Child Behavior Is Worst Today

Introduction

Children are God's blessings that He showers upon us. A family having children is blessed and gifted, while at the same time at risk from dangers outside the home. It is the family's responsibility to take care of the children and provide them with all the comforts of the world (Westen, 1991). There are a number of practioners outside the household, which can contribute to safeguarding children from all sorts of potential dangers.

From parents to the general public, almost everyone is observing a change in today's children in terms of behavior compared to their childhood years. One evident theme is that child behavior has changed now compared to the way it was several years. The main question however remains on which direction the behavior has changed.

Engaging in a debate regarding on whether child behavior have become better or worse will lead you to experiencing rather tough comments that are either blaming parents or that are too hard on children behavior. Child behavior has no doubt become worse than it was several years ago. From the mere complaints by parents and the public to more concrete evidence, one is left with no doubt that today 's child is portraying a worse behavior pattern compared to a child some years ...
