In many families, parents don't pay attention to teaching their children. Some parents think they only need to give their children food and clothes, and send them to schools and pay for their education. That's all. In fact, they are wrong.

     We should know that parents are children's first teachers. They should also educate them. They should teach their children how to study, how to get on well with others, how to respect(尊敬)people and more. Probably the parents don't know many things, but they can give their children confidence(信心) and the good attitudes(态度) to life.

     Some parents treat (对待)their children badly when their children don't get good grades or make mistakes(错误). That only makes things worse. Their children also learn to criticize(批评) others.

     So I hope all the parents should learn how to teach their children and make them grow up more healthily.
