Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children suffer because they do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past. Do you agree or disagree?

In contrast
, when a

Despite the above mentioned, I do not think that modern lifestyle leads to substantial suffering among children. The main reason for that, in my opinion, is because if parents spend their remaining free

to grow into the man he should be.
