Children Behavior Worse Than 10 Years Ago

It is truth that child behavior today is worse than years ago. There is a tendency for children today to be more aggressive than ever before. The media is extensive with reports of children doing drugs and exhibiting violent behavior. In essence children are less disciplined today than they were years ago. There are number of reasons for the decline in children’s but one of them stands out, and it might even be at the heart of all the others: laxity on the part of parents. Parental laxity has swung open the floodgates harmful factors which have in effect compromised children’s sense of morality and discipline. By reneging on their responsibilities, parents have denigrated the significance of the family as the source of primary socialization (Schultz, 2012). Sociologists profess that behavior is learnt through a process known as socialization. Primary socialization, as differentiated from secondary socialization, occurs during the formative years of a child (Schultz, 2012). It takes place through the child observing and learning from those around him. Through this process a child is taught the type of behavior which elicits approval or disapproval from the people around them, usually the immediate. It is therefore important that at an early age a child observes and learns the right things, preferably from their family members. Unfortunately, parents have not been there to accomplish this process . More over, the institution of the family in the US has been under siege (Schultz, 2012). Children are being brought up in broken families; or they are forced to go through the agonies of living apart from either of their parents In sum, parents have not been there to give their children the attention and guidance they need. Parents have not prepared their children on how to deal with the manner in which society today has been questioning authority. True at the heart of this is a clarion call for “personal independence” which has become rampant in the public domain children. And yes these behaviors are in reflection of our own changing view of authority and authority figures children. Indeed, the manner in which people have questioned the motives of the lawyers, bankers, politicians has been so unprecedented when compared to the way parents did ten or so years ago children. This Generation needs to be taught on how to be without being disrespectful Children. The schools on which parents have entrusted the responsibility of nurturing their children. Parents have done nothing the right way to help their children’s. The schools have not been very good at shaping the children’s moral character either . The teachers assume that children are taught such things as table manners, good neighborhood at their respective homes. Indeed, children’s bad behavior has made teaching such an hard job. Most teachers agree that the number of problem children has increased in recent decades. and the problems are showing up in increasingly younger children making teaching a tougher job. The children are not learning well they are inappropriate language and are not following direction. Instead of schools nurturing the behaviors of children they have been telling parents to talk to their children every day encourage their children to tell them if they have had any issues with other children. Even as the parents have taken a backseat in matters concerning the upbringing of their children up the right way but nothing have changed
