It is currently believed that children's behavior and misconduct is due to the lack of strict discipline and punishment applied by parents. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#children #behavior #misconduct #lack #discipline #punishment #parents
Without a doubt,
children
 are the backbone of any society and the future of any country.
Therefore
, they should be well-shaped to grow up into dynamic individual thinkers who
work
 for the development of their countries. Nowadays it is said that
parents
 are not strict enough which affects
children
's behaviour and misconduct. In
this
 essay I will shed light on
this
 perception and my opinion will be elaborated at the end with a logical conclusion. In the earlier days, life was simple and less complicated than today only one of the
parents
 had to
work
 to provide financial support for his family.
However
, in the contemporary,era our needs are in increasing every day and both
parents
 have to
work
 to support their families.
Consequently
, today
parents
 don't have enough time to spend with their
children
 and they tried to substitute their absence by buying new games for them, or by extending the time they should spend on the Internet.
As a result
 of economic-financial problems that have been widely spread recently,
parents
 have become busy and youngsters have become uncontrolled due to a lack of discipline from their
parents
.
On the other hand
,
children
's education shouldn't rely only on
parents
, it should be a shared responsibility between
parents
 and
schools
. To elaborate
further
,
schools
 are the
first
 place where
children
 learn valuable things not only related to academic lessons but
also
 moral values that will help them when they grow up to be good citizens. These moral codes include discipline and respect for others' actions and feelings. Thereby, even if
parents
 are busy teachers at
schools
 should provide kids with values that would help them to behave well. In conclusion, I believe that
parents
 should be friends with their
children
 friendly and strict with them at the same time.
However
, I don't think they should punish them by beating
this
 would have a bad impact on their mind and feelings.
Additionally
,
schools
 should
work
 with
parents
 side to side to raise good citizens.
