Are good children an indication of a good up-bringing?

Totally...a childs first influence are his/her parents and how/what they teach the child goes on to develop his/her personality as an adult.
Good upringing doesnt just mean what the child is tought but also how his parents and family behave with each other and with the child. Good communication, proper attention and supervision, the family environment and the moral and social values that are adopted and demonstrated in that household are the factors that contribute to a good up bringing among other things and can lead to a well rounded individual.

Sandy

Absolutely. But bad children do not necessarily reflect a bad upbringing.

AMY

for the most-part yesw. but alot of good adults, doctors,lawyers had tough upbringings. oprah for example.

Little Miss Bree Cullen

yes.

Atypical

Yes. It is very rare that good kids just magically happen. I have worked with kids for years and trust me the good ones have good parents.

no my friend had horrible parents and a shitty childhood, while I had an okay upbringing and she is more disciplined, stronger, and wellmannered than i will ever be

Mad_hatter

no. My parents are the best in the world. Tolerant, careing, firm, and secure. They teach well, respect, and have rules set in place that are more than fair. My sister still came out horribe. Now she regrets it. Its just a matter of personality, events, and the amount of rebellion that one has.

Yes I would think so especially if the children's parents are wise counselors.
Cautiously thinking advance toward your child's influence.

most of the time...

yes, it takes hard consistent positive reinforcement on the parent's behalf to raise a good, well mannered, well behaved child. It will help their child in the future and the rest of their lives. I've seen too many parents that are too layed back, want to be friends with their kids instead of parents and the kids are not well mannered and people can't stand being around them. Do your kids a favor and put the time and effort in to make them the best people they can be

In my opinion Yes

annabelle p

In most cases, yes. Some children are inherently good and well-behaved.

CornyFred

no.

tisya

yes,but wayward children doesn't mean that their parents are failure in rearing them.

DJ P

It's possible. But sometimes people brought up in a very negative setting can resist the bullshit.

YES

I guess you could say so.

I'm a good kid but have made some bad mistakes in life and have learned from it.

The reason why I don't rebel is because I can actually come to my parents and talk about what I did was bad without having to worry about being grounded for two months straight.

A lot of my friends do bad stuff, illegal stuff. I have come to the conclusion that if a parent doesn't listen and talk to a certain extent, it will get them nowhere with their child.

I'm not trying to tell people how to raise your kids, but every friend of mine whose parents have never talked to them, or thought the right way of punishing them was to yell and ground them and be done with it had a much bigger lash back from their kid rather than from a parent who tells their kid that they can come to them any time when they have a problem.

All of my friends ended up doing drugs and illegal things like stealing and vandalizing. My mom wonders why they all ended up in really bad situations in life and I just tell her "Just keep doing what you're doing, mom."
