So many people would say that someone/a child would have a good behaviour all because the parents are good people, NAH! I won't fully support that notion. I can only agree to the fact that it's a part of grooming a child's behaviour because children are like a magnet and they attract metal (attitudes) that seems to be close to them. Children would see how their parents behave everyday and from there one or 2 starts to deposit into their heads.
Parental guidance and behaviour is very important in a child's life growth and that is why you see that when a parent smokes, the child at an early stage of his/her life thinks it's right or good to smoke or drink but it becomes wrong to him/her when they starts to grow and realizing the good from bad then realize their parents are doing the wrong thing and that's where I'm going to.

Whatever you get to be in life will be through your learning, What You Chose To Learn and Who You Chose To Learn From. Even up to your deposited talent, because you have it already doesn't mean you can be good at it and you may never utilize it if you don't learn to bring the best out..
If every child's behavior has to do with 100% parent's attitude or blueprint then only the good people would have been giving birth to good children and vice-versa but this has been proven wrong as there are criminals whose child/children would chose to be fighters against crime.
There are sluts whose children are devoted people who has made their bodies sacred and likewise there are Pastors whose children are always in club smoking or living a ruthless life.

We learn to be good if we want to be good and we learn to be bad if we want to be bad. We either learn to love and care about the people around us and we can either learn gradually to hate and despise them. We can learn to be helpers and we can learn to tarnish people's image from receiving help but it takes great determination to stay on being a good person than being a bad person and that's why it's always easy being bad than being good.
Growing up as a child, you might decide to be of good behavior as your parents have been good or teaching you to be and you might as well think being good is not good for your health.
Me growing up as a child in an environment filled with different families of different acts and backgrounds, although I had the good upbringing and directives from my parents but I chose not to be what my neighbours children chose to be or do. I learnt to imitate and learn from the adults that lived decently and not waywardly. I chose to focus on the good things I see that I would also want to become in the future and I ensured to work towards them. It wasn't about my parent's upbringing only but because I want to be a better version of the environment I grew up in and I learnt from only those that I saw as perfect people for that journey including my parents.

If life or having a good behaviour is not about learning then there's no need for a parent to teach or nurture their children to be good and be great children because they ought to have concluded that since they're good people, without their intervention the child/children is/are supposed to be good BUT NO they would still need to teach them because they need to LEARN and after then the CHOICE comes in and they build what they've chose to be gradually.

There is always a CHOICE to whatever we want to become in life, LEARNING to either be good or bad. We own the paddle to sail the canoe of our lives.
I'll be dropping my ποΈ here on the prompt from Hive Learners community on HUMAN TRAITS
Thanks for reading through π€
Thank you π This is appreciated
I completely agree with what you wrote there " we learn to be good if we want to be good"
Exactly π― We can't be what we don't want to be if we don't give ourselves in to learn it cos there's no coincidence to being good or bad
I agree in the means that you will need always to fight instincts to heal your inner self to make good choices. One example is the revenge.
Hmmm hmmm that's deep
It is exactly like this: if children are well-trained and do not meet the wrong people outside, they will follow their parents' advice and will definitely become good people. If children constantly meet the wrong people and get involved in wrong activities, then no matter how hard parents try, they cannot train them well.
Wrong circle of people influences a lot
This is a great contribution
Yeah you are right.
