| Kids Essay, Research Paper
Do parents expect too much from their children? or Do parents expect too little
from their children? Well there are many ways to look at this. In this persuasive
essay I will explain what I think parents expect and if it is too much or not.
Well I think parents expect too much of their kids. For example they
expect them to pass in school. What if they are a little slow, and it takes some
more time for them to understand. And what if you don?t spend enough time
with them and teach them until they understand. This is a big problem today.
I am not saying that parents should spend all their time with their kids, I am
just saying that they should just try to spend a little more time than they were
spending before.
Another thing is that parents expect their kid to clean the house every
day before they can play. Well what if the kids are finished with their
homework and then they want to go outside and play. If the parent tells them
they cant until they finish cleaning up the house or their room. Well lets just
say that when the kids do finally finish it?s dark and all their friends are inside
and its time for bed or dinner. Well again I am not saying that the parents
should do all the work and clean and do everything else, what I am saying is
that they(meaning the family) should try to do some of the cleaning before
school. Like getting up and making up your bed and cleaning up your room so
when u get home you just do your homework and you go to play.
Another thing is that parents expect the kids to sometimes take care of
the younger siblings. This is not such a bad thing. What if the kids are bored
and want to go outside to play and they still have to watch the younger sibling,
if they have some sense they will probably stay, but if they are a little young
they would go outside and leave the child alone. What I am trying to say is that
the parents should try to get a baby sitter for the younger sibling and the child
who was supposed to be baby-sitting. So in that way they will both be watched
over.
Well as you can see parents well I think expect allot from kids. Some
other things they expect them to do is Read every day, Go to school every day,
etc. I think parents expect too much from their children, but you see if I was a
parent I would be expecting the same things. Children and Parents have
different perspectives or point of views. That didn?t take much time to figure
out. Right now I would have to side with the children that parents expect too
much from children. When I become a parent then I will side with the parents
and say that we expect too little from the children. At that point I figure Life
will be much easier, I wont have to go to school anymore and I will have an
easier life.
