Neglect of responsibility in family is when a family (parents most times) fails to acknowledge the basic need and warfare of a child. It can be material or non Material. It can be neglecting the emotional need of a child. It is failure to perform the right due to a member of a family.

Neglect is often showed in different areas of the child's life. It can be in his academics, emotional life, physical life(proper nutrition, shelter and clothing)

Its effect and trauma last even till the child grows into adulthood.

Yes, I have seen so many children neglected by their parents.
Here are some effects neglect have on the kids

•Low Self Esteem: So many children that were neglected by their parents are often known for their low self esteem, they often don't want to mingle with their peers because they haven't been given sufficient or any attention from home

•Damaged Childhood: Children with neglect often don't have good childhood memories. It feels like they were robbed off childhood. They can even suffer PSTD and trauma from the hurt they faced during their childhood.

•Poor Relationship with Parents and People: These neglected children do joy have good communication and relationship with their parents or anyone else. Even when they grow up, they still have very few and shallow communication to with their parents.

My Advice for parents who neglect their responsibilities towards their kids are
•Seek for Help: Help can be in form of professional or therapist because it can be as a result of the parents having the same upbringing
•Delegate office work or house chores to others so you can have more time to spend with your children and family.
•Time a time out with your kids constantly. You can go on vacation, dance lessions, swimming, with them. This will build a strong bond between you and them

Your advice to the kids who are neglected

My Advice to the kids who are neglected are

•Speak Out: Sometimes, parents don't know their children are being neglected until they speak out and voice it out. It is far better to speak out than die in silence
•Get therapy: Seeking the help of a therapist will go a very long well to heal emotional damage.
•Relearn and Unlearn

Conclusion

It is important to know that children need all the attention they can get during their childhood because this is their formulative stage. Any form of neglect during this time can form a big hole and damage to their entire life.

Parents can do better by seeking professional help, taking time out with their kids for a stronger bond between them

Hello @beewrites
It's indeed so true how the effect of neglect could tell on a child so fast it could cause low self esteem and also a host of other problems too for them in which PTSD could be a major part of their problems. These parents needs to find a therapist or other approaches like delegating work to others so they can be with their kids. Success in the challenge
