Scarr believes that family atmosphere does not dictate a child’s
personality and intellectual development under normal circumstances. A child’s
individual characteristics are determined by family genes and heredity. Scarr
says that all parents want the best for their children and that the thought of
super parents is ridiculous. When a parent’s
maternal nature kicks in they do whatever it takes to protect their children and
help them strive to be their best. This is an automatic instinct that is
essential to child development. I
believe that being a “good enough” parent is extremely important to the
development of children. It is the
little steps that parents allow their children to take that allow them to grow
and develop into young adults. If
children are kept under constant scrutiny they may never take the next step in
life for fear of failure.
