Nowadays, most children spend less and less time with their parents.
What is the reason for this and what problems can this cause?
SAMPLE ESSAY:
The phenomenon of children receiving insufficient parental attention is becoming more and more common in our modern society. This essay will discuss the causes of this weakened bond between parents and children and its effects on children’s growth.
There are several reasons why modern children tend to spend insufficient time with their parents. One of the primary reasons for this is that many modern families have two working parents. Only when both parents are employed can they build a strong financial foundation for a comfortable life in this costly modern society. In addition, after a hard day at work, parents tend to suffer from fatigue , so they prioritize entertainment and relaxation activities over tending to their children. Understandably, children may experience a sense of alienation from their parents.
A number of problems may stem from this prevalent trend. Undoubtedly, a lack of parental attention can lead to poor child development as the child does not receive enough guidance. Without much family support, a child may fail to meet academic requirements, or even worse, develop insecurity and a fear of abandonment. Besides, children may divert their attention to their peers and activities that give instant gratification such as computer gaming, instead of spending time with their family.
Overall, a dearth of family quality time may be attributed to the trend of working parents and the consequential exhaustion. As for the negative effects, this shift may severely compromise multiple aspects of a child’s development, including their academic performance as well as emotional well-being.
