Busy parent

[bluet]

In some rich families, especially those who live in a big house or a skycraper apartment, there are some cases where the children is closer with the nanny than the parents themself. What do you think about it?

[bowman]

I would say, unworthy to be called a right parent. No family happiness can come when both the parents run after money leaving their children with nannies. There is no better satisfaction to a mother than to see her children grow up in front of her. She should atleast be there when the children return from school.

[Tompkins]

That's sad but true, and it's not only in rich families.
Also on families which the parents have 2 or even more jobs each.
The bad thing is, those children will probably treat their children the same way when they grow up.

very sad to hear such things.... not only in rich family , it mostly happen in upper middle class,middle class,lower middle class where both father & mother go for work so the children stay with their nanny & spend most of their time ... Children become depressed & start hate their parents

[goutham]

very sad but it is true....it is not only in rich families.it is also in middle class where both the parents goes to work and children will be alone in the house and they will be
depressed because of this

[martin612999]

yes their are very rich families children taking care by nanny. and that children feel miss their parents at every time. because they do not get the love of their parents. they get love on only nanny. they going to wrong way if the parents do not see them.

it depends upon the priorities of parents but one thing is for sure that such children are not that close to their parents. such children have a greater chance of having depression and getting involved in drugs and crime.

well this is a very big problem in metro cities where the child don't go well with their parents because he feel neglected in some manner......

[khassa]

parents shouldn't neglect the child because of this reason...he is small enough to understand whether the thing is right or wrong...so the parents should avoid smoking and tell their child the aftereffects of this....

Well there is no such kind of situation in Pakistan coz there are only one person who feed the whole family.. Women does not work (around 10% only work) so kids always attach with them rather than nanny

[akshaykalia]

this is a very bad practice where both the parents are working and don have time to raise their own kids..kids miss on good quality time with their parents and don make that 'special' bond with them..if the parents are not there for their children when they need them the most, i don think they can ever come close to them later in life...

[iZack]

Well its there lifestyle so i say
let them live there life style..

If people are making much money - they need to spend much time to their works. This is a cost of being rich, I guess. But anyway, this is really bad to their childrens and they recentely became drugs addicted of they easy life and no parents control.

[Mick]

This is really sad as the child will not have any much interection with the parents ,this could lead to various problems such as drug abuse ,sexual abuse and other types of abuses

[srk]

yes,its true.In those kinds of family all the members go in seek of money they dont care about thier children.They think they can attain everything with money.But in reality its not the case.Money is not everything,affection is the one which makes ones life better and happier.And will make on to fly in heights.

Hello all,

It is very important to give time to your children's but at the same time they should be independent.. no matter if they are spending times with nanny whole day but a reasonable time should be given everyday to show the affection and concern.. this will help surely

[vandy02]

It is very difficult for those parents who are in service as employees to manage their household and office.They cannot give necessary time for their family and remain involved in their work.Children feel lonely and the effect comes in their nature or daily routine life.Either one of the parent must give full attention on the growth of his child.Children need mother's love.So parents must be alert on this.

[ENGLISH]

Its not in the size of the home rather it depends on the parent't work culture if both the parents are employed they might not find much time to spend with their children.This fast growing world needs both the parent to be employed to run their life in this competitive world. At least the parents should show affection after their work and make themselves available for the kid.Show your affection by gifting them with what they really like :)

Hello
Do you panic when your child comes home from school asking for help with his or her science fair project? Do you ever wonder how you can help your child learn science? You are not alone. Many parents—especially those who didn't pursue careers in science—may be apprehensive, sometimes even fearful, about this endeavor.

We commend you for your desire to help guide and support your children in their education, specifically in the field of science. Science is a way of understanding the world, a perspective, and a pattern of thinking that begins in the very early years. That is why parent involvement is so important in a child's science education.

Families who explore together nurture great young scientists! Studies show that the family experiences that students bring to school are some of the biggest predictors of success . With this in mind, the National Science Teachers Association has created a set of resources for parents.

See science everywhere. Parents can take opportunities to ask "What would happen if …?" questions or present brainteasers to encourage children to be inquisitive and seek out answers. Children need to know that science isn't just a subject, but it is a way of understanding the world around us.

Children tend to continue a behavior when it is rewarded and stop a behavior when it is ignored. Consistency in your reaction to a behavior is important because rewarding and punishing the same behavior at different times confuses your child. When your child's behavior is a problem, you have 3 choices:

* Decide that the behavior is not a problem because it's appropriate to the child's age and stage of development.
* Attempt to stop the behavior, either by ignoring it or by punishing it.
* Introduce a new behavior that you prefer and reinforce it by rewarding your child.

This is very right things and the right information about the rich family and the busy parents with their work.I can also say that in the rich family children have to pass their time with the nanny apart from the parents.Because of that they have to suffer from some problems.

[harrypalmerr]

Being parents it is duty to spend time with the child. When you are back home then leave all the work worries and tensions aside. Give your full attention on the child. Ask your child what all he did in school, also while playing outside with friends. Help them solve their doubts and confusions in homework. Be a philosopher and guide but first of all a Best Friend. Spend your weekends with them only planning in advance of an outing.
