I'm sorry to have this narrow-minded thought that it is all to do with parenting. Parents are important as they are the means of primary socialisation and they are the ones that can integrate anything into their heads from a young age... However, a childs social life contributes to a lot of their behaviour as well; what teachings they have in their school, what kind of friends they have and the environment that they live in as well.

Parents can control just so much though. I mean, parents shouldn't be spying on their children etc either at the same time. How much can you dictate them? The parent can only relay the teachings. And the child itself, if he/she was brought up well, will do what's right insha-Allah.

But I have to admit that those little kids are more smart than the kids of previous generations, I mean they know many things that we didn't know.

I agree with this very much. These little kids are indeed smarter but the problem is when they KNOW and THINK they are smarter than the parents and thus know what is best for themselves.

That's the problem. It's not that they're smarter. They just act street smart and grown up. That's not necessarily a good thing. They should stick to their own age talk. Keep in mind they are still immature. And that street smartness stays within them forever. It's not a good thing at all. I don't know exactly how to explain it but I agree with xsmilesx. They start thinking they know better than their parents and the rest of the elders.

I am not saying that parents have to be controlling and if they don't spy on their children then it is their fault for not preventing things from happening. I am only saying that if from a very young age - from the moment a child starts understanding lets say - a parent can integrate into their head that speaking back to them or speaking disrespectfully is wrong, then they will believe that as they grow.

I have seen some parents who do not utter a word when their child swears, of course the child is going to think swearing is normal (?).
