Some people express their worries about
increasing the number of child-in-kangaroo-pocket. These children are who do
not tend to be alone when they confront new challenges. However, I believe
children in these days are less dependent on their parents rather than past
children. This rationale behind the fact that spending time with parents is
declining and today's parents have less chance to have a communication with
their children.
To be first, children scarcely get a chance
to spend time with their parents nowadays, compared with past children. Current
society pushes parents work hard to survive in competition. Hence, they are too
busy to care their children themselves. It is not easy to be with, talk with, and
have a journey with their children today. It is natural that children do all
things independently. For instance, according to the result of Seoul National
University's survey, only 20 percent of children in 20 century share time with
their mother or father or both more than 3 days per week. On the other hand,
almost 1900s' children spent time with their parents, at least one of them,
more than 5.2 days per week. Likewise, there are lots of door-key children
lives in this world.
In second, parents in these days have
difficult time with their children in communication. This is because parents
have shallow understanding of young age’s culture. Parents have no enough time
to take care of their children, thus they usually let them alone. Children then
are easily to be exposed in electronic devices such as smart phone, computer,
Nintendo, and so on: this is big difference with children in the past that did
not have chances to play those things. Children gradually share their emotions
or what they think about with their friends, not parents, in time when they
play those devices together. They cannot, or might not want to, share their
thoughts with their parents because parents who do not have enough experiences
in children’s culture would not understand them. This makes children
independent earlier than children in the past.
To sum up, I firmly believe that children
nowadays are less dependent on their parents than past children. This is
because they do not have enough time to be with as well as share points to
communicate. |
