Nowadays, children behaviors are influenced by televisions, strangers, friends, and family members. First, one influence that has a major effect on children behavior is television. Believe it or not, television plays a big role in how kids act.

Second, children may also be influenced by people they don't know. Although most children are taught not to talk to strangers, we would be surprised how many actually do. Studies have shown that both boys and girls talk to strangers and they are more likely to do what the strangers tell them. Sometimes kids are influenced by their friends. Friends are people who are so close to chil¬dren, and they are people who children trust.

Third, kids are mostly influenced by their parents because they are people who stay with kids most of their time. Kids tend to be like them. Parents play a big role in children's life. If kid sees his/ her parents fight all the time at home, it will probably make him or her become rude.
