Examples Of Disengaged Parents
I think that there are some jobs that make it harder for parents to be more engaged with their children. Jobs that require you to travel for work, working nights, and jobs that require you to be on call. All of the listed examples will lead to disengaged parents. I have a few personal examples from my own family that I can use. My father is a veterinarian and does on calls. With this job he would get home around 7 p.m. and then would have to go into work throughout the evening and night depending on what came up. Sometimes he would have to leave during dinner where he would miss out on us children talking about our days, he also wouldn't be there to help us with our homework. Another example is my aunt who works for Chevron. Her job requires

    A change in employment can alter a parent’s income, working hours, travelling time and energy levels; which will ultimately affect all family members. Parents may have to adjust routines in order to meet their new demands, this could include making dinner later because they are required to work back later. Children may also have to take on additional responsibilities for the parent’s to cope with the change. For instance, the eldest sibling might have to watch their younger siblings after school before their parents return home from work, or may have to give up leisure and sporting activities as the parent’s working hours may not accommodate for it. The other parent may be required to take on more roles too, such as cooking dinner or taking children to and from activities on certain…

    Working class parents can not find it in their schedules to reserve time for looking after children. In addition, parents who work in jobs that pay minimum wage or below “are caught in a double bind. The lower their earnings, the more inflexible their job.” Parents cannot afford to lose their job over trying to supervise their children. Especially when they work in jobs that they could easily be laid off and replaced.…

    These parents are also known as the “uninvolved parents”, and uninvolved is exactly what they are. I like to describe these parents as the “lazy parents”. They don’t care what actions the child takes and does not support, encourage, or regulate the child in any way. (Ballantine) Neglectful parents also do not show any warmth or nurture to their child and only give them the bare necessities such as food and shelter. (Walton) According to Watson, neglectful parents find themselves being too busy or self-involved that they don’t have the “time” to teach their children life skills, support them in school, or be there for any recreational activities. Children that are raised by neglectful parents often think that are unimportant and have an incredibly low sense of self-esteem. They tend not to do well in school, develop anxiety, depression and often feel lonely and end up feeling withdrawn from society.…

    Children in families with absent fathers are more vulnerable compared to the children in families, where two parents are present. Self-appraisal in children with absent fathers is quite low, as these children suffer from their mother's emotional crisis, as well as her attempts to replace the role that the father is supposed to play, as mother often tries to adhere to strict educational and behavioural strategies, while neglecting traditional mother's traits of character, such as care, maternal love and attitude, and tolerance to children. At the same time, such change in behaviour has negative impact on child's self-esteem, sense of self-reliance, and positive self-appraisal in general.…

    I don’t believe any parent is work in the way they choose to raise their children however, one must always keep in mind children grow and experience different people and eventually things change, beliefs , values and insight change once they educate themselves and share different views with peers everything that was instilled either gets stronger or change. The one thing that strikes me is…

    Uninvolved parenting can cause the child to develop a low self-esteem and have little confidence(Source F). The children can also end up hating themselves or others, hiding their feelings, avoiding feelings; being withdrawn, disrespectful, distrustful; and perform poorly on their own(Source F). Another way a parent can cause the child to not perform well on their own is being a “helicopter mom”. Helicopter parenting is when the parent “hovers” over their children and overly monitor their children's social lives and activities(Source C). This can cause the children to “lack maturity, self-reliance, self-esteem, and good old-fashioned gumption”(Source C).…

However, if the child's parents disagree on how to best raise the child and give the child conflicting lessons, this will discourage the child's development.…

    The effects of divorce on society are far reaching, and long lasting. They are not what many would think, such as a drain financially on society, and the welfare system. There are huge impacts psychologically for all parties involved; the children, wives, and husbands. Although there are some instances where divorce is the only way to provide stable homes, such as high conflict rates, there are others where the children would benefit more if the parents worked on the relationship, such as low conflict rates. Although there will always be divorce, one of the lesser known side effects of divorce can be avoided, and possibly stopped. This is a horrible and completely avoidable occurrence, Parental Alienation…
