How does parenting affect child behaviour? Is there any correlation between them?

Parenting affects a child behavior in different ways. It affects a child behavior and that is why parent were instructed in the Holy Bible to bring up their children in the way that they should go so that when the children grow up, they will never depart from it.
Since the Holy Bible also makes emphasis on parenting.. that is to tell us that parenting have great effects in the life of a child either positively or negatively.

Alot of children today to become responsible and people of substance and value in the community as a result of the proper and careful upbringing and training the got from their parents while they were still children growing up.
Whereas other children are not responsible, are living waywardly and have grown today causing nuisance in the community because of the careless and improper upbringing and training the got from their so called parent.

The differences between a spoilt and a useless child and that child who is responsible and useful, is the upbringing and training they got while coming up ( parenting).
And I can boldly say that I am this responsible, respectful, hardworking, well mannered and a well behaved young lady as a result of how my parents trained and brought me up.

So therefore, parenting have great effects in a child behaviour whether positive or negative behaviour.

Is parenting alone responsible for child behavior or are there any other factors too? What are they? Explain.

Parenting is responsible for child behavior but then it is not the only factor that is responsible for the child behavior. There are other factors which are:

Peer group: Peer group and pressure is another factor that is responsible for the child behavior and that is why the Holy Bible says that "Bad company corrupt good morals"
Alot of children are misbehaving today not because their parent failed in parenting but it is as a result of peer group, i.e they were initiated or influenced into that bad behavior by their peers (Friends).

Another factor that is responsible for a child behavior is the environment that they child finds himself, environment also have great effects in the behavior of the child. If a child grows up in an environment where almost all the children are stubborn and dishonest to their parents, it will only take the grace of God for that child not to be stubborn or dishonest no matter how hard the parent will try to train the child. This is called environmental factor.

And lastly, another factor is the mindset of the child, because as parent you only give birth to a child but you do not give the child mind or rather heart. There are some children today who are worthless and wayward not because their parent failed in parenting or they were influenced by peer group but they are who they are simply because that is how they choose or decide to behave and live their lives.
This factor is called personal factor.

Can we change a child’s behaviour after they are grown up?

No not all. I said no because let's take for instance a tree, do you know that you can bend a fresh tree but cannot bend a tree that is already dried? This is applicable to a child's behavior!

The right and only time that is good to sharpen a child's behavior to how you want it to be is when the child is still young ( has not grown up). But once the child is grown up, it will only take the grace of God Almighty for that child's behavior to be reshaped and corrected.

So as parent, let's endeavor that we train and bring up our children in the way that they should go, so that when the eventually grow up, they will not and will never depart from it!
