Prompt for the week of September 30th

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.
