Band 6

Today, majority of children are raised by their grandparents due to the fact that their parents are busy working. To what extent do you think that it affects the whole family?

#majority #children #grandparents #fact #parents
Children
 nowadays feel much distracted and irritated by the fact that they get less attention from their
parents
.
Children
 are so delicate and are the sole responsibility of their
parents
. They easily lose heart and believe they are less valuable to their
parents
 since
parents
 are busy making their lives going on in the most comfortable setting. I believe that it affects a child's development in the most harmful way. Owning to increased prices and an inflated economy, the cost of living is so high that individual has to work anyhow, they don't have any option other than to work.
Consequently
,
parents
 have to leave their
children
 with their
grandparents
 so they can earn for their family.
This
 creates a ruckus in the minds of
children
 that money is pivotal in their parent's life and they do not love them.
Secondly
,
children
 have enormous energy. They always demand engagement from their caretakers which they don't find in their
grandparents
due to
 their old age.
Thus
,
children
 feel irritated and rather use their energy on playing games on mobile phones and watching TV cartoons.
This
 hinders the mental
as well as
 physical growth of
children
. The drawbacks of
parents
 not giving enough time to their
children
 affect the whole family adversely as
grandparents
 started to feel lethargic and they start ignoring their grandchild over the period.
On the other hand
,
children
 developed feelings that nobody loves them and on the
parents
' ,side they always remain guilty of the same. In conclusion, I can reaffirm that
children
 raised by their
grandparents
 often lack concentration and are less motivated to be engaged in physical outdoor games and are more attracted to screens. The adverse effect on the whole family results in depression, autism in
children
 and many other issues.
