Nowadays most of the parents are working which lead to harmful effects on their children. What are the causes of it? what could be the result of it?

#parents #effects #children
It is often noticed that almost all the present generation families have both couples employed and
this
 results in their children being deprived of their attention and love.
This
 trend is caused by certain factors which can result in disastrous consequences in future. There are two factors attributing to the cause that working
parents
 are unable to devote time to their
next
 generation. The major culprit behind
this
 evil is the ever-rising inflation which makes it difficult for people to meet their daily needs. To explain
further
, nowadays prices of food, housing and education have skyrocketed which results in need of more resources to finance the same.
Hence
, both
parents
 have to work compulsorily to earn handsomely to support their family. One more factor to be considered here is the level of education of today’s women.
For example
, one of my sister who is a scientist works not only for money but
also
 to fulfil her dream of being a project manager in the ISRO.
However
, it can cause havoc in the coming days.
First
 and foremost,
this
 can result in a strained relationship between
parents
 and children. To be more precise, children are either looked after by grandparents or are brought up in day-care centres, which minimizes their interaction with loved ones.
This
 leads to loss of affection between the two generations and can lead to behavioural issues in the family.
Secondly
, there can be a rise in the rate of addictions in
such
 kids. To cite an illustration, one of the couple working in my office who could not spend time with their teenage son, realized at a later date that he was addicted to online games which hampered his studies. To conclude, having a glance into the above explanation reveals that
although
 it is the need of the hour for both
parents
 to be working due to several factors, it can lead to problems that can have lifelong effects.

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
