Would you not agree there is an enormous difference between a child and an adolescent/young adult? Especially where the issue of parental influence and guidance is concerned? Discussing parental influence on young children is quite a different discussion than discussing parental influence on adolescents and post adolescents. If we can't agree on that then just tell me so I can stop wasting time trying to explain the difference.
Would you agree that a young child eventually becomes an adult?
Assuming you believe that, it should be rather obvious that when we are discussing how a child isn't be raised properly, or how a child should be raised, we are doing so with the end product (adulthood) in mind. Otherwise, it's nonsensical. We want to teach and influence our children in a way that produces reasonably well-adjusted adults in society, although it doesn't always work out.
