tokens: Parents are the best teachers because they are more special than everybody else I completely agree that parents are the best teacher . Children normally think that their parents are somehow special and that makes them the most important people in the children’s lives . Firstly, the things that parents say have great power to their child . More power than any friend or other adult could have . For example, if someone tells a kid that something is wrong and they shouldn't do it, but his father told him/her that it was right, the kid will listen to the father instead of the other person, even if his father is wrong . Secondly, a child normally spends more time with their parents than with other people, so their parents have more time to teach him/her than anybody else . They have more contact and more intimacy with their children . Lastly, children usually mirror themselves on their parents . That’s as important thing because even if the parents don’t intend to teach their children something, they are always observing and learning by themselves . So, if there is a man that beats his wife and treats her bad, his child probably is going to be rude and treat girls bad . All in all, I agree that parents are the greatest teachers and I think that they should be very careful with what they say and do in front of their child, because it can define who he is going to be .
