The journey of Parenthood is not a smooth one,in modern society especially among nuclear families both the husband and wife have to slog for providing comforts for their children,in offering them best education and this scenario is applicable for single parent too.Spouses have no time for each other,work pressure and family demands and responsibilities are increased day by day. Parents set unlimited expectation from their children,right from scoring high grades to be a super duper in all extra curricular activities Children are going through lot of stress,we force them to mature at a younger age.From the concept of we to I interest has increased among individuals in the family.
Present day kids learn the aggressive behavior right from age 4, all these video games are one way of initiating the aggressive behavior .Gone are those days,when children had the opportunity to hear moral stories and code of behavior in the class. Schools have seized from a respectful educational institution to money making industry.Each school is competing with other school to prove their worth through their academic scores which in turn could bring better input in increase in no.of seats for the following academic year.Parents & Teachers have missed the importance of teaching human values to students."What we sow is what we reap".
