Are classmates a more important influence to a child than parents? Some people hold the opinion that classmates are a more important influence than parents on a child`s success in school As far as I am concerned, parents act the big role than the classmates for the child`s success in school I explain my main reasons as follow Firstly, the children have used a lot of time with his or her parents than classmates When the parents pay more attentions on their child, child will get the influence by their parents Furthermore, children need good model to imitate The parents live with them everyday So the parents play the main actors to be intimated People say that like father like son It means if the parents behave good attitude to others, children will learn the same attitude from their parents Secondly, when the children have made the fault, the good words and advices decide children the set of value, because parent advices and behaviors always have been followed by their child The Classmates have not this kind of chance to influence your children For example, when children have told the lie to others, parents attitude decide the children`s behaviors in the future If parents can tell them what is right and what is wrong The children have less chance to be a bad boy or girl Although parents give more influent to a child`s success in the school than the classmates I have to say that classmates also can influence to a child Whole classmates of the child are hardworking students, the children will learn from the others They will want to be an up-and-coming person in one day However, compared with the parents influence, this is one of the small factors, just like many others contribute a child`s success In a word, if a child`s success in the school, the parent attitude plays ninety-nine percentage factors We may reach the conclusion that ike father like son ?The parents play correctly behavior children always follow it and vice versa
