Human life is a learning process which never end. Learning process start from birth of a child and continued in various form through out his life. A child learn first from his parents and his mode of thinking in later stage reflects what he learned from his parent.
Child hood is a basic stage of learning at which child can be moulded at any direction imposing certain idea to him. At this stage they initiate to learn, watch and analyze their parents and imitate what they hear and see from their parnet. Children are so fast to catch new things that they even start to sing the song which parents frequently used to listen. They react the situation like their parents and speak the same language used by their parents.
At the stage of schooling, a child interact with his friends and teachers also and learns new things. But most of these interaction are for study the course materials and play with friends. Basic value and way of life they live is depend on what parents teach them. It is a fact that good schooling without a good family members can not produce a responsible future citizen. So the role of parents is most crucial for a better learned future citizen.
Infact a person continuously interact with other throughout his life and he always learn something new also. But the persons thought, belief and value always reflects his parents. so I strongly believ that the role of parents are most significant for mental development of a child .

Our parents are our first teachers. It is our parents who teach so to say the first word, help us take the first step and buy us the first book. Even so, they may not be the best teachers. I hold my view with the following reasons.
Firstly, the way they teach may not be a proper one. They may indulge their children too much and offer the children all they want. In the long run, children would not listen to what their parents, or even anybody, say to them. It will of course give rise to the difficulty go communicating with others. Other parents may be too strict to their children. They may frequently blame or even beat the children because of probably a trivial thing. It will cause the children to lose their self-confidence and become too timid to do anything or make any decision.
Secondly, many parents may not be qualified enough to be good teachers. Their values may not be quite correct, their knowledge may be very limited and their points of view may be out-dated. All these phenomenons are common in our life. They are not rare conditions. We can see many teenagers rebel violently against their parents. It is because they just emerge from dependence and they are aware of the problems of their parents.
Except parents, we still have a lot of teachers: teachers in our schools teach us lots of meanful knowledge , friends around us give us many golden rules of life, and newspapers inform us numerous information. To some extent, everyone would be our teacher because what we know is so limited. The most important thing is all of those are valuable, and that is what I want to emphasize.

I still remember every time when I felt sad because of failure in my studies at middle school , my mother would calm me down and told me it was good since I tried my best. After one is born, the first and nearest teachers are the parents. So parents teach children a lot during their process of growing up. As for me, parents are the best teachers. The reasons are as follows:
First, my parents show me how to be a useful person to the society. My father is a doctor and my mother is a teacher . They are always willing to help others . When I was young, we were often woke up by someone whose relatives caught an urgent illness. My father got up without hesitation and went out to cure them. My mother often taught some students at home who met some difficulties in their studies. My parents were held in great respect. All the above influenced me greatly and I made my decision to grow up to be such a useful person like them. They taught me to study hard to acquire knowledge to serve the people.
Second, my parents do play an important role in shaping my inclination and character. My parents are both optimistic and good at physical education. My father liked to take me out to attend some activities which cultivated my willingness to associate with my friends. To some extent, my strong body is credited to exercise during childhood.
Finally, my parents offer me warmth and care, tell me to have confidence in myself and to be an independent person in the society. They both help me understand the world as it is. Both of them are the dearest parts in my life.
