Adults should not compare their childrens lives to their own childhood

" I have to point out that firstly pre-adolescent children do not fully comprehend what their parents are trying to tell them" - Are we just going to let them make have their own ways? Or our own ways? I think not, that's why parents do have the right to compare their own childhood, I repeat, for guidance's sake. It is because they have the proper authority. " it has been proven that children do not learn lessons or follow their parents advise without their parents being able to back their sayings with actions"- Proven? Really? Do you have any evidences to support your claim? "No his curiosity will get him to touch it and he will burn his hand, alternatively his mother could show him that it is hot and that is why he shouldn't touch it because he will burn,"- Oh, really? Let's burn every parent's hand to show to every stubborn child that ovens are hot. Words are enough to discipline a child. Why aren't they working then? It is because there is lack of strictness or lack of the sense of guidance to the children. We don't need a stick or a painful belt to tell a child that ovens are hot. " so in conclusion of this arguement children do not listen to what their parents say majority of the time so why should they heed any advise from their parents when they're relating a story from their childhood?"- Not all children. Why should they heed any advise? Actually, they should, they really should, that's why parents are in the need of doing that. If your mom told you not to hurt that dog because she was bitten by a dog when she was 9 by stepping on the dog's tail, would person (in your childhood days) like you, full of curiosity yet not immune to fear, not follow her instructions? I disagree to your point that children would not follow all of their parent's instructions. Since you're referring to pre-adolescents I might as well say that children in those age are also fearful. " if they children don't listen to t and sometimes the best lessons are ones learnt by themselves for example going out partying the day before school and having to go to school the next day the children would have to suffer the hangover and realize their mistake and not doing it again"- So you're trying to say that prevention is not better than cure? I mean, there are many, many other situations like that out there waiting for its next victim, us. How can we prevent them? By letting our parents guide us through knowing their own experiences, wherein they've been a victim before, wherein they already know the consequences, or even ( in today's world) worse consequences. "but if the parents just told them that would be the consequence they might not fully comprehend the consequences of their actions"- That's not my point. The reason why the parents will say the consequence is because they've gone through it. If the action had not been done before, it would be really difficult to avoid. That's why we have our parents to narrate their own childhood and what they've experienced before so that we may know what to avoid. "And secondly many a time the children might misinterpret their pants intention when they tell their children of their story and this could provide pressure on these children after all the amount of pressure on us to day is extremely high and we don't need our parents there to tell us stories of their childhood to ours in comparison."- WHAT? I'll try to rebut what you typed, even though I'm a little confused. Parents know what they're saying and it is part of their responsibility to make sure that their children understood what they meant. They won't just do any comparison and in the end, their point was not clearly understood. "after all the amount of pressure on us to day is extremely high and we don't need our parents there to tell us stories of their childhood to ours in comparison."- That's why we need our parent's guidance and help. The extreme pressure given to us by this world may cause us to do different things which is out of our control. Our parents are there to give us a helping hand, because they've been to that pressure before as well, and we, the youth can overcome this pressure you're talking about by attaining guidance from our parent's childhood.
