Children's development In the present age, children's development is play a significant role in our society. There has been much discussion revolving around the issue of whether family life and parents have the greatest influence on children's development. In this essay, I will compare and contrast two typical opinions regard this issue. It is evidently reasonable for some to argue that family life and parents have the greatest influence on children's development. First of all, there is a definite link between an unbroken family and children's mentality and physiology. Children in broken families, they may do not like attend parties and physical activities. For this reason, they always feel lonely and have unhealthy bodies. Moreover, parents' personalities are important factors of children's characteristic . A pair of parents with nice, enthusiastic, optimistic personality, their children would be infected with those feature. However , if parents were bland and rigorous , their children would be bald.  Thus, it can hardly be denied that important of family life and parents on children evolution . But some other people would disagree. They claim that the outer influence plays a more important role in children's life. Apparently, there are many things could effect children. For example, schooling can teach children a lot . In school , children acquire a mount of knowledge involve in many fields, such as math, literary, foreign languages. Further more, schooling promotes the development of children's skills and cultivate children's hobbies. Besides, children learn about close cooperation and team spirit from school. Consequently, school also makes a pivotal role on children life. In conclusion, I take the view that not only family life and parents have significants role on children's development , outer influence does as well. If we wanted to give a well future to children , we would care about the environment of family and many other factors.
