Explanation
The qualities of the child will come from the quality of relationship with its family. Family is also beneficial for the children's self-confidence. Growing up in a stable and smooth environment gives the child the ability to fight with difficulties and face the world without worry. A strong connection with the family makes the child sociable and leads to more happiness and comfort in life. Living in a family mother role is more important than a father role. The mother always is more careful about the children. Children will learn the ethics of life from their mothers and mother will set the base to learn other aspects of life in children. Mother has more capacity to tolerate the mistakes of children and she will always forgive the mistakes. The mother will teach the lesson by forgiving the child's lessons. On the other hand, fathers, the reaction can be sometimes harsh and he will be stricter. The strictness is also needed for children in the early days which does not mean to beat the child on his mistakes. The strictness should be implemented when the company of the children is bad. The family should restrict their children to go out and join the bad companies.
Importance of families and the home environment article written by the author Angelica Bonci, in her article he explains the importance of the home environment in children's life. She states that the parent's involvement in child life will positively affect the children's academic performance and care of family will make them stronger to mark good names in their professions. The family environment is more crucial than the school environment for achieving success in life for children.
The question arises what is basic need of the children the home environment or school environment?
The children need the environment of home more than the school environment because children learn the ethics of life from the parents which leads to good behavior in schools and professions. The parents should be supportive and they must learn to love children and neglect their mistakes to maintain good family environment for them.
Family involvement at school
Symons found that family involvement at school is the greatest factor in the success of children at schools. The mothers who are less educated will involve more with the school. She will ask the performance of the child on a daily basis. Research proves that family who involved more at school leads to better performance of children at every phase of the study.
Parental education skills and attitudes
Parental education skills and attitudes matter a lot in children's life. If the parents are educated then the child will learn quickly the basic needs of life. Educated parents always give instructions to their child and maintain a comfortable environment for the child. Parent's level of education correlates with the development of the child from age 12 to age 27. And reports said educated parents provide a better environment to the child than parents who are not educated. Educated parents’ guide the children to pick their ambition in life. Parent's attitudes and aspirations play an important role in the development of the child and it will lead to successful achievement in life.
Effective parental involvement
Before school, the children must be prepared in the home environment to live happily. The parent's involvement is very important. Parents should treat the children politely and they should develop skills in children at an early age. Parents follow some instructions like start reading books with children, visiting the library, teaching the alphabet and numbers, creating opportunities for children friends to spend time with him in house. These factors are associated with the performance and scores of children. They will develop behavioral senses at an early age.
Family life
A proper family environment leads to the successful career of the child. When children are growing and comes to college life, parents should never impose unnecessary preventions. The parents must give them space to learn the most important phase of life. The college phase of the children is very crucial and, in that stage, unnecessary strictness leads to poor results. Never try to stop children from hanging out and playing with friends. However, you can keep an eye on his activities.
According to an article by Rev. Saude, a cross-sectional study comprising of 350 children aged 17 to 42 was carried out in central areas of Brazil in 1999. The socio-economic questions were asked by each of the children. The questionnaire process is considered for the home observation for measurement of environment scale. The results were positive which shows that the children who lived with an educated mother had a more suitable environment and they learned the early lesson of life from the mothers. Children who don’t spend the early years with the family are not well maintained according to the interviews and questionnaires. It was found that 94 percent of children with positive habits developed these things by living with their mothers. And the attitude of an educated mother is very important. The cognitive performance score was 96.3 for those who were assessed to provide a better environment in home-based schools and their parents avoid punishments behavior.
Conclusion
The quality of the stimulation in the family environment is crucial for the children. It develops a strong relationship between children with the family.
Personal experience and observations
If I talk about my personal experience the environment given by my family is pretty cool. I learned the ethics of my life in the early days. My parents always tried to focus on my abilities. Sometimes the experience can also be bad when you see the fighting’s in the family. Parents often fight with each other which is the most destructive thing to provide a bad environment to the child. My parents always try to avoid the fighting’s. The environment I got was very impactful and I was loved at every stage of life. My parents provided me everything. They make different plans to go out for a picnic with siblings. Once a week, the outings are arranged. They taught me to behave well with others and the most important lesson I learned is that if you want to be respected then give respect to others.
My personal observations claim that children learn ethics from the home and the way he is treated in a home environment leads to abilities to fight the world. I have observed that parents who never impose unnecessary restrictions on children are more successful in providing a good environment for the child. Scientifically it is proved that parents who are harsher and ruder will reproduce the children who have a harsh attitude. The genes are transferred to the children and child adopts the habits of their parents. So being calm and polite is the best way to provide a suitable environment for the children.
