Steemit Engagement Challenge (SEC) WK14:#1: Neglect in families, effects on kids

in hive-139765 •  last year  (edited)

Parenting is a lot of work and that is why I sometimes advise that anyone who is not ready to have a child should not try it. We have seen so many parents who create maximum time for their children by making sure that the kids are doing well. At the same time, there are some parents who do not even care about the welfare of the children. They just want to have fun and all. My write up today will be focused on the people who neglect their responsibilities. There are a few questions for me and I’d give an answer based on my opinion.

What does neglect of responsibilities mean in a family?

This means an act of ignoring the things that you are supporting do in your family. Neglect of responsibility is when you prioritize the wrong things at the detriment of the right things. For example, we all know that it is the responsibility of a parent to pay their children’s school fees. Some parents don’t pay and instead, they choose to go to clubs and lavish money on expensive drinks. That’s a perfect example of neglecting responsibility in a family.

Have you been neglected or seen anyone neglected? What are the effects on kids?

Luckily for me, I have never for once be neglected by anyone. Well, I have seen kids who are neglected. I’m a teacher and sometimes I’m my class, some of my pupils complain to me about their kids neglecting them. Some parents don’t even help these kids with their homework.

They are still little and can barely do anything for themselves. It is really bad and the effects on kids is that they may not feel loved. If a child does not feel loved and begins to think that his parents dislike him, it may cause hatred between parents and child so we have to be careful.

Your advice to parents who neglect their responsibilities towards their kids.

My advice is that they should always create time for their kids so that they can feel loved. This is because of the future. There are some children who make reference to the bad things their parents have done to them in the past and they begin to act up.
For this not to happen, we have to make sure that we have time for our kids and make sure that we perform our responsibilities on them. Even the Lord will bless any parent who takes good responsibilities on their kids.
They should also make sure that they plead with their kids on what has happened and explain the reason to them.

Your advice to the kids who are neglected

I feel it will be better to have a talk with their parents. That way, their parents may be able to explain the reason they usually neglect them and know the way forward.

And no matter what, they should make sure that they keep loving their parents.

I enjoy your reading your post. I believe enlightenment will really help the parents as most of them due to their jobs are unaware that they are failing in their respective responsibility.

Hello friend greetings to you, hope you are having good time there.

Luckily you are not being neglected by any one. You said you have experienced such cases because you are a teacher and some of your students complain you about it. Dear friend must guide them and give too much time to such kids. They really need your support at that time.

It's really nice to read your post. Best of luck in the contest dear.
