In recent times, parents allocate generous time

will impact negatively on children who are given excessive freewill.

To begin

with, parents giving their kids excess lack of restriction will lead to a negative development as a growing child’s mind is always curious. One of the reasons I believe

For instance

if left unmonitored. Another point to consider is that when children are given too much liberty, they can be negatively influenced by their peers.

In other words
