Hegemonious Treatment In Educating Children In Churches

Every behavior that a child is exposed to can be imitated by the child. By the same token, parental behavior will influence positive development of children, while bad behavior can create bad children by children. Child development is influenced by the surrounding behavior including the language received by children in the family and the social environment. Authority in the family environment can affect the pattern of child development, depending on the behavior taught by parents. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of parental authority on the development of children to have a religious and spiritual life, to know the parents' strategies for children's development. Patterns and attitudes of parents in educating their children, which includes parental control of children, parents' democratic attitudes toward children, parents' demands on children, parents' affection for children through authoritarian, permissive or democratic ways.
