Nowadays, every adulthood has hectic schedule, as a result, they are unable to spend quality time with family members. As mostly adolescents spend time with their grandparents only, children do not communicate effectively with their own parents and it affects the family environment in far way.
To commence with, as young ones are busy in achieving their goals, they cannot prioritize their family. Because of this phenomenon, there is increase of communication barrier and children-parents’ relationships are becoming more weaken day by day. It causes lack of trust, empathy and sympathy towards each other. For an instance, primary school students share their daily incidents with their grandparents but they do not want to talk with their own parents. Moreover, its difficult for parents to understand their own child as they live a very less life together.
In addition to that, as there is generational gap, between children and grandparents, they cannot share their all things and feelings with grandparents. Mother and Father are the only person who can understand and care the feelings of child. If they are busy, child become lonely and face stressful situations and because of this they tends to follow wrong path. They spend more time with wrong friend circle. What is more, they might be start smoking or use of drugs, alcohol, because of loneliness. In the end it affects the whole family. For example, most of the school students are becoming drug addicts at an early age because of loneliness.
To recapitulate, Grandparents try to give good habits to their grandchildren but there are several devasting effects of parents not raising their children. Primarily it affects children but in later stages whole family suffers.
