Lack of Parental Guidance Is Mainly Responsible

for Children Being Violent and Aggressive in
School

According to American SPCC, children who grow up in households with loving,

supportive parents have a much better chance at becoming healthy, successful
adults. But as all those who work with children know, this isn’t always the case. Many
of them have to endure abuse, neglect, and other types of bad parenting practices
each day. And this leads to serious emotional and behavioral problems that affect
them throughout the rest of their life. Because of this, a great debate has started on
how much the parents of children who end up being violent and aggressive are to
blame for their behavior.

What do you think? Is the lack of parental guidance mainly responsible for children
being violent or is there other more dominant factors that could explain child’s
aggressive behavior. Read the arguments below and leave your comment at the end.

All the Yes points:

1. Parents are too busy with their careers which leads children to seek attention
by being aggressive
2. Parents Who Abuse Their Children Set an Example of Violence
3. Authoritative Parenting is Better Than Coddling to Prevent Violent Children
4. What About Outside Sources?
5. Parents Can Prevent Violence by Spending Time With Their Kids
All the No points:
1. While a violent home or upbringing can be one contributive factor to bullism in
schools

Parents are too busy with their careers which leads

children to seek attention by being aggressive

Yes because…


Parents become increasingly busy with their job and don’t spend enough time
with their children. They don’t have time to talk to them, listen to them, know
their problems and simply don’t know their children enough. As a result
children don’t get enough attention they need and deserve so they turn to anti-
social behaviour in hope it will eventually alarm the parents and remind them
of their existence after being notified by the teachers, even if the kids have to
deal with negative consequences afterwards.

as a parent I do/did feel guilty about working and there were times when I came
home and my husband had put the kids to sleep but then I think. I had decided
once a week I will take them out for either lunch or dinner they would sit there
uncomfortable so I would start
the conversation breaking the ice. That was the best thing ever conversation with
my kids communication comes easy with them n me
