Assalamualaikum w.b.t. and hello everyone.
Since I have sort of a lot of free time for a few months, I think will keep updating this blog. This is actually my essay that I submitted to my teacher given the topic 'Parenting'. I have this one in my laptop, so I thought I should just post it here. Hehe. Read it and don't forget to give your opinion in the comment section! I would love to read it ;)

The beautiful part of growing up is that you finally
understood what your parents have taught you when you were a kid. I remember
when my mother tried to make me do the house chores, I used to feel very
burdened to do so. As time passed by, I have become a very independent person
and I am very grateful for my mother and what she had taught me. I believe that
development of a child must be the main focus of parenting because what one learn
when he is young is what he will apply when he grow up.
Parents play a very crucial role in their children’s life. Our
young generation is important to our country’s future and they are particularly
moulded by their parents. To have skilful and highly independent generation,
their parents must teach them since they are young. Parents can shower them
with love, but not to the extent of pampering them. They should let their
children feel failure but they need to give unconditional motivation and support
towards their children. By doing so, a child can learn on its own and can
become independent.
Overprotective parents might hinder their children’s
learning ability. It is not a worrisome when the children are still living
their parents, however the after-effect of parenting to the children when they
grow up can be worrying. When the children grow up and have their own family,
they will find it difficult to handle the marriage on their own. This might as
well lead to neglection of their family. The situation is the same when at
work. If a worker is too dependent on others, he might get left out, hence
lowering his own motivation.
In a conclusion, parents should know their role in teaching
their children and let them be independent. This is, of course, for their own
sake. Reflecting back to the way my mother used to teach me, I now understand
why it is very important to do the housework.
