In what contexts can parents be blamed for their children's failures or take credit for their success?
Upbringing plays a really huge role in deciding the character and personality of an individual.
It is the formative years which decide and shape the future of a person.
For example, if a child is brought up by parents or guardians who are strict disciplinarians, then the child will grow up in a military type environment and also tend to influence others with that mindset.
If a person is brought up by parents who are very lenient, the children will be very open minded and will mingle easily with others.
Why I am stating all this is because it plays a huge role in either success or failure of the child.
I have observed my cousin who was always scolded and ordered about by my uncle. in his growing up years, he was always ridiculed by his own dad and siblings. He was not able to perform well in his studies due to lack of confidence and hence dropped off.
He did start a small business and married a kind girl, thankfully but I always think about how his life would have been had he not been treated badly by his own family. to an extent, he was not able to be a success because of this factor.
A parent should never compare a child with other children.
A parent should never ridicule the child.
The children should not be blamed for every single mistake or setback by the elders.
Every day is a new start, so never discourage children from doing what they like and last but not the least do not decide what the child wants to do.
Many parents in my country decide that their children should opt for either engineering or medicine. They never ask the child what they want to study and if suppose the child says, photography or art, then all hell is let loose. As a result, the number of unemployed professionals is increasing by the day.
The child should be given a certain amount of freedom to choose what they want to be. let them choose and follow their passion and they will be successful if they follow it wholeheartedly.
Great answer. It's all in the balance
Children have a chance always to proof that parents are responsible for their failure. However parents almost gives right opinion. Sometimes children become successful on his plan or idea but if fail then fall NEAR parents only.
