Obviously, the first teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our
parents. They teach us to walk, to speak, and to have good manners before we
reach “the real world. ” More than even the professional teachers that we have
at school, parents are generally the most involved in the development and
education of children.
Almost for sure our parents are the best teachers at the beginning of our
lives, which actually corresponds to the parents' role in nature. Parents are
most committed and involved in teaching their children; they have a kind of
instinct to sacrifice a part of themselves for the betterment of their children.
They love us and have great patience while passing down their knowledge to us.
They wish us a success and thus will not teach us bad things. And of course,
implicit learning occurs when children unconsciously copy some of their parents'
habits and styles of behavior.
During the second stage of child development, adolescence, parents can
still be in the best position to offer advice even though the children might not
accept it. In this case, perhaps the child's friends would be the best teachers.
Adolescents are notoriously rebellious in many cultures and may automatically
reject any advice from their parents. My first marriage for instance, was solely
a matter of doing the opposite when my parents tried to intrude in offering
their advice. So in such matters, parents should be much more flexible and be
rather the partners with their children. So we can see that being a teacher of
growing child become more and more complicated case as the time passes and many
parents are simply not able to meet the increased demands. On the other hand, I
would say that parents are not professional teachers and they tend to be very
biased by their love of their children. So wishing good things and an easy life
may prevent children from maturation. In any case, parents usually can present
only one viewpoint of the world, while good teaching should be based on
different attitudes. Thus, when children go to school and have a great diversity
of teachers, they learn much more than their parents could probably give them.
Furthermore, once our parents get older, they become more conservative and
cannot always be objective in regard to modern trends and fashions. Thus we need
to take their advice with caution during that period. However, some kind of
intuition that I believe shared between relatives about what everybody needs and
great love that exists in families still makes our parents very good teachers
and advisers at any time.
In conclusion, while parents are not the ideal teachers, and well-rounded
children will generally need a great diversity of teachers in their lives in
order to have a more accurate view of the world, parents are generally the most
committed of all teachers and have the greatest emotional investment in their
children and their future.

Parents are the most committed, the most influential, and almost the best
teachers any child can have. The amount of time a child interacts with parents
makes them the most influential force in a child's life. The child gets to learn
the most basics of things like walking, speaking and interacting with others. It
is under the protections of parents that a child learns to behave in society and
to comfort him or herself.
Although parents are the most influential teachers in their children's
life, they may not be regarded as the best teachers. Parents generally provide a
biased view of the world; they always favor their child, and thus they cannot
provide a complete panoramic view of the society. Also parents may set a bad
example for their child by abusing and fighting amongst themselves.
Psychologists and recent crime charts have proved that young outlaws generally
come from disrespectful families, and have grown up in extreme environments.
A child interacts with many kinds of teachers at schools and colleges.
Although these teachers, being professionals, have limited time to devote to a
child, they provide a complete and diverse view to their students. They provide
unbiased guidance to a child.
During the years of adolescence, children tend to be aggressive and
non-conforming to others' views. So parents need to act like friends rather than
teachers. Eventually, it is the parents who provide an environment for a child
to develop and mature, and thus have the capacity to be the best teachers to
their child. What is important is to provide an unbiased view to their child, to
motivate independent thinking and actuate timely maturation.

Our entire education system is based on what we accumulate each day of our
life. In spite of the fact that school teachers are those who give us lots of
information in a variety of fields, our parents are still the best teachers;
they start their educational process as soon as we were born and never stop
teaching us. In the initial years of our life, our parents are involved in
guiding us, in modulating our personality and making us understand the
differences between right and wrong. When I was five, my parents bought me a
dog; they taught me how to take care of him, feed him, play with him and bath
him. Thus, I learned that we all have responsibilities.
Even if parents are not specialized in education, their role in teaching
the children to be aware of the need of improving their knowledge at school is
tremendous. Our parents are not supposed to teach us Math, Chemistry or Biology,
but they are very much involved in giving us lessons about being independent,
strong and confident in ourselves. As my mother said to me, "fight your own
battles because I will not be always able to protect you." Teenagers have to be
informed about all the negative effects that can occur if using drugs, drinking
alcohol, or smoking. Regarding this issue, parents have to cooperate with school
teachers to make children aware of those possible risks.
I believe that parents are the best teachers because their lessons last
forever. My parents are old now. Even when I am a grown up person, I consider
that they can still give me very good advices when I need them, based on their
life experience. My parents have the most important roll in my education during
my life and I will always be grateful for everything they have taught me.
