Educating children is a school matter, and parents are only responsible for their children's food and clothing. Is that so?
Some parents think: "Educating children is a school matter, and parents' responsibility is to let their children eat and wear warm clothes and try their best to meet their material needs." "Now the child is still young, it doesn't matter if there is a small problem. He will be fine when he grows up. Under the control of this idea, some parents only pay attention to their children's material needs, but pay insufficient attention to their education. The author believes that this approach is biased. First of all, it is the responsibility of parents to educate their children. From an ethical point of view, parents should raise and educate their children. Legally speaking, educating children is the legal obligation of parents. Therefore, after giving birth to a child, parents should not only raise, but also bear the responsibility of education. Secondly, raising without teaching is not conducive to the growth of children. As parents of children, if they want their children to grow up healthily and become useful people in the future, then they can't just provide them with food, clothing, shelter and warmth. As we all know, educating children is as important as providing them with warmth of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Practice has proved that many children's future success is inseparable from early family education. Thirdly, if parents let their children's bad behavior go unchecked, over time, they will let their children develop a bad habit, and once they have a bad habit, they will easily go astray. It will be too late for parents to regret it. It is in this sense that "it is the father's fault to raise and not teach." It can be seen that it is not advisable for parents to pay more attention to their children than to their education. On this issue, parents should not only pay attention to the upbringing of their children, but also pay attention to the education of their children, and the two should not be neglected. This is a wise move. On the one hand, parents should care about their children's daily life, provide necessary material conditions for their children's study and life, and ensure that their children have enough to eat, wear warm clothes and have a good rest. On the other hand, parents should attach importance to their children's education and earnestly shoulder the responsibility of the first teacher. First, learn the knowledge and methods about family education, and carry out targeted knowledge education for children according to the laws of family education and the characteristics of children, so as to develop their intelligence. Second, we should attach importance to children's ideological and moral education. Usually, we should always tell our children some principles of being a man and put forward strict requirements for their moral character. When children show signs of bad behavior, parents should give criticism and education in time and not let themselves go. Third, as a child's first teacher, set an example. In the daily life of the family, always set an example and be a role model for children.
