Peers' versus Parents' Influence

I think that parents have a sustainable effect on the overall development and social development of children, so I think that they play a decisive role in the influence of children in the developmental process. As children grow, they contain many factors that influence their attitude and behavior of children. These attitudes and features were originally learned from parents. I also believe that when we are in high school, we are hoping for a different thing from our colleagues.

Fellow groups are important elements in their lives, but they are more important in childhood and adolescent years. The impact of the peer group on parental influences is often controversial, especially during puberty. Recent studies have shown that parents still have a big impact even during puberty. This is a discovery that can be relieved for many parents. When the relationship with the family is neither close nor unsustainable, the power of the colleague group seems to be more important. For example, if parents do extra work and are almost unavailable, children may rely on colleague groups for emotional support. This happens when the conflict between parents and children increases during adolescence or child development, as children are pushed away and ask for intimacy elsewhere. In this case, most children and adolescents will not discriminate against participating groups.

The influence of the fellow depends on the influence of the parent. Generally, children and young people with less contact with parents have greater influence (Kandel et al., 1978; Steinberg, 1987). Parents seem to have a greater influence on working-class drug use than middle class, and blacks are more influential than white people (Biddle et al., 1980). Parents appear to have a greater impact on the initial decision on whether to use drugs than ongoing decisions on how and when they are used (Kandel and Andrews, 1987). Patterson and his colleagues emphasize the socialization practices of the family and their relationship with extraordinary colleagues. Because they have a big influence on the occurrence of crime. He asserted that "the more antisocial the child is, the soon it becomes a member of an abnormal peer group" (Patterson and Yoerger, 1997: 152).

Behavioral influence on children's health is often reciprocal, affected, and influenced by parents and colleagues. For example, parenting style, family customs, fellow influence, not only fairly simple youth behavior such as compliance with behavioral requirements and participation in health prevention programs, but also more complex behavior such as participation in disease management program It also affects. In this section we will focus on internal psychological factors that support children's behavior and influence subsequent health effects.
