“How true Daddy's words were when he said all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”
— Anne Frank

Simplified Meaning:
When children are growing up, parents can guide them and show them the right way to behave. They can teach good manners and important values. However, kids need to make their own choices and learn from their own experiences. For example, a parent might tell their child to be honest, but only the child can decide to tell the truth when faced with a difficult situation. It’s like a parent can show you how to ride a bike, but only you can keep pedaling to become a good rider. In the end, what kind of person you become depends a lot on your decisions and actions. So, it's important to take responsibility for how you live your life and make sure you grow into the person you want to be.
