II. TOPIC: In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents to go out to work.
While some say the children in these families benefit from the traditional income, others feel they lack
support because of their parents’ absence. Discuss both these views and give your own opinions.
In the business-driven culture nowadays, in order to adopt all of the so-called symbols of advanced
life, in many families; both parents have to work hard all day long for their children to enjoy the best. It’s true
that those children benefit from the joint income and the same, those grew up lacking parental support, and
this practice is creating a negative feedback loop.
On the first note, one of the external influences on a child’s development is economic status; children
in impoverished or low-income families are, often times, more prone to emotional difficulties than other
children because parents have limited resources to address the children’s needs as an asset to a child’s overall
development. Therein, the income of parents is directly influential in the quality of care as well as of life a
child has. So out of the love for their children, willy-nilly, both parents have no choice but work outside.
However, gaining higher economic status does not guarantee better child development, in return to
this, something must be lost. Parents with the help of close emotional bonds with children will be able to
enhance a child’s motivation to comply with rules and requests and is associated with positive long term-
outcomes so that they will grow up more independent, emphatic, and socially competent. Secure attachments
to parents will underpin a child for positive, self-fulfilling expectations about other people which he will take
into future relationships.
In an evolving culture where parents spend more time working and less time with their child, the
child’s overall development is the one to suffer- the long-term implications of which not yet fully realized. Yet,
it is important to step back and consider the quality of the current cultural environment and the ill-developed
children it may produce, obviously this leads to the disability to handle relationships and the child fail to
function better both socially and professionally, and this may impact generation after generation.
Children need their parents to be affectionate, caring beings, whether working parent or stay-home
parent; it doesn’t matter much. What really counts is that the parent loves the child, fosters secure attachments
with her child and fathoms of what the child’s needs are. Otherwise, it is society that bears the consequences;
its citizens are all ill- developed ones.
