Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children suffer because they do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past.

The way of life today can be dedicated exclusively for work. Nowadays, a lifestyle suggests a job for the betterment of status in life or a career to define one's power over the society. In comparison, living in early years were more focused in family matters than in latter years. I therefore accede with the statement that a child is more likely to face neglect by their parents.

One of the common problem a family encounters is a lack of money. Financial incapabilities forces both parents to work on regular basis. This situation leaves a child on daycare institution or babysitters at home resulting a deficient nurture from parents. This period may be dangerous to their childen as a substitute for parental supervision is jeopardized.
On contrary, family before lived a simplier life. With conventional role in the family, a mother only stays at home to maintain a house and to guide her child. Expenses before were much frugal and a single parent can establish a stable income for his family. Children's need for affection and guidance have been attained with these reasons.

In conclusion, leaving a children in neglect to satisfy today's modern lifestyle may endanger their lives. A parental guidance is so powerful that must be establish in a child's life. Both parents must think on alternative solution to accomodate a child's attention to rightful growth and affection.

Many of us in this fast paced life find ourselves very much engrossed in different kinds of lifestyles.Staying all day out in work and and trying to find a financial support for the family all adds up the stresses that are encountered on daily basis.That pattern of life is definitely going to affect our children behavior,development and sense of confidence.

Nowadays both parents don't have the time for their children and spending much time with them seemed difficult if not impossible.Contrary to the past where one of the parents had to stay home and look after the children and providing a source of nurturing that is difficult to find nowadays for today's children.Children at early age needs an attention and guidance that would shape their career and build their self confidence.Sometimes,parents need to be part of the discipling process and knowing your child attitude and behavior is very crucial.Sometimes you find that both parents working and their children responsibility being left to the daycares where sometimes the direct and the most important step in building essential virtues and values are ignored.By running around and working all day parents sometimes forget about their most essential role as caregivers.

The child sense of development begins at an early stage if not finding a good understanding and available parent that sense would never been achieved.For that parents should try to get close and try to find useful ways of contributing more to that essential step in their child life.I remember that when I was young where I found my mother being involved with me in every sense that really impacted my life and strengthen my character. .On the other hand I remember that one of my cousins whose mother didn't find a time for him became very lonely, and unproductive that made him not appreciating so many things in life.

The child biggest asset is his confidence that is really going to have a very big role in defining his/her career.For parents to try to build that confidence in a child is very rewarding both emotionally and physically.If both parents find some free time to their children they should always encourage them with words of appreciation and approval for anything that matter to them.It is really unfair to just ignore your child needs and try to achieve yours,I know that life could be difficult without the financial support, but the biggest role of parents in life should be accomplished first.

In conclusion,neglecting children and not responding to their basic needs is unfair.Thus,it will definitely lead to many unwanted results that will affect their development, their behavior, and their sense of confidence.
