Disrespectful Children in Today’s Society

Why are children more disrespectful today then twenty years ago? This could be caused by a number of things. Children who feel they aren’t being herd or treated fairly. Children who feel they don’t get enough attention. And the way parents choose to discipline and raise their children. It seems to me that children’s behavior has drastically changed within the last twenty years due to parenting choices. I speculate that if parents spent more time with their children and disciplined them at a young age their behavior would not be as out of control as it is. In today’s society parents are not spending enough time with their children, or even disciplining them. Parents could be doing things such as home work, bed time routines, or even something so little as having a meal with them. Instead parents are to busy working, watching TV or just to tired to do anything. So in result of that the children do what ever they want, which causes the negative behavior. Parents could change this by reading a book at bed time or even playing a game, even watching a movie together as a family once a week. All it takes is a little interaction with one’s child. Trying to discipline one’s child in today’s society may be a little harder than it was twenty years ago. Twenty years ago parents were able to spank their children with out being accused of abuse. Today if a parent spanks their child their being “abusive”. society is making parents afraid to punish their children. Parents who avoid discipline harm not only the child but also society. By disciplining one’s child is teaching the child self-respect and willingness to take responsibility for their own actions. Discipline is kind of a way of showing a child that the parent cares and love them. Disrespect is a big issue in today’s society. Disrespect is every where. Parents are disrespectful to each other. Cartoons, for example in (Sponge Bob Square Pants) Squid ward is rude and disrespectful to Sponge Bob. Children learn what
