A friend I met in college was in school on an academic scholarship. Her mom was a crack whore, she has 8 siblings from 3 different men, her family has always been on welfare, she's moved throughout her childhood from one bad neighborhood to another. But, she always got up, went to school, applied herself, stayed off the streets, did extra curricular activities, and got a full scholarship to college based on her grades alone (not her financial situation). I asked her how she did it. I came from a straight-laced middle class family and was fascinated by her past. Her philosophy: "You either turn out just like your parents, or the complete opposite of them."

I think they affect us HUGE. My mom was my hero. She died oct 23, 1997. She was a single mom and had no help what so ever from my dead beat dad. He didn't get in the picture till after her death when he had no choice. She worked 2 jobs to support me and my sisters. Though she never had help from my dad. She never told us the bad things about him. We had to learn them on our own. She only talked positive about people. Although her life wasn't picture perfect and she had to work for everything. She never once complained. She tried no matter what to make sure we was happy no matter what it took. She couldn't buy us much. But her love for us made up for that. Through we didn't have much money she always managed to give the homeless a dollar or some food when she seen one. She was everything I hope I can be with my son ((3 months))). My dad on the other hand. Showed me everything not to be. He didn't have a thing to do with us till her death and only then because we each got 73 thousand dollars after court fees. He saw the dollar signs. I could go on and tell more but I won't.

Physically ? They are our offspring so we affect pretty much all of that. Do we, the way we act and talk, affect them ? Dramatically !! They are US, we can't change that. What we can change is how they act. Children are like sponges, they absorb so much. I can see so much of my parents, good and bad, in me , everyday. Their morals, beliefs, manners and all else. I will go no deeper. It sounds like you need REAL FACTS, that I can't supply. Just look at you or the world around you. 1 parent homes and the effects ? Parents that aren't home much and how the kids turned out.

I think parents have a very important influence on their children, starting from birth. It is very important when people decide to have children that they keep in mind that they will be molding the next generation and need to be positive role models for them.

A lot, both by their actions and by their words. Even unspoken words and attitudes can influence the way a child thinks and reacts to certain things, so as parents we have to be very careful how we carry ourselves in front of our children.

Parents need to realize that children are not little adults and they do not need to be spoken to as such, but they do need to learn about how to cope with life. Children get their feelings hurt very easily by what their parents say or don't say. My mom was very strict and not very nurturing, and I am going a totally different route with my son.
