It is a scientifically proven fact that emotions and behavior of a child are greatly influenced by those of its parents. If parents tend to be extremist, children are often seen behaving in the same way. Calm and quite parents generally have quiet and peaceful children. But it is not just the parental characteristics that direct the behavior of a child at all times and under every circumstance.
Emotions and behaviors do change with time and are greatly influenced by the environment a child lives in, people present around him and degree of stress he has to face. Similar people tend to behave differently under different situations.
A quiet and calm child may become violent if he is continuously teased. An outspoken and bold child may become silent and depressed if he witnesses a tragic incident.
Behavior of a child is also impacted by its emotional state. A child in a pleasant mood reacts in a dissimilar way as compared to a child in an unpleasant mood, to the same incident.
For example, if a child having a pleasant mood is gently slapped, he may take it as an expression of love. But if the same child is slapped while he is angry, he may take it as an expression of dislike.
Behaviors are also influenced by the situations one has to face. Behavior of two similar children would change if one is treated with politeness and the other is treated with anger. This is what parents cannot be blamed for.
As far as the punishment of parents for their child’s misbehavior is concerned, that is a very illogical approach in my view. As the children grow up, their moods and behaviors change and some of them even become disrespectful to their parents. If we start punishing the parents for their children’s ill behavior, they will eventually scold their children to stop them from misbehaving and children may in-turn become ruder to their parents and this may harm their relationship badly.
So we have concluded that it is not wise to punish the parents for their children’s misbehavior.
