Parents have little time with children

Tweet

Often people take it as given that mothers were homemakers and fathers were breadwinners. In modern life, both parents have to work out for themselves within the give role of homemaker and career. I do believe children suffer due to inadequate attention from their hectic working parents. Even though many children have other carers, such as baby sitters or other relatives, actually the best childcarers are in terms of the emotional quality of the attention the children might receive. Parents themselves are best placed to provide this. They can provide the most unselfish care about the children's well being, as well as practical care. Many nurseries are driven by economic interest instead of pure love and care to the children. Parents have a leading role to play in the children's psychological development and family education directly affects a child's overall capacity- including his communicative, cognitive and perceptual capacity. It is reported in China Daily that one in eight childern suffer certain types of metal problems and their parents are largely to be blamed. In most urban families, parents often think of spending large sums of money to ensure their child gets the best food, clothing and education. In fact, parents need to play and communicate more with the children to enhance mutual understanding and meet the kids' need for love and attention. The perfect growing of a child is closely related to the time and energy given by their parents. Of course the ideal scenario would be for one of the parents ( often the wife ) to have a parttime job and thus be available for their children before and after school. It is important to establish the correct balance between family life and working life.
