Children are exposed to a lot more with video tape recorders, DVDs, video games, and television. Parents need to pay attention to what their children are watching on television. The working class now more that ever includes both parents and children are left all alone to care for themselves a majority of the day. As the article states, Parents, through divorce, longer hours of work, or their own personal troubles with drugs, depression, or life in general, have lost their place in many children s lives and do not offer such moral guidance as described above. The price of things has made it almost impossible for parents to stay home and care for their children on a full-time basis.
Children only have each other to confer about problems and growing up.
It s hard. Parents, I think, need to take the time to be interested in their children and care about what they are watching. Parents need to take an active interest in all aspects of their child s life for their child s sake.
