Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth(价值观). The self-respect is the basis of good mental(心理) health. A teenager, who is often made to feel stupid and unworthy, compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not be so sure and will be so afraid of failing that he or she won' t try at all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong. This is the way children learn. But the criticisms (批评) should be balanced with praises with a smile and a kiss. No child is ever too old to be cuddled(拥抱)

Parents owe their children firm guidance(指导). It is frightening for a teenager to feel that he is in charge of himself (自理);  it's like being in a car that can’t be stopped.

Parents owe their children privacy (隐私)and respect for their personal belongings. This means not taking things without permission, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through purses, pockets, and drawers.

If a mother feels that she must read her daughter's diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be quite bad.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values (道德准则) around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child, who is lied to, will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A teenager who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.

No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.
