In past time, traditional family, it was father who went out to work while mother was at home

taking care of their children. It seemed to be upside down compared to modern lifestyle where
parents (father and mother) are engaged to their busy life for work, making their children are
lack of attention that eventually will make them suffer from being abandoned. I strongly believe
that there are advantages of having both parents working.
Some people consider that children whose both parents are working are in an advantage. Since
both parents are working it is likely that children will go to schools with better quality along with
the supporting facilities. Parents with this kind of lifestyle stand up for their view that they will
provide anything their children needed to learn and experience of growing up. For example,
parents provide children in sport clubs or other activities which might dig up their potential in
early ages. Other than that, children will also enjoy luxurious life of their parents' wealth such as
high-tech toys or experience foreign holidays.
On the other hand, some people oppose to the first view said that the absence of parents during
children's growth will affect their character because they do not physically give attention and
support. In big city such as Jakarta, parents normally leave home in the early morning when
their children do not even wake up and they come home when their children are asleep,
meaning that parents leave their children to grow by babysitter or maid. This situation may
cause children to grow with characters like their babysitter or maid. Moreover, its negative
impact in the long run is getting serious when children are easily to get involved on such things
like drugs and underage drinking.
When I was child, both my parents were working, and I was left to babysitter. Yet since we lived
in countryside, my parents worked in town which was not too far from our house. Eventually
they did not come home late unlike those who live in big city. So, I could still play and study with
my parents.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that it cannot be avoided that both parents have to work in this
globalization era to support family's life. The situation in which parents give direct attention to
children is relatively depending on where they live. If they live in particular area where it takes
short time to get to work and get home, it will be easy for parents to turn up during children
development. However, if they live in area where it takes longer time to reach both office and
home, they should maintain how to build the relationship of parents and children. For example,
organize family (outdoorsy) activities on the weekend such as camping, playing out bond, or
cycling.

In modern society, the family unit faces attacks from every side, with practically no defense. Perhaps the fiercest
attack comes from within the household itself: lack of proper parenting.

For varying reasons, many children are growing up without the guidance they need to become productive members of
society. Parentsmost of whom do not realize itare handicapping their children and sending them into this world
ill-prepared and unbalanced.
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It is a serious commitment to rear a child into adulthood. Newborns do not
emerge from the womb knowing everything they need to know to be productive members of society. They must be
taught. From his first words to his valedictorian speech, and everything in between, it is a childs parents who are
most responsible for his development and growth

Good parenting happens when a person creates for a child a stable, nurturing home
environment, is a positive role model, and plays a positive and active part in a childs
life. Good parents provide moral and spiritual guidance, set limits, and provide
consequences for a childs behavior. Good parents accept responsibility for the total
development of the child and guide the child in making sound, healthy, life decisions
through open communication and mutual respect

faithfully supports, protects and directs his children. They both put the needs of their children ahead of their own.
Parenting is a way of life.
Parents must reassess their priorities. When you got married and decided to have children, you made the choice
whether you consciously realized it or notto give them some kind of upbringing. You brought them into this world,
and properly rearing them is your responsibility. All the physical possessions you gain in your life, the riches and the
material things, are not permanent. But your children will live on, and they, in turn, will have their own children, who
will have children, and so on. The parenting decisions you make will affect generations to come.
Determine to start where you are and do all that is within your power to teach your children everything they need to
know to become successful, happy adults. Just as traditional values have disappeared, so have the values based on
biblical principles. Be resolute in living a life of givingof outgoing concern for othersand in particular for your
children.
Make it a goal to never abandon your child in any way!

Parents play a very important role in the lives of their children. They have to build a solid
foundation for their kids in order for them to have a successful and rewarding life. The
foundation needs to be built at an early age, and needs to keep being built throughout the
child's early adolescence. The foundation of an individual can be broken down into several

different parts, such as morals, religious beliefs, political standpoints, and education, to name a
few.
The new consumary lifestyle demands both parents to work hard outside home. Probably this is
the most obvious impact of our modern society. This phenamenon has become very popular in
recent decades because many parents could be able to provide better lives for their children by
improving the economy of the family. Children can learn many things at kindergartens where
they are normally sent to by their parents at the very early stages of their life. This is also very
supportive by people who prefer their children to enter the society at childhood and grow up in a
more dynamic environment rather than in the limitation of a family. However being very
widespread, the recent way of living would slowly hurt the necessary attention the children shall
receive from their parents.

On the flip side, parents who have to work hard outside home have normally lack of time to
interact with their children. They definitely have much responsiblity at work and they are
possibly under work pressure. As a result, they should be very exhausted after a tedious daywork
and thus there is no more energy to put to their children. The childhood ages demands lot of
parential attentions to develop a healthy character inside a person. However the modern
lifestyle on the contrary, leaves no time for the parents to care their children the way it should
be. Children usually get depressed and react this flaw by committing juvenile crimes at the worst
level however.
