If  children behave badly, should their  parents take responsibility and also be  punished?

Considering the impact parents have on their children’s life, many scholars hold  them responsible  for the children’s unruly behavior, and even suggest to punish them. However, I think this notion is totally  unjustified  as it  ignores other prominent  factors.

First of all, mostly the bad influence on  young children is  not the  result of  parents’ upbringing. If one looks at the value  system  in a family, usually all parents imbibe  the  best moral values in  their  children. Even the parents  who  are  not affluent enough, they also try their best to  get  the best possible education  for their  children. This  can  be seen  by the large number  of students in convent schools in India as parents  here know the  significance of quality  education and  discipline. Hence, blaming parents for bad behavior of  youngsters is not the right  approach.

In  addition to that, real culprit for indiscipline among children is the society and  social media. Since nowadays children spend their  maximum time in school, playgrounds or tuitions, parents do not  find  enough time to interact with  them. Moreover, a lot of  wrong habits, that children  have, are given by  social media. Being less  tech savvy to understand the world of Snapchat or Instagram, parents fail to undo the  damage done by these  applications. Therefore, as far as checking the  behavior of young  children  is concerned, parents do not have  much  influence in the current time.

To conclude, every  parent tries his  best  to  inculcate good values but it is very difficult to keep an eye on children in the  modern social structure. So, it is not viable to blame parents for  their children’s rude behavior.
