Some parents are too lenient in raising their children, they provide whatever they ask for, and the children do not have restrain, boundaries are not being set to ensure contentment . This however, can some what reinforce negative attitude like wanting to get what do not belong to them, not prioritizing their wants and needs and tantrums, this will reflect as a dysfunctional lifestyle in their adult lives. This essay will highlight that this method of parenting often result in children that are raised to become irresponsible adults in future.
Parents are the first and primary teachers that children have contact with when they are born , raising the little ones with ill behaviors without discipline has proven to create negative lifestyle and poor choices in life. Children that do not obey parents instructions often do not follow instructions outside the home. Certainly kids without discipline find it difficult to have a good academic performance. I have had a first hand encounter with parents that did not adequately raise their child with some level of strictness. As a young adult who is supposed to be in the university, he has refused to attend lectures regularly, he hangs out with troublemakers and drug peddlers, his parents are having serious health concerns as they are constantly worried and anxious for him. I have a strong feeling that if he was put in check as a child he would not have turned this way.
Moreso ,Children brought up without discipline often turn out to be irresponsible, misfit and unfulfilled adults. Success in life generally requires discipline and dedication to a course. However , these youngsters did not get such training in their early life ,and as such cannot match up their peers in different endeavours of life, they may end up being incarcerated, having to deal with health challenges due to substance abuse and suffer a lot of set backs due to lack of self discipline.
In conclusion raising kids with ideal attitude to life requires parents to have a mixture of love and firmness in other to ensure that children learn appropriate behaviors and lifestyle that will enable them grow to become functional individuals in their adult life.
