The above two pictures reveal two fathers’ different teaching methods．In the first picture，the father is urging his son to study hard while he is smoking and watching TV idly．In the second picture， the father and his son are both concentrating on the study．The caption under the cartoon reads，“It is better to set an example than to make demands．’’
Apparently，the author of the cartoon focuses on a fact that many parents when educating their children tend to neglect the impact of their own action upon their children．It is without any doubt that all parents hope that their children could have a bright future．Therefore，they tend to count on schools and the society to provide their kids with a good education．However，what they don’t realize is that parents are the first teachers of children．Parents failing to set a role model for their children will only result in an unhealthy family atmosphere，which is definitely harmful to the future development of their children．
From my perspective，education from parents is of vital importance to a child’S healthy growth．Therefore，parents should provide their children with a favorable growing environment by being a positive role model．Only through persistent efforts and proper guidance can children enjoy a bright future．
