, mặt khác, phàn nàn rằng cha mẹ không hiểu họ.
Vấn đề thực chất là gì? Một lời giải thích nằm ở cách mà xã hội thay đổi. Trong quá khứ, con cái thường chỉ sống theo lối sống của cha mẹ mình. Trong thế giới hiện tại, cha mẹ tham vọng nhiều về con cái của họ vì họ muốn con mình đạt được nhiều hơn những gì mình đã làm được. Vấn đề là con cái không đồng tình với những dự định của cha mẹ. Các thiếu niên cũng trưởng thành ở độ tuổi nhỏ hơn và muốn được tự lập sớm hơn. Mâu thuẫn xảy ra khiến cả hai bên đều chịu buồn phiền.
