Her personal agenda thus fulfilled, she proceeds to insult a reader s memory by listing numerous ways in which parents can influence their children. And perhaps the most astounding aspect of this list is that it is excellent C quite out of place in a book that insists parent-child interactions have no influence on children. Parents can influence their children s choice of professional and leisure time activities. Parents influence the way their children behave at home. Parents supply knowledge and training that their children can take with them after they leave the home.
Parents can influence their child s choice of religion.
Parents can influence how their children eventually run a home. Parents can influence their children s peer relationships by choosing to live in a particular neighborhood or by enrolling their child in a particular school. I can only heartily agree with Harris views of how parents can influence their children. It turns out that Harris has an axe or two to grind. With our second child we had all sorts of rules and none of them worked.
