Bringing up children is a hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so, Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long—term effects on the development of the characteristics of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the belief which has controlled developmental psychology(心理学) for almost half a century.

Ms. Harris’s attack looks likely to strengthen doubts that the field was already having. If parents matter, why is it that a pair of twins, raised in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of twins raised in different homes?

Difficult as it is to follow the exact effects of parental upbringing, it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer(同龄人) group in childhood and youth. Ms. Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But gaining a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists look for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard—working. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little effect on those qualities, it will be hard to prove that peers have much more.

Moreover, mum and dad surely cannot be ignored completely. Young adults may, as Ms. Harris argues, be eager to appear like their peers. But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may firstly choose the peers with whom their young mix. Moreover, most people suppose that they come to be similar to their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complex, as most parents already doubted without being able to prove it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes(基因) they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as love and good example, parents are not completely off the hook.
