Parental Involvement
It isn’t easy to be involved with a teen who keeps pushing away, but making the effort pays off. Parents who are involved with their children, who know where they are after school and have met most of their friends, have a positive effect on their child’s life. Children of involved parents are less likely to participate in risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol or fighting, according to the Kentucky Department for Public Health. Teens with involved parents have better self-esteem and perform better in school.
Lack of Involvement
On the flipside, a lack of parental involvement can have long-lasting negative effects on a child. Children who don’t have a close relationship with a parent are at risk for teen pregnancy, more likely to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, and more likely to live a sedentary life. They are also more likely to be withdrawn or suffer from depression.
Healthy Habits
Children observe parents and their behaviors. Parents lead by example. A child who sees his dad exercising regularly is more likely to be active as an adult. Behaviors demonstrated by parents affect a child’s eating habits, exercise habits and dental hygiene.
Bad Habits
Unhealthful behaviors might have even higher negative effects. Children of smokers are more likely to smoke, because of parental modeling and because they have increased access to cigarettes. A child of an alcoholic parent is four times more likely to become an alcoholic, according to the Kentucky Department for Public Health. Some of it is genetics, some modeling, and some accessibility.
Positive Parenting
Being an involved parent takes time, patience and the ability to deal with eye rolls and mopey behavior. Parents can start with a family dinner, which has shown to have a tremendous positive effect on children. The family dinner brings parents and children together, giving time and space for conversation in a comfortable environment. Positive parenting is being available to a child, talking about subjects that interest the child and knowing his friends.
Answer and Explanation:
The characters trying to change Huck are the widow Douglas and Mrs. Watson. They feel that Huck is rude, uncivilized and behaves like a savage and not like a white southern kid should act. They feel responsible for "fixing" him and preventing him from becoming an unworthy adult and outside the social standards desired by southern society.
Widow Douglas doesn't change all of Huck's clothes, forces him to church and school, and wants him to stop unbecoming childlike habits like smoking. She wants him to become a Christian gentleman. Mrs. Watson, on the other hand, doesn't like him to be illiterate and rude. She tries to teach him to read and wants him to adopt Christian behavior.
It should be noted that Huck is the main character of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," a book that tells the story of Huck, an adventurous boy, who escapes from an inhospitable environment and lives many adventures, discovering new concepts, breaking prejudices and making friendships.
