I agree with you, it is the role of parents. Education, church, community all can support the process, but parents are ultimately responsible even non of the others mentioned before help. Also, parents have the highest interest in instilling ethics of their children.

Daily proximity to parents are the most opportune times for learning for the child.

The first school is the house

We have to be practical during analysis of a problem. We may consider the following points to understand the problem at a better way.

1.In our childhood, one of our parents (mainly mother) was to some extent free to allot us some time. Father was busy in his service/business etc.

But it is not the condition now. In the urban area of most of the countries, both father and mother of almost every child are very much busy for their carrier, personal engagements etc.

2.Parents feel highest level of affection to a child in comparison to anybody. It is a natural thing. The children always can feel that whether or not they are growing in a mentally secured environment in physical presence of at least any of the parent.

3.There are many alternative arrangements to keep children from the day old stage during day and night time in absence of parents. But in these mechanical arrangements, the professional nurses have to play the role of mother for a huge number of children. Is it possible for her to perform the role of mother of those children together?

4.The psychological bondage between children and parents is created with regular observations and interactions. It cannot be performed without observing each other.

5. The children are kept in hostel afterwards. There is also no scope to feeling of a circle of security made by love and affections of the parents.

6.At that condition, a section of such children may develop some different type of psychological condition which cannot be considered as normal in the society.

7.The problems felt by the children of single mothers, divorced mothers, step mothers and step fathers may be far more.

I don’t ant to advise anybody. We have our own life (both male and female), and we have the right to take any decision about our life. But I just want to bring some problems faced by the children to all parents.

Thanking you all.

Interesting question dear Dr. Iman,

I think most parents want to pass on their values to their children, but the more pressing question is how best to do it? in a globalized society, by new information and communications technologies?

Best wishes

House first

Thank you for your valuable replies. In fact, I feel that bringing up children nowadays requires hard efforts from many sides. It is right that the house is first, but I think even inside the house there are many external factors affecting the process of instilling ethics.

Indubitably, the upbringing of children in the present techno-society has become more difficult than ever before. Parents as title characters are very crucial in the show, but there are many extraneous factors overshadowing the process. As such, there is need for careful planning, education, and cooperation where parents can be assisted by appropriate governmental agencies and specialized educational centers.

I think parents have the main responsibility but the whole community should also partake in the raising of a child by living each day like a child is watching trying to make wise choices every day of life. Know that every decision any member makes can affect a child negetively and positively whether it be your child or not.

Firstly parents then school

Nanny and the environment ... Greetings

Parents should start and continue with the Teachers, Cleric and the Society

Agreed it is the parents, however, some don't have one or both. What happens when both parents are alive, but not there for their children? Then it become a problem for the society and their friends or relatives to deal with.

the mother, specifically... then the father.. followed by the teacher.

Parents first, but see don't take me wrong, if the parent is like Trump and he has adolescent son and adult daughter and sons; and his unethical conduct and deeds are globally known; what is about his adolescent son (specifically the younger one but all his children); how he is dealing with all these things and how much he is effected by these circumstances (my apology, if I am deviated from question but I have these questions in my mind, so, I shared this example).

Most of the ethics are taught to children by their parents within the family setting. Some ethics are acquired from their teachers and friends at school and other ethics from the community around them.

I agree with Nazia Asad

The first teacher ... our professional life begins with her advice, remarks, etc.

The family is generally accepted as the first educational totality, the fundamental cell of social ecology. Differently stated, all other institutions sustain the family’s educational accomplishments or ameliorate its shortcomings in forming the rudiments of morality.

Thank you so much all for your comments, but sometimes I feel depressed because of leaving babies and kids for long hours in front of action movies and unethical programs. Then, we require them to be calm and polite. Therefore, the role of parents is so important to choose the right program to watch, but how do they behave when they are out of their control because of any reason?
