我相信父母对他们的孩子的影响比任何人或其他任何东西都要大得多，并没有对他们失去控制。儿童最早和最重要的影响来自他们的父母。所以父母对孩子的理解是不可或缺的世界。当我还是很年轻的时候，我的父母开始教我许多不同的东西。其中有伦理和对错的感觉。他们教我做什么，我不该做什么。即使到了今天，我也一直在和我一起生活，我也试着用这些标准去生活。我们还必须记住父母是孩子们控制他们的孩子看到的和做的。他们可以确保他们的孩子看接受的节目和做适当的活动，只要他们监督他们的孩子。
For example, my parents always let me know which television programs I was allowed to watch. If they did not think a certain program was appropriate, then they would not permit me to watch it. When parents exercise more control over what their children watch and do, then they are able to influence their children tremendously. Finally, children often look up to their parents as important influences in their lives. So parents need to act like better role models for their children. When children see their parents doing something, they automatically assume that it is correct behavior. My parents never drank, smoked, or used bad language in front of me, so they were very positive role models for me. This way, I never picked up any negative influences from them. By acting properly in front of their children, parents can make sure that they influence their children in a positive manner. Children are greatly influenced by their parents, who teach them early in life, control their activities, and serve as positive role models. While other factors can be influential, parents are still the most important influences in their children's lives.

例如，我的父母总是让我知道我可以观看的电视节目。如果他们不认为某个程序是合适的，那么他们就不允许我去看它。当家长们对孩子们的手表和做的更多的控制时，他们就能极大地影响他们的孩子。最后，孩子们经常把他们的父母看作为他们生活中的重要影响。因此，父母需要更好的扮演他们的角色模范。当孩子看到他们的父母在做某事时，他们会自动地认为这是正确的行为。我的父母从不喝酒，吸烟，或在我面前使用不好的语言，所以他们对我来说是非常积极的榜样。这样的方式，我从来没有从他们身上出现任何负面的影响。父母在他们的孩子面前表现得很好，父母可以肯定他们会以积极的方式影响他们的孩子。孩子受父母的影响很大，他们在生活中很早教他们，控制他们的活动，并作为积极的榜样。虽然其他因素可能是有影响的，父母仍然是最重要的影响，在他们的孩子的生活。
