Topic, Position, Audience and Goal

Topic:

Parenting

Position:

Child needs to get to know their parents and all those amazing qualities both good and bad that their parents possess.

Audience:

In this essay the audience are from young to middle-aged adults. Every parent may form their own ideas about raising or parenting their child. For every child both father and mother are their first teacher. From birth to till five years they need lots of love and affection. Every single day is very valuable to enjoy their childhood. Children are quick learner and grows very fast. From five to ten years we find so much changes. So, during that period parents teach them life lessons, discipline, time management and most importantly their mentally and physically growth. They should be physically, emotionally, intellectually and most important spiritually strong. They also need to understand the fear in their parents’ eyes. When the child turns fifteen or above of age, that period will be very much challenging time for the parents. Many of them loose hope during that period. So, parents must be very friendly to their child. Always make them understand to choose their career. Teach them life lesson with great inspiring stories. Spend quality time and give them enough freedom. And always guide them by asking the area of interest. Our main priority as a parent is that we need to teach them to live in every environment, with all kinds of people and adjust to any situation. We should give our children physical comforts but not make them depended on it. They need to learn to remain stable when things don’t go their way or they don’t get that what they are used to, this make the soul powerful.

Goal:

Kids needs to be protected and that’s the job of a parent. They must provide basic needs and protection to their child. They should guide them into the right path because when they will be older, they will not leave right direction of their life which their parent taught them. So, it is our duty to find the right way. Every parent should praise their children and let them know that they are very valuable to us.

Supporting points:

· Make your child a complete well-being, that means a powerful soul, next a healthy body and then a beautiful relationship

· Teach them to live in every environment with all kinds of people and adjust to any situation.

· Don’t give your kids more of physical comforts rather make them emotionally and spiritually stronger than yourself.

This is an information article from the Pew Research Center. In this survey article it shows the roles of both mother and father and how they balance their work and family. In the modern days it is much more challenging jobs to raise the child because both mom and dad must go outside for work. Dads are doing more house work and child care because mom go out for paid work. So, it will not be same as traditional days.
