More than 50%!
All these problems we have with bad kids, it all boils down to parenting. If parents were made to take a parenting course every five years to cover each stage of a child's development we wouldn't have half the problems we do now.
We give them the basic tools in life and hope that we equip them enough to deal with the issues that life throws at them.
By the time they get to high school it is often out of our hands and down to the friends they hang out with. That is why the early years are so vital! Teach them respect early on and it will stay with them through life!

More like 80%. We instil the values and behaviours, we determine what boundaries the child will see as acceptable. Parents have a responsibility to ensure they instil appropriate values and manners into their children to ensure they become functioning members of society.
However, the extra 20% are outside influences, such as peers and negative experiences. These may or may not influence the child to make inappropriate decisions.. which can have a domino effect.
All we can do is lay a solid foundation, then hope it's strong enough to hold through shaky ground. Without the solid foundation, things will crumble quickly.

I think there is a difference between saying parents are 50% responsible and saying parents should take responsibility for their child's behavior.
I don't think you can quantify the the amount of responsibility parents have for their child's behavior. It is dependant upon the child's age and maturity level.
For instance, I worked in a card shop and a woman had her 3 year old in a stroller. The child was throwing expensive boxes of cards off the shelves onto the floor. I asked the woman nicely to prevent her child from damaging the cards, and she hit the roof. In this case, as she did nothing while this was going on, I feel the woman was 100% responsible for her child's behavior. She in turn took no responsibility for him.
A child is a separate human being with free will. But when a parent has to intervene, he or she should take full responsibility as a parent for his or her roll in finding a solution to a problem.

This is a yes and no response, I believe that you can mold a child at a young age, therefore making them accountable for there decisions and behavior, but after a certain age they have there own personalities and they tend to do what they want and take the punishment as they come.
Then as they begin to mature, they recall there up bringing sometimes and live by it, but it's always a toss of the baton, it's just like flipping a dice, you never know what your gonna get.
But we should all instill the good things in our children at young ages, and give them discipline so that they will know there are consequences to there actions.
I for one don't believe in the nautty chair, I believe in corporal punishment it worked with me and it sure worked with my four children, but I believe if you start young, you won't have to continue to use that discipline , they learn from it an tend not to repeat those behaviors.

Yes i think so coz we grow up looking at our parents dealing with different issues of life.
Well when we are a child we dont understand their way but try to imitate their ways in our ways.After we grow up we actually start analysing and take up some part of behaviour of our parents where its right and logical but dont tend to follow completely.
But yes our parents behaviour certainly have an influence on our behaviour.

In the US, parents are 100% responsible for the 'consequences' of their child's behavior until the age of 18 (under "normal" circumstances).
After 3 children, I have noticed that children behave, and then we react...so I wouldn't exactly say that we are responsible for their behavior,..maybe a better way to put it, is that we are responsible for accepting/not accepting a behavioral continuance...I don't see how one could truly place a percentile on this particular situation.

For those of us with children we no better then to say it is the parents fault for the way there children act.
Teenagers are not only changing/growing, but do things that make us parents want to pull out the rest of our gray hairs.
A parent can do there best, then we realize kids actually are people and have there own brain. All people have to take responsibility for themselves (which here in the USA people do not take responsibility for themselves as much as they should). Quit blaming there parents.
Those who have no kids, have no clue......

More like 40% from ages 4 - 18. Before or after that the person's or baby's will is 90% responsible. We have to train children to the best of our abilities, but they are still at the will of their own hearts and minds. We never stop trying. Peace.
