Failure to Parent

It seems that children have run amok these days as badly behaved, poorly disciplined, and out-of-control children can be seen just about everywhere in society. It is difficult to enjoy the park, the cafe, or the movies without having to deal with children’s and young adult’s abhorrent speech and rebellious attitude. Schools have become increasingly dangerous as insubordinate and disrespectful children fill the classrooms. It was reported that in 2009 approximately 46,000 primary pupils were either suspended or expelled from school, and 4,000 of these children were less than 5 years of age. Many people would like to blame an immoral society for the lack of discipline and respect apparent in these children, but I will dare to say that it is not society’s job to raise these children. Parents cannot fault anyone for their child’s bad behaviour other than themselves.

Because of modern day parents’ failure to adequately and properly parent their children, children have taken it upon themselves to establish rules of right and wrong. It is not the responsibility of the schools, the babysitter, the nanny, or the government to instill values and morals in children. While all of these individuals and organizations can confirm these values and morals, it is the parents’ job to teach and discipline their children. As much as children fight against rules and established boundaries, they desperately need rules and boundaries as they provide children with a sense of security and set limitations. Without rules and boundaries, children will be scared, angry, and resentful – just as we see that many children are today.

Parents need to step-up and take responsibility for their children. Parents need to look at themselves and see where they have failed as parents. Parents need to be honest with them. If parents have put work, holiday, or anything else before the needs of their children, this lack of time and attention will be evident in their child’s behaviour and attitude. Disrespectful, arrogant, rebellious, angry, depressed, withdrawn, and uncontrollable children are the direct result of a parent’s failure to do their most basic job – parent their children.
