Many times when children make a mistake,starting with breaking a window while playing football or
skipping classes and ending with stealing something of fighting with another child,parents are always
blamed by the society for not having known how to educate their offspring(后代).The situation is not that
easy to explain.
Parents always look for the best interest of their children and many times they are ready to take
measures only for their sake.They know their children are suffering when they are obliged to stay indoors
or when they have no money,but they have to teach them a lesson so that they won't repeat the same
mistakes over and over again.When a child realizes that his father is talking seriously about him not being
allowed to do something, he understands the gravity(严重性) of his deeds and he knows he will think
twice before making the same mistake again.
These are the cases of the responsible parents,who suffer when they see that their children are not
happy but who resist the temptation of forgiving them so easily so that they realize the gravity of their
actions not only at present but also for the future.
On the other hand there are parents who always find excuses for their children's behavior,who never
consider they make mistakes or if they just do what they call"childish"things lacking importance.
When you buy your children everything he won't take into consideration anything of what you are telling
him later on.He will get to the point when he steals from the house or from a shop so that he can afford to
buy cigarettes or drugs.
