Question

Answer The following question after reading passage Read the following passage carefully:

We often have parents cribbing about how difficult it is to manage children these days. Too many parties, excessive extravagance, too much pocket money, less attention towards studies……… in fact an unending list of woes. But why is this the case these days? Have parents ever given it a thought? Putting a child in a good school or in a good college, buying them a motorcycle or a car, giving them lots of pocket money and letting them do just what they feel like will never be the end of this problem. There is more to it. The basic need of a growing child is love, attention, companionship which should be first given at home. It is not true that once the child grows up, he or she should not be cared about. The right amount of independence should be given, their individuality should be respected and they should be treated on a par with adults. Problems with children have started increasing nowadays. Years ago these problems were not as complex as they are today. These days, we have more nuclear families than joint families. There are too many reasons for it. The younger generation complains of losing their independence while the older generation cribs about the generation gap. Too many expenses to meet and different lifestyles led by each one! But what about the generations before us? Our grandmothers also lived in joint families, but they had nothing to crib about. There was perfect harmony between generations. May be people were not as independent-minded as they are today. With extreme economic pressures, it becomes essential for both the husband and wife to work to cover exorbitant house rents, children’s education, expenses of keeping a servant and high living standards. In the commercial world full of competition and the theory of the survival of the fittest, one hardly has time for oneself and one’s children. This often makes children rowdy. In a joint family, even if the parents are not there, grandparents make up for their absence. Though a nuclear family has its positives, there are a couple negatives to them too. A school going girl once said that she was left all by herself after she came back from school as her parents were out working and had no time. So, the problem is not only with the working parents. The main problem is neglecting a child.
