Currently, in this troubled world, most parents need to work for long times and spend short times with their families. That is the big problem; if they do not engage with their children, they may lose control on them. I think this situation can lead to serious issues.
First, when parents is not around, children might feel lonely or ignored. They end up seeking friends who do not have good influence. An example of such can be when the parent makes a teen feel disconnected; as such, he starts to hang out with the wrong crowd, which in turn lead them to make bad decisions. Parents must therefore be involve in the life of their kids so that better choices can be made.
Also, family time is very important in terms of build good relations. The activities include playing games or even just having dinner together, which in turn may provide a sense of belong; they feel their children are loved and secure, which is vital for their happiness. Without this connection, they may have problem with their emotions and act out negative.
The conclusion is that parents should try to spend more time with they children. When one don’t engage with his family, he lose control over his young ones. Balancing work and family life is very important in bringing up happy and responsible children.
