53 Impacts Of Poor Parenting On The Collapsing Global Society

-

 

 

 

 

 

 


 The family is the smallest unit of the global society. It consists of husband, wife and child (children). The good and evil activities of the world all begin at the family levels. The future of the world depends on the children. If this is true, it therefore behooves all parents to do the needful by embarking on proactive good parenting practices so as to raise children which will make the world a co-habitable place.

Against this backdrop, however, many parents have failed woefully in their responsibilities of good parenting. Hence, the negligence of appropriate parenting is the single greatest cause of terrorism, armed robbery, banditry, insurgency, arson, bribery and corruption, prostitution, hard drug trafficking, drinking and smoking addictions and other social vices buffeting the world.

Parents are the eyes through which children see the world. A child can only believe in himself/ herself if the parents first believe in him/ her. That was why John Maxwell said that, "A child has no clear picture of himself. He sees himself through the eyes of his parents. Everything in the environment: people, cultures, languages, activities and social engagements are all totally strange to a child. 

If their parents are good, they tend to be good like them. If their parents are unfriendly and hostile to people, they will learn to unfriendly and hostile to everybody too. Children believe that their parents are exactly what the world is. To them, their parents are the truest definition of the world. They believe unflinchingly that everyone is exactly like their parents. For this reason, it is imperative that all parents in the world spend quality time daily to teach their children morals, values, ideals, good mannerisms, etiquettes and civic responsibilities. If parents fail to do this, the children will continue to burn the world.

Menace Of Parental Estrangement In The World

Parental estrangement is a painful and complex issue that affects millions of families across all latitudes of the world, with disastrous implications for emotional distress, social isolation, loneliness, and long-lasting consequences for elderly parents, and their adult children. Wherever you go, you will see lonely elderly parents who lack food, clothes, shelter, and healthcare delivery services. Their adult sons and daughters are in the cities of their own countries, or have even migrated to other far away countries in quest of greener pastures to survive. Their hungry and helpless aged parents at the rural areas are depending on them for survival, whereas their children in the cities are earnestly struggling to succeed in the face of harsh economic conditions. Many of these adult children in the cities who have elderly parents at home are unemployed. Many of them receive very small wages at the end of the month. Their wages are unable to meet the financial needs of the nuclear fami...

Coping With A Resistant And Toxic Partner In The Family

-
Image
 Family dynamics are complex and challenging issues, especially when dealing with a resistant and toxic husband or wife. The emotional toll of living under the same roof with someone who is resistant to change and toxic in conducts and behaviours can be very painful and frustrating, affecting not only the involved spouse but also the children and other family members. A resistant and toxic partner can exhibit behaviours such as emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and blame-shifting. A resistant and toxic husband or wife is always right ( in his/ her own evaluation and reasoning), unwilling indeed to take responsibility of his/ her actions. Rather than coming down from his/ her high horse to apologize for his/ her fault, he/ she will begin to shift the blame to the partner or any other member of the family. He or she feels that he/ she cannot do anything wrong or faulty. This behaviour can be incredibly damaging, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem....
