In my opinion,

PARENTS ARE TOO PERMISSIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN NOWADAYS


All parents love their children. Parental love is sometimes so big that it makes them blind. Parents don’t usually realize that they can hurt their children when they are too permissive for them. Young people, when they get older, they get used to having everything they want. “Easy come, easy go”- they don’t know how much effort it take to earn money or to go to work on regular basis.

From my point of view, children get spoiled and they often have problems with their personality. They may acquire drug addiction or often they commit crimes. However, if they have rich parents they often get away with these little crimes.

I don’t think my parents spoiled  me. I helped at home a lot. My main responsibility was to learn hard and get good marks at school. I helped a lot at home. I often cleaned  our house. I had my pocket money, too. However, it wasn’t as much as I wanted or needed. I didn’t have everything I wished. In the summer I worked in the garden, picked fruit and vegetables. I also helped in redecoration when it is necessary.

In my opinion this is the right way of bringing up children. Kids should know the value of money and they should be responsible for something. They should also know how much trouble it takes to make money for living.

    I agree with you, I think you have to know how to set the limits between what is given and what is allowed.

    Today's parent don't know or maybe they don't understand what parenting is about. Today's children are a mess and can't behave themselves.

    I think parents have to have control over their children, but they must also give them freedom.

    interesting opinion, the way people raise their childrens can determine the way the children will be in future for good or bad. I think it is even a political decision.

    In my opinion, children should know the value of money but I also think that children and young people have the right to enjoy.

    I think that when the parents are very permissive, the children grow up closed in a bubble and when they have that to confront the reality is probably that the "knock" hurts them

    I think that is good that parents spoil their children occasionally. But it can't become a rutine in their lives.

    I agree with you. Since i was a child i pass through that . I always had everything i wanted in the moment. It was not until I get my first part time job I was able to valorate the effort of my parents.

    I agree, I think that parents doesn´t have to let their children get used to have everything they want, because that won´t prepare them to front their life as adults.

    I think it comes a time when some children had so much free, and it's so habitual for them, that, then, is too late for do something about it. They don't realize the damage that it does.

Dear students. In this session the topic is free but themed and the theme will be about your profession. -positive aspects -benefits -why you chose it, etc. -180 words Remember your comments Changing Lives and Caring Too Much Teaching is a profession where you really can make a difference in a child’s life, oftentimes profoundly. You are with children for a good part of the day, longer than their parents are, in most cases. Young children, especially, will look at you as a role model and repeat what you say and do. You often may help a teen struggling to figure out what career path to take. You could also be lucky enough to become the teacher everyone remembers as the one who cared enough to make a difference. However, making a difference in children's lives takes tremendous dedication and hard work. Teaching can be an exhausting job; physically, mentally and emotionally. You are with other people's children longer than you are with your own family. It i
