According to my experiences, children tend to be the people who their parents are during their childhood. If their parents are positive and diligent, they are probably thriving. On the other hand, children might be undisciplined with two nagative and lazy parents. We always say that parents are the first teachers in each child's whole life. They rely on their parents and want to be better with their parents' help. This is just like a little tree which needs to be taken good care of. When it grows up to be a big tree, it can stand up in storms. As for parents, we also need to give them a good condition to grow up. A good condition doesn't consist of money, big house and cars. It's a good atmosphere with a pair of parents who try their best to change themsleves to be better. If they become better, there is no doubt that their children can be better , too. So, I think that parents are the best gift for their children, if they are good enough!
