Adolescents these
days
 spent lesser
time
 with their
parents
 and are more connected with their friends and spreads much
time
 with them. I think it is the generation gap and busy schedules of
parents
 which leads to
this
. I personally don'
t
 agree that
parents
 should force their
children
 to spend
time
 with them.
Children
 these
days
 spend the majority of their
time
 with their friends and youngsters in their circle. One of the main reasons is the age gap between
parents
 and young ones. They feel they are not heard or understood by their
parents
 most of the
time
. Young people
also
 feel that adults don'
t
 vibe well with them and can not offer them much fun.
For instance
,
children
 these
days
 spend major
time
 on social media and creating reels and videos. Meanwhile, Most
parents
 don'
t
 resonate well with
this
 activity and find it childish to take videos with the new generation.
Furthermore
,
parents
 don'
t
 find much
time
 to spend with their
children
, they are mostly busy. Adults these
days
 are busy pursuing their careers, making money and chasing prospects. They are less likely to spend
time
 with their little ones or allocate family
time
. To exemplify,
children
 see their
parents
 busy with work or household tasks,
therefore
, they don'
t
 get attention from their
parents
.
As a result
,
children
 try to engage their spare
time
 with friends and seek attention from their external circles. In my opinion,
parents
 should not force their
children
 to remain at home or set boundaries in their social circles,
this
 would only bring hatred and youngsters would act rebellious.
Whereas
,
parents
 should pamper
children
 with love and make
children
 feel that spending
time
 with family is important and
parents
 appreciate it. Summing up, families have to make
children
 understand the importance of spending
time
 with families not by forcing them, but by showing affection and providing attention towards them through activities they value.
