The texts "The Most Powerful Question A Parent Can Ask..." by Neil Millar, and "Be-ers and Doers" by Budge Wilson chronicle two family's and there very different approaches at raising children. One explains that you should give your children certain responsibility's and the other determines the difference between slacking and enjoying the time and working all the time and keeping concentrating.

In "The Most Powerful Question A parent Can Ask...", Neil Millar defines the difference between how most kids get raised and how they should be properly raise to live success full lives. He states that there are many things that shape our children and many things that rub off on them such as morals and values. He acknowledges that most people are different and asks us if our "mother's old values working for [us]". As well, Millar Chronicles how parents do not always know what they want for there kids and states very clearly that he believes that the most power full question u can ask a parent is "what kind of children do you want to raise?". And shows that the majority of us let our kids just slack off and out there head through the clouds.

Now much like Millar exclaimed, Budge Wilson declares that her son that he is to much a "be-er" and wants him to be more like his sister whom is more like a "doer". The father in the story is the "be-er" kind as well and spent lots of time staring out the window or lieing on his back watching the clouds. The mom is consistently pleading the son to try harder in school especially after he came home with "a low mark in [his] math test". And Wilson continues explaining how this whole "be-er" attitude is incorrect.


Through out both of these compositions Neil Millar and Budge Wilson interpret how a child should be successfully be raised. They demonstrate what precisely is wrong with laid back parenting and how a proper parenting skill may exercise the proper skill needed for the future
