Introduction

In order for children to develop comfortably and effectively into adulthood, parents provide them with protection and care.

The long-standing assumption that parents exercise a direct and powerful influence on their children through the socialization process has permeated research and theory of human development, as have most cultural belief systems. It is in the parents' best interest when their children flourish. The responsibility rests with them if their children do poorly.

According to researchers who emphasize a biological influence on children's development, this assumption has been questioned. Adopted children are more likely to have attributes such as personality, intelligence, and mental health in common with their biological parents than with their adoptive parents, according to behavioral genetic research. Furthermore, some researchers argue that relationships with peers, such as those with siblings, play an important role in development.

There are several points that researchers emphasize in their studies of the role that parents play. Biologically related families tend to have a hard time distinguishing between genetic and social factors. For example, a child with musical talent may be one of many children with musically gifted parents. If the same parents increase the musical emphasis at home, then it is hard to tell whether the child is musical by nature or by environment or (probably) both. The child's talent can take on a different form or be actively suppressed if their parents do not share a musical bent. Parents can modify their children's genetically predisposed strengths and vulnerabilities through their experiences.

Furthermore, the influence between parents and children is two-way rather than one-way (e.g. from parent to child). Impatient parents can cause their children to display anxiety, but stressed children can induce impatience in their parents. It does not matter from whose perspective the chain of events began. Children and parents alike can be caught in escalating
