Hi Everyone,
If there is one thing I have learned in life it is never to knock back help, particularly at the starting blocks.
Parents are responsible for so much in a kids life I often wonder if they really realise their responsibility. For a start kids receive 23 chromosomes from each parent, who also received 23 chromosomes from each of their parents, these chromosomes deliver the genetic inheritance for each child. According to Richard Dawkins in "Selfish Genes" we are just the baggage that carries these genes into perpetuity, these genes get reshuffled and put together in different sequences, but they are never destroyed. These genes influence your ability to do almost everything in life. Evolution depends on them. Parents also play a huge role in guiding kids towards their destiny, preparing them to receive knowledge in schools/colleges/universities or in vocational areas. Parents also encourage kids to adopt a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle, become risk takers.The way a parent handles stimuli will also influence the child and to a large degree will determine their ability to avoid maladjustment, and avoid succumbing to a disease of maladjustment. The role of the parent should never be underestimated, so choose your parents wisely.
