Some people say that parents have the most important role in a child’s development. However, others argue that other things like television or friends have the most significant influence.

Undoubtedly, 1children under twelvechildren below twelve years use different sources for learning. 2These learning sources include their parents, electronic media, toys, surroundings, or their peers to learn new information about everything. Some individuals believe that parents are the 3best influences on children’s developmentbest choices for increasing children’s capabilities; however, others, 4includingincluded myself, believe that their growth can be more influenced by other practical factors. On the one hand, those who believe that 5parents’ role has more influence on children’s developmentparents’ role is more influential for children’s development have their own reasons. One is that they are more reliable. Children 6have a stronger bondhave a better bonding with their parents 7than with their friends or even their teachersthan their friends or even teachers because they spend more time with their parents than any other individual. As a prime example, a toddler can develop his speech better when he copies his mother’s 8wordsword and his mother 9is the only reliable person who has provided sufficient care and supervisionhas been the only reliable person who has had sufficient care and supervision. Another reason is that parents are usually more familiar with their 10children’s moods and behaviouroffspring’s mood and behaviours. They are the first ones who can 11identify their children’s psychological problemsfind their children’s personality problems 12because they have spent more time with themdue to longer time they have been spending with them. 13For instance, a mother is able to detect better his child’s depression symptoms than even any other professionals. On the other hand, parents’ knowledge might not be enough for the upbringing of their children, and I believe that friends or television 14playhave more pivotal roles. The first reason behind it is that 15children’stheir friends are considerably more up-to-date than their parents. Clearly, 16with the development of technologydeveloping of technology, each generation has 17access to more current information than their parentsmore valuable information than parents. In particular, 18if adolescents had not had enough social interactionhad not adolescents had enough social communication with their classmates, they would not have become familiar with latest versions of social networks and would have become more isolated. In addition, watching scientific programmes, they will be able to upgrade their information about the latest educational findings than when they just rely on their parents’ training. 19For example, to learn the English language, there are plenty of precious video clips on YouTube that perfect instructors teach grammar, vocabulary or speaking, which are extremely useful for all viewers, including children. In conclusion, although some people may agree that parents can be 20better sources of guidance for their children’s developmentbetter origins for growing of their children, I personally think that 21the role of media and children’s classmatesthe role of medium and their classmates could be more 22influentialimpressive.
