In Freud’s Family Romance, although I do not agree with some of his ideas, but I agree his point that Children from birth to been an adult, in their growth process, many of their thoughts, behaviors, language and education are learned from their parents. Like he said,” For a small child his parents are at first the only authority and the source of all belief”. Newborn children are like a piece of paper, are blank, they do not know anything, they need some people to fill out the paper, and the first person to fill this paper is usually their parents, most of people live with their parents after they born, they learn from their parents’ behavior, learn how to speak, how to eat, how to wear clothes and so on.  the same, they will learn bad behavior from their parents. Therefore, many people think that parental education is very important, because it affects the child’s future behavior, cognitive. When children grow up to teenagers, Freud mention that children start often quarrel with their parents. “Small events in the child’s life which make him feel dissatisfied afford him provocation for beginning to criticize his parents.” In this stage, teenager self-awareness is growing up, they want to be independent and don’t want obey on their parents, which  lead too many children have rebellion in adolescence. They start have their own ideas, and believe their ideas are right. So, many teenagers oppose adults still put themselves as a “child,” they think they are already adults. In order to express they are grow up, for anything, they will hold opposing side. This is because they are worried that their parents will ignore their thoughts, so they use various methods to establish equal status with their parents.
