Essay:

It is true that today’s lifestyle has changed to feed the development of society. However, I personally think that present parents spend less time for their children than they did in the past.

On one hand, when looking back at the past, I frankly deem families as indeed close-knits, and parents play a vital role on raising as well as educating young people. In a traditional family, father works hard at his job to provide for the whole family while mother is the stay-at-home one and responsible for bringing up the kids. Apparently, mother knows children well as a friend and teaches children much as a teacher. For example, she could play doll games with her daughter or usually read to her son to ensure he gains literacy skills. Unlike mother, in spite of seeing kids irregularly, father takes care of children by teaching them self-discipline and protecting them from social evils.

On the other hand, it may be the case that modern’s parents pay less attention to their daughters and sons than they did in the past. With the gender equality in today’s society, both men and women have their own careers to pursuit that not allow them adequate time for their family. Because of parents’ shortage of talking and sharing time with their kids, the misunderstanding between family members probably is more serious that pushes children far away from parents, and makes them easily to be the victims of dangerous manipulators. Moreover, the increasing divorce rate or the single-mom trend has the potential to make youngsters lack parental care and feel lonely.

In conclusion, present lifestyle generally causes the insufficiency of parental care for children. Nevertheless, irrespective of past or present, children should be paid full attention by their parents.

Agree with this statement because:
- Nowadays both of the parents concentrate on their works -> they hire babysitters and spend little time to play with their children -> the children feel depressed due to lack of parental care.
- To gain the best learning outcomes -> parents compel their children to join in extracurricular classes, but they do not understand the ability of their children.


In modern society, people’s lifestyles have had significant differences as compared with those of the past. Many people think that this is a negative impact on children because their parents do not sufficient time to pay attention to them. From my own perspective, I strongly agree with this opinion due to the following reasons.

Firstly, many years ago, the husbands was usually considered the bread winner in the family while the wives stayed at home the whole day to look after their babies, so children always received much attention from their mothers. In contrast, nowadays both of the parents often concentrate on their works because of economic pressure. It is difficult to find out the selfless young mothers who give up their job to stay at home to look after their children. Most parents hire babysitters to take care their kids, and they just spend little time to play with their children. The children, as a result, feel depressed due to lack of parental care.

Secondly, pressure of learning achievement is also a problem. In the past, after finishing school children are usually encouraged to go to leisure centers or to participate in outdoor activities, but now this situation seems no longer to exist. To gain the best learning outcomes, parents can compel their sons and daughters to join in extracurricular classes to learn all day. They expert their children to be professors or doctors in the future, but they do not understand about the age physiology and psychology, that means each child has her/his own pace of development.

In conclusion, modern lifestyles make parents busy in their work, so they are unable to provide sufficient care for their babies. This leads to negative effects on the growing up of children. For this reason, I think that parents should be aware of their responsibility towards their children so that the children can have a sound development.

Outline: Disagree
- Parent nowadays:
Because of economic pressure => the parents have to spend more time on works => they hire a babysitters to look after their kids but still show your attention to their kids through family camping, memory parties...=> they still can control children’s development and lead them to good things.

- Children nowadays:
At school, nowadays the learning environment is increasingly comparative => children become more self-made.
Moreover, after finishing all lessons at school, children would attend other soft-skill training courses such as English class, arts or dancing…=> help children comprehensive developing personality.

Content
There are those who maintain that the more society develops, the less people spend time on their children, which make children become worsen. However I do not agree that all the reasons are caused by the parent.

Firstly, although economic pressure forces most parents spend more time on works, they still care their children. For some unimportant tasks such as taking children to school, cooking meal, they hire a babysitter to look after their kids. Althought they have a littler time for having meal and play with their kids, they still pay attention to their sons and daughters through extra-curricular activities like family camping, memory parties, which could enhance the family love. So that they still could control children’s development and lead them to good things.

Secondly, nowadays the learning environment is increasingly comparative, which make children become more self-made. In the past, children went to school with their mother and then came home with many exercises which would be done by their mother later. It seems to be good for both children and parent but not true because it makes children become passive. Sometimes kids give the decision without consultancy of adults, and the consequence is not quite good. This is the reason why someone blames the bad results on parent but it is not fair. Moreover, after finishing all lessons at school, children would attend other soft-skill training courses such as English class, arts or dancing…, which would help children comprehensive developing personality.
In conclusion, modern life may make parent spend less time to their children but we couldn’t blame the worsen situation of modern children on them.

OUTLINE

Agree :
- Parents : Have to work full time => No time for children
Ex: Woman traditional stayed at home to cook and take care children, but now both man and woman have to working full time
- Children : Learn to much => go to class both morning and afternoon, even evening => parents have not much chance to talk with them
+ Attend some clubs, social activities => little time for parents and good way to develope themself => not get much attention from their parents.

In modern life, many parents have little time for their children, and the children therefore do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past. Personally, I agree with this statement because of some reasons followed.

Firstly, In a traditional family only the man had to work and the woman stayed at home to cook and take care children, so it seems clearly that the children had a full attention from their parents. But now, in the model life, that seems inconsistent for parents because of their working full time. Day by day they go to work while the children is sleeping and back home at the time the children go to bed, so it's easy to understand that the children don't have much attention from their parents.

Secondly, the children in the past just went to school in the morning and stayed at home to assist parents with housework in the afternoon and then finished homework in the evening. Almost time of day they spent at home, and the parents therefore could take care their children easily. The children in present are not so because all day they have to go to school both morning and afternoon and even attend class overtime in the evening, so the parents therefore would not have much time to pay attention to their children regularly much as in the past.

Thirdly, the children in model life are more independent and active than before. They often attend several clubs or participate in social activities, so they spend most of their time for friends not for parents, and their parents also think that's good way for their personal development. That's one of the reasons why the children do not get as much attention from their parents as the children did in the past.

In conlusion, because of some reasons presented below I personal suppose that in the modern life the parents should take the time to pay attention more to their children.

Totally agree with the statement because:
- In the past, the mothers usually stay home to take care children. Nowadays both mothers and fathers go to work -> Children are not taken care of properly -> Suffer many problems.
- Nowadays many parents falsely think that they have to support their children with materialistic items and that's the best for their kids -> They focused on the idea without actually care about their children -> Children suffer.

Along with the development of the society, nowadays it is often the case that parents get carried away with their careers and neglect their children. Personally, I completely agree that this is a drawback of the modern lifestyle and it would leave various negative effects on children.

In the past, usually the mothers stayed at home to take care of the children. Therefore, the kids always had someone to look after them, to give them guidance and to encourage them to do the right things. However, nowadays both mothers and fathers have desire to pursue their careers, and many of them get too busy to care about their children. As a result, the kids would not have their own parents to talk with or to get advices from, and this explains why today there are many children having depression, difficulty in communication or being prone to harmful things.

On the other hand, nowadays in the materialistic lifestyle, many parents falsely think that it is their most important duty to earn money to support their children. They try their best to provide their kids with expensive schools, luxury clothes, high-end equipments while they actually pay decreasing attention to their children. However, in the past or the present, the most vital thing that kids need from their parents is how their parents are there for them, share with them, get to understand them and guide them through life. If parents failed to do so, children would certainly feel lonely and hard to develop a healthy character.

In conclusion, regardless of how busy modern life is, every parent should spend time to take care of their children. (274 words)

Outline :
Agree. Because:
-In the past ->earn enough money to live -> more time free
-> education had not focused -> parents teach
-> more attention
-Nowadays -> earn a lot of money -> little time
-> difficult update information
-> less attention
-Children not attention -> not feel the love of parents
-> social network -> problems
-> suffer
It is true that everything has its two faces. Although modern life gives great convenience, it seems that many people have little time for their children and the children become suffer.
On the one hand, in the past, the purpose of human life is simple. They just want to earn enough money to live; thus, the parents have more free time and they would usually focus on looking after their children. If the parents have not worked at the weekend, they would spend more time to teach the children carefully. In addition, when education had not focused the children would usually be taught by their mum or dad; hence, the children in the past get more attention from their family than the time others.
On the other hand, nowadays, in the era when the society development is becoming more and more quickly, money becomes important. That means most of people spend more time to earn a lot of money to increase their family. So, they would have little time to take care of their children. Furthermore, the parents must get new information through Internet, television, newspaper to understand their children, their development and their needs. It is important for parents to understand their children, their development, their needs but they would find it difficult to find that information.
Besides, the children who do not get attention from their parents are suffered. Firstly, they may not feel the love of their parents because the parents are too busy to express their feelings for the children. Secondly, they would usually have problems in life and they can be easily damaged. For example, in modern life, a child can join to social network websites and chatting with strangers who maybe the bad people.
