I agree that parents are the best teachers. In this essay we will see how parents are the best teachers.

It is the environment that gives shape to any personality. Hence every newly born baby sees the surrounding where one opens the eyes. Child listens to what is spoken in the house and child imitates all what he or she perceives from the environment. Quite obvious the builders of any such environment are the parents. If parents in a house are very loving, caring, soft spoken, non smokers, and teetotaler and disciplined, child learns to imitate and reproduce good things. Conversely if parents are smokers, drinkers, quarrelsome, using offensive language and undisciplined, child would learn bad things like smoking, drinking, quarreling, abusing etc. and shall imitate and reproduce those behaviors. Parents are the one with whom children spend majority of time and hence parents are the real character builders of their children.

As per theory of Human Psychology, whatever a child sees, experiences, hears, and speaks and feels up to the age of five that has everlasting and life long impression in the mind of a child. If all those impressions are healthy and good child turns out to be a good personality or else the other way.

In a nutshell, after the preliminary fundamentally sound education in home when the child goes to school one performs well and progresses consistently. In the later years of a child’s education, parents must devote some time for their children to educate them. This shall have a very positive impact on the tender minds of the children and they will perform well. Needless to say “Parents Are the Best Teachers”.
