CHILDREN LEARN BEST BY OBSERVING BEHAVIOUR OF ADULTS AND COPYING IT. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT?

In developed countries such as Japan and Singapore, the number of children is lower than the number of adults. However in some developing counties like Cambodia and Vietnam, there are the huge number of children and teens. Children and teens are the vital sources for developing country that why there is a Khmer slogan “Children are the new bamboo generation to instead of bamboo”. A county will meet a big problem if there are less educated children and teens. The relations between adults and children are very effective to children behavior. This statement is agreed by many people. Whereas it may be true about the effect of children behavior and adults, the social environment and children’s natural characteristic are also effect to them.
Actually, kids are easy to follow adults’ activities and behavior. For instance, many girls learn cooking by following her mother in kitchen when they were young and when they grown up they can cook food by them selves or for their family. For another example, a boy see his father do farming or go fishing all the time, he would prefer to do all these activities because they think all those activities they should learn.

To support the second ideas that disagree with the topic, many thinkers raise their opinion about the social environment and their natural behavior. Firstly, children behavior is affected by social environment such as media, culture and life condition. In fact, kids like the blank paper which is ready to copy what they see. For instance, many kids act as the cowboys or gangster after they watch violence movies. In contrast, other kids would prefer the good temper or fell enjoyable after watching educational program on TV. Beside TV the Internet, Radio, magazine and newspaper is also the ingredients to affect children behavior. Then the culture of their country is also a factor that makes change in their way of behave. In the general concept, children behave base on their culture. For example, all women and girls must wear their traditional cloths, and they are not allowed to talk with boys besides their brothers and father. It is the rule that they must follow. Another point is living condition. To clarify for that point, we can see the real life of children families such as rich families, poor families and middle class families. Most children in rich families behave in impolite way, confident and flexible; however, children in poor and middle class families behave in polite way and a bite shy. The second main point is base on their natural behavior. According to scientists, the genetic is basic instruction for building children body and behavior. It is the mixture of their parents’ genetic; furthermore, their children behavior is also got from what they have.
In brief, children a small part of children behavior is copy from adult. For deep thinking on this issue we will see other points such as media, culture, living condition and natural behavior. Kids are like white papers that easy to get what they learn around, so they need to
be careful all the time of what they learn or copy to their brain. In addition, people around them should provide the good environment in living to them as possible as they can. Therefore, in my pinion, kids can learn best from other factors that I mention before but not one hundred percentages from adults.
