Are There No Bad Children, Only Bad Parents?

This is an excellent New York Times article, arguing against the prevailing assumption among parents that, if our children go wrong, we must have raised them wrong.

Besides parental influences on children, there are outside influences (friends and media), genetic tendencies, and personal decisions. While some parents should obviously shoulder the blame for an errant child, in whole or in part, it's not always the parent's fault.

Great post, this is really what we all need to know, we can not blame for everything to a one person, there is always certain things, so thanks for pointing out those things, we can get more better results through Character Education.
