It is clearly depicted in the given picture that the daughter is so excited to tell her mom she is accepted to the college of her mom's choice. There is no doubt that parents play an extremely important role in their children's lifetime. Even a single word may change a child's character, habit, behave, etc.
As an old saying goes, 'Every coin has its two sides'. Living in a good family atmosphere, parents are always considered as children's models. Children imitate what their parents do because parents are the people who have experienced a lot and can distinguish between right and wrong, thus helping them become mature. At least most children choose to believe their parents' edification, as far as i know. On the contrary, there is no possibility that those who can't be a master of himself will guide their children to the right path.
Hence, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that parents are the best and lifelong teachers for children in their growth. Bear in mind that what you have done may change your children's life.
