Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past. This is having a negative impact on the children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Child rearing has always been an arduous task. With the changing times, the way of leading lives has transformed drastically; pushing people to abandon the conventional ways of fostering their wards and leaving young ones bereft of care and attention in the process. There is a common perception this has a detrimental effect on a majority of children.

Nowadays, over  engagement of mothers and fathers in their professional pursuits is causing them to neglect their little ones. This is creating a void in the relationship between them and their wards by mitigating the understanding between them, thereby weakening the ties. Such an evolution, as many fear, might cause alienation among them due to lack of emotional connection.  

Moreover, this isolation deprives the growing minds of opportunities to embrace numerous skills and values. They do not get a chance to learn social, as well as moral values, and by virtue of which, some of them become introverts when they grow into adults, and due to the lack of confidence, they find it difficult to muster courage while approaching others.

Furthermore, parents fail to monitor the regular activities of their children which results in severe repercussions, leading to distortion in the behaviour as well as affecting the psyche of tender minds prominently since in the contemporary era, these unchecked youngsters are indulging extensively in the technology and consider it to be their mentor which plays a prominent role in shaping their lives.

To reiterate,  parents should consider child upbringing to be the utmost priority by rendering adequate time to their wards and monitor their conduct meticulously, otherwise neglecting them will leave a long lasting negative impact on the immature minds which would be irrevocable. Thus, I concur with the statement.
