In recent times, young adults are spending less time with their families and more time with their friends. Why has this change occurred? Do you think parents should force their children to spend more time at home?

In recent years, young people tend to have more

time

for their friends while they spend less

time

with their families. Teenagers usually choose to be with their peers because they find them more available and understanding when compared to their family. I believe parents shouldn’t force their children

instead

they should find activities to gain their

child

’s attention. Overwhelming struggles of business world usually gets in the way of parents and their children. When both parents have to work for financial needs, children look outside to find the attention they need. Because on a daily basis, working parents aren’t available and even when they are at home, they are either tired of the work or there is always housework to do.

For example

, both of my parents were working and my mother would do house work when she gets back while my father would watch television complaining about his day, I had no choice but looking for friends to spend

time

and talk because they weren’t paying enough attention.

Moreover

, most parents forget they were a

child

once and they usually overreact to their children’s actions or decisions. They are either over-protective about their

child

or think that they can’t

do

engage in

make

mistakes which overwhelms their

child

.

Such

behaviours lead the

child

to prefer to be with his/her friends and discuss their problem

instead

of their parents. In conclusion, even if parents are working, they should spare a proper amount of

time

for their children to have a quality family

time

.

Also

, they should be aware of their reactions might frighten their children and damage their relationship.
