It is a quite difficult question to rate the way that my parents brought me up because in rating them I rate myself. If I say that my parents brought me up perfectly, I say that I am an ideal grown-up who is well-mannered. In this case I would say that I always know what to do and I always do it in good time. Of course it would not be a true way to declare myself. But if I say that my parents brought me up badly, so I would be saying that I am a badly brought up adult then.
So all things considered I can maintain that I am an average well-mannered young person.
We talked a lot about this problem with my parents and we discussed how we could have done things differently. I feel we agree on the basic questions, on essentials.
I owe a lot to my parents. They always listened to me and made me feel like and independent person who may have different tastes and opinions from theirs. They spent a lot of time with me and never misled me. They tried to teach me to be strong and get ahead and make my way in life without asking for any help.
Of course I can see their mistakes because I recognized them, to my cost. For instance I did not receive enough encouragement from them and they never wanted to stimulate me to do better at school. They were always satisfied with me and my results.
They never took me to visit other families and other children because they did not have any friends.
I had never played with other children of the same age before nursery school and that is why in the nursery school I followed the nursery school mistress instead of making friends with the children.
Criticizing my parents is an easy thing to do but I may make the same mistakes when I am a parent. I do not know whether I will make a good one or not because it might turn out than my children would be asked the same questions. It will take years before my children can answer these questions. I am nineteen years old now and I do not want to have a baby during the next five years. Of course I have some ideas of bringing up a baby, but they are always changing.
First I think nursing a baby starts not with the birth but before it, when a women notices that she is going to have a baby. I would like to plan for this moment, not only become pregnant by chance. I would like to have a job to earn enough money to live on in comfortable circumstances and to have the financial means to buy all that the baby needs.
Then I have to take the doctor's advice in dieting, do the recommended exercises, and other things. These conditions (financial needs, diet) are essential before the baby' s birth but it is a substantial part of nursing, because these are conditions of having a mentally and physically healthy child.
The real bringing up starts at the moment of birth. In the early time (zero - three years old) the most important thing is the close contact between the mother and the little baby. It is important to talk to the little baby from the beginning, for example while feeding her. She does not understand our words but she gets used to being listened to and she will soon smile at us. If this contact develops during the first years it will help a lot when the first problems appear.
These first problems appear in nursery school and in primary school. Nursery school is the first real place for the baby to pass out from the familiar surroundings. She is alone and separated from her mother. We have to help the child to prepare for nursery. I will try to do this by a gradual increase in the hours she has to spend in nursery school. First I will leave her there only for four hours because I would like her to be accustomed to being among children. I do not like her to be bored at home and then suffer from the lack of adopting herself to new surroundings. At the same time she will know that I will always arrive at the nursery on time in order to bring her home. So she will not be afraid of being left in the nursery for ever. I will always listen to her when she talks about what happen to her and what she does in the nursery school. I will never tell her to go away because I have not got time for her, because she may not want to tell about it later.
If it could be done I believe it would help us (the parents and the baby) to overcome difficulties in school.
School is the place where most children are or can be hurt. She arrives at a new place with new faces around her and in addition, she has got duties which she did not have before. She has to feel that we will assist, and we are always besides her whatever she does.
I would like to do common programmes with her, for example we will walk an hour every day together. I would enjoy providing every possibility for her to talk about her problems and give her opinion. She will choose her school-bag and the cloth she wears because I would like her to feel that she is important and has got a chance to decide. I will always encourage and praise her for doing anything well because I would like her to become self-confident adult.
I would never tell her a lie. Telling lies to a child poisons everything. Standing in front of the hospital I will never say that taking a blood-test will not cause any pain. I will say that it gives a little pain and she has to stand it because she is old enough.
I reckon that if we deal with a child as an equal from the first time than, she will become a teenager who shares her problems with us. I would enjoy becoming a good parent. I will accept and like her with her faults and I hope it will be enough. Perhaps I will not be worse than the others. I will not make a perfect parent but I will try to be a good one.

The child is father of the man. As the saying suggests the experiences of childhood determine a person's character as an adult. A child is a small human being who needs 15-20 years to become a parent good enough to provide his or her own child with the essential advice and help for life. Parents teach their children with the aim to make them able to begin their own life. The question is what way should it happen. Whether it is better to fill their cerebral convolutions up with dry facts in two hours five times a week and hope that the next Einstein is going to enhance the family's reputation, or we had better give thanks that our offspring is given a happy childhood in today's rather neurotic world.
The Better Baby Institute founded in America implies the first one. Where else could this idea find more fans if not in the 'Land of Dreams' where everything is possible even producing an unsurpassable genius from our child by following the 89 instructions of Mr Glenn Doman, who guarantees satisfaction in return for $490. It has been left out from the 'recepee' that every child has a different character so they probably also need a different treatment. It would be against nature to force a child to do something it is not comfortable with. The only truth in the article is that an average child is capable of attaining much more information than a well-educated adult, but yet at the school it becomes clear what its real fields of interests are. A child who is superb at all subjects, either has a high IQ-rate or has a botched up childhood of not having enough time to relax because of learning constantly. Parents cannot multiply their child's intelligence by overwhelming them with data. A child is not a speciman copy to amaze the neighbours. Children have their own inside world and the main task of parents is to show them the way how to find happiness and satisfaction in life. A child is innately innocent and naive trying to imitate the adult's life and behaviour. Children believe everything they hear and see is true and it depends merely on us what they will turn out to be in their adulthood. We have to look after them with responsibility for their future being prepared to answer all their questions and showing our love so that they could feel secure. Children often find themselves in situations which they need to understand to become gradually mature.
Everybody of us is contuniously seeking the aim of our life and children are the same. Parents have to take time to explain them the unknown parts of life to strengthen their self-confidence so to be able to come to deceisons in certain situations later when being on their own. There must be a trustful relationship between the child and the tutor to give the child the feeling that its problems and mixed up feelings from the events happening around can find solution and that later he or she will be able to overcome the difficulties coming in way.That should be the way of preparing them for independent life.
A very sad characteristic of our age is the disappearing of real fairytales and bed-time stories. Instead of that kids are playing with Barbie-dolls dressed in tiny posh evening dresses what absolutely distorts their sense of reality. They are stuck to computer games all day long growing up not being able to distinguish a horse from a cow. Apart from parents it is exactly the fairytales that can give the child solution for their problems. It has been the entire task of fairytales ever since they exist. Today, as well as in the old times, they could teach both talented and average children to recognize the higher values of life, they can show what experiences a child needs to have its character improved. Fairytales suggest that anybody can reach a happy full life but only on condition that one does not run away from difficulties because the way to a real personality leads through learning. Bedtime stories should take a great part in children's education and parents should put emphasis on providing them with story books and discussing the moral of them with their children.
There was no need for a 'hyper-super' toy for Mozart to become a genius, if somebody gets the right amount of stimuli and has the essential gene group, it will probably show its effect. It is naturally given to our world that the relation between people with high IQ and people less clever is in balance. We cannot expect everybody to give a performance above average because the results might not satisfy us. Let's take look at the suicide level of the Japanese students. Parents rushing their children into studies often do not even relize to what degree they burden their children.

Family structures represent the basic units of society. They have existed for thousands of years , which proves that they are needed. This kind of social institution is built on love and understanding . It provides its members with a feeling of safety which is essential in life. A family's main function is to give the child all he needs and bring him up under the best conditions possible. Any problem in the family organization might cause serious defects in the child's or in other words , in the future generation's development. The question is whether families can properly function close to the end of the twentieth century.
The advancement of science and technology parallel with the social movements brought about many changes in this century. In all highly developed societies a so called high rise life has emerged . It is a lifestyle which is centred almost only around working and earning money and allows practically no free time for anything else. Let me describe only those features of high rise life which are strongly related to family build - up. First of all, as I have already suggested everything have become much more money oriented. Life’s speed has accelerated. In order to keep up with the rat race one has to work harder than before, which among many other things results in less time with the family. Unlike in the previous centuries most women have to work instead of looking after the family members. Children are very often left alone and do not get the care and attention they long for. So lifestyle has been changing in such a way that the existence of the tradditional family pattern seems to be threatened. The main victim of this process is the child himself.
Childhood is a very special phase in life. During this period the child needs guidance ,caring and a lot of time with those whom he loves. It is during these formative years that he gets to know the world around him. He is exposed to a lot of influences which should be controlled by his parents so that he can learn the most out of them.
Today in an average family both parents work, usually from early early morning till late afternoon. This is why the small child is placed at a kindergarten for most of the day. By the time he is taken home he has got many things to tell his parents about. However, the parents often turn out to be too exhausted to listen. Yet, the child is promised that the following day will be spent by talking and playing. Next day the child becomes very disappointed when he realizes that his parents broke their promise. He cannot understand why. The parents, who love their child ,try to make up the lost time by giving him beautiful toys. Nevertheless , the child deep inside is not satisfied because for him nothing can substitute the parents' presence and love.
A child at a school age comprehends the events at home differently. He realizes that his parents cannot deal with him enough - of course the reader should think of a normal , average family here as well- , because they are too much occupied with their work. He feels very sorry for it.
The children's reaction in this situation has various forms. Fortunately, a high number of children make friends easily and in this way they find a substitution for the love they miss and can easily overcome their feeling of loneliness. In another group of children a very bad feeling might emerge. This feeling tells them, that nobody deals with them at home because they are not good enough for that. As a consequence they do not socialize in school either and they gradually become isolated. Isolation of this type has got different stages. If it is not so serious, then the child can easily get over his feeling of uselessnes and soon finds somebody he can confide in and can play with. A third type of children might decide to concentrate on school marks to satisfy the parents and to gain their attention. On the surface this reaction seems harmless. However, by this behaviour the child might put himself under very big pressure which is produced by the fear of failing. This often happens when the child convinces himself that he is no good , unless he is excellent in school. Of course this fear can be induced by the parents too, if they force the child to produce good results when the child has not got the ability for it.
Isolation and the constant fear of not getting good grades are the too main factors thet can cause serious defects in a child's thinking. Both conditions force him to act in a way which is unusual and strange at his age. In isolation he has nobody to share his thoughts with , so he has to process everything by himself. Under the exaggerated pressure of school there is not enough time left for him to play and to be himself. In both circumstences the period which is defined as childhood is lost. It is very easy to see that this occurence is a very harmful production of the high rise life.
Besides isolation and loneliness ther is another achivement of this century which strongly affects and easily damages many children's personality. This monster is TV .TV became a widely used baby- sitter .Mothers who cannot devote enough time to their children often make their kids sit in front of the TV regardless of the programm. Spectacles of sadism and violence surely do no good to children . These films only teach them how to be aggressive. In front of the TV children experience a lot of things which they should meet only much later.
Of course a child's development is affected by another great number of things which are not mentioned here. I only tried to concentrate on those which are characteristic and new in this era. Of course one must not forget , thet it would not be normal either , if the child got no bad or strange influence from the outside world.
Unfortunately, as papers suggest the figures of juvenile crime and childhood suicide have soared. It indicates that there is a serious deformation in the process of bringing up children. The key problem is that children are expected to behave more mature than they are at their certain age. Too much pressure is put on them both from the school and from the "rushing" family life, and it is made very hard to bear without strong links with the ones the child loves. It has to be emphasized all over again how much traditional family structures are still needed. Without their real support a both mentally and physically healthy generation cannot be brought up.
It seems that generally family institutions cannot carry out their duties today. For their main function would be to give love by hugs and kisses and not only by material possesions. Of course on an average it is not really the parents' fault. They themselves are forced into the lifestyle mankind has created for itself. Close to the end of the twentieth century many people have become too much subjected to jobs and money and as a consequence tend to overlook other very important aspects of life like that of a real , functioning family. Without this old social institution it is the future generation that is done harm to. Without proper family background children will not be able to lead a "healthy" way of life when they become adults. Their life will lack the basic needs of humanity which are love and understanding. Their society will be like of robots or computers. In order to prevent the human race from becoming a society of neatly dressed human machines much more attention should be paid on the still existant families. A thorough examination should be conducted into the problems these social institutions face today and solutions should be found pretty soon. Otherwise the human race is not going to survive for too long.

Ask a child, it will tell you that being an adult is much easier thus it is the least difficult thing in the world to tell the others what to do. A parent's answer would be: "I wish I could be a child again. I have never been so carefree as I was in my childhood."
Why are these answers so obvious? Why do children want to become adults and what changes, that as soon as they are grown-ups they would prefer to turn the time back?
Maybe we can answer these questions by having a closer look at childhood, parenthood and their relation to each other.
In my opinion childhood can be devided into three main periods. Children under the age of 13-14 accept everything they are told by their parents. Little ones take their parents' behaviour as an example to be followed. Everything which is said to be nice, ugly, useful or useless by a mother is nice, ugly, useful or useless in her child's eyes. This is very natural and so are the changes that occur around the age of 14. This is the time when teenagers start to observe everything with critical eyes and do not take everything for granted. They start to deny things said or done by their parents. They rebel and the main target of their rebellion is the parent whose only aim is to educate. Children want to break down the borders set up by the adults, they long for more freedom to be able to act the way they like. Parents become enemies in their eyes as in many cases a mother's and her daughter's opinions, interests are in contradiction with each other. (outward appearance, going out in the evenings...etc).
Another interesting change occurs in connection with children's ideals. While in the first period parents are the only examples to be followed in the second period teenagers gradually turn away from the ancestors and look for ideals among older friends, famous personalities like pop stars, actors, politicians. This way stimulis coming from outside of the family obtains more significance in the child's education.
The third period starts when the time of unsatisfaction is over. Children are more or less capable of true judgement. They form their own opinion about their education analysing the parents' "work". They decide which of the acquired values are worth maintaining and which not. This way children also form their own ideal way of bringing up a child. Getting closer to adulthood they realize some of the difficulties that grown-ups face.
Here I come back to the main question and the answers I wrote above.
Children of the first two periods (mainly of the second) would like to become adults thus they can gain independence and power. With these two words we can describe what being adult means for them. It happens only later that a child discovers it is something more than having power over the children - it is responsibility also. A mother or a father is responsible for a minor (or more) from the moment a new life (springing from them) appears on the earth . This means they got the status of a parent. They have the possibility moreover the duty to form a new individual. The child is something like a piece of clay which the parents have to work on. This process is either conscious or not.
Behind a conscious education we can observe a kind of analysing attitude with which the future parent approaches the education he gained. The acquired values get great stress in this case thus these constitute the basis of forming a new parental conduct. Certain patterns considered to be useful will be elements of his attitude, others will be neglected.
Everything we experience during our childhood is going to have a great effect on our parential life. This explains the responsibility parents have to take on.
There are many negative and positive values that can be or should be assured in educating a child. These values determine the character of the individual. It is quite obvious that negative values will result in negative conduct and it is the same with the positive ones.
The problem is that for different people the appreciation of values is not the same. Certain values are misinterpreted and ill-used and these are reflected in children's education as well.
Our generation is often condemned, the youth of today is accused of having no real values. Is it only our fault?
I wonder what the former generation would do differently if they had the chance to regain their childhood.
