I think parents should try spend time with the children. The bible says train your child in the way he should and he will never depart from it. Background is what shapes a child's future. A child will pick up whatever he sees, cant really tell the difference. If they spend time with peers or people that have bad habits, they pick it up fast but they will always remember what you have taught them. The parents that are meant to be there to teach and correct them are just not there to see the little changes that are started happening. Most of the bad behavior seen amongst kids nowadays is as a result of bad parenting. Kids both small ones and teenagers are meant to be respected and spoken to in a better way. My advice to parents is to show love, watch and correct your kids in a better way instead of nagging them and teach them how to treat others. Be your kids' friend. Ciao

Yeah... I too think that parents should spend more time with their children. Child stage is very important. If the good values are not inculcated in this stage, then the child will never become a good man. You must have heard the saying that a child is a man's father. I think that times are changing and if each generation adapts to them, then it will surely benefit the entire world.
