Child reflects from parents
Any goodness of a branch and twig of a tree comes from its roots. This is the same with saying every child’s goodness comes from his parent’s good foundation for them. Goodness means the state or quality of being good.

Every child’s success is recognized together with his parent’s effort and support. Considering the financial, parents are said to be the top one responsible for their children’s intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual and even the social aspect. These aspects are indeed, needed to be enhanced and important because these are things that will tell the health of a person – child. Health here refers not only to the physical condition but the totality of a person that will let him be adequate to satisfy the rules of the true meaning of human being. The said aspects are also proofs of the goodness they give to their children.
