The Most Important Influence on Children\r\n Some people hold the view that family plays an important role in influencing the children while others think that children’s friends influence them most. As far as I are concerned(陈述见解),family is what influences children most.\r\n When a baby comes into this wonderful world, his first teachers are his parents. It is in the family that he learns to smile ,walk, talk and forms his ideas about what is going a- round him. Parents teach their children language skills and how to be a true man in the world. Most importantly, the child would respond to the world just as his parents do. Even when he enters school, the child still spends a lot of time at home where he exchanges his ideas towards society and people with his parents. Naturally, parents may reinforce or change his ideas. In this way, his family exerts a life - long influence on the child.\r\n To sum up(总结),family is the place where children’s personalities and characters are shaped and many kinds of their skills are learnt and formed. Family will influence children during their whole lives.
