In modern life, many parents accidentally fall into a state of lack of concern for their children due to being busy with work, electronic devices or other pressures. However, indifference in this parenting method can have profound negative consequences, affecting the psychological and behavioral development of children, according to Onlymyhealth.
What is raising children without attention?
The style of raising children without care (also known as indifferent parents) is when parents do not spend enough time, attention and affection for their children. They focus on themselves or their own problems, paying little attention to the emotions, activities or needs of children. Nowadays, the rise of technology and social networks has made this situation even more common.
Recognizable signs
Parents prioritize themselves over their children: They are often busy handling work or personal concerns, while their children are ignored.
Lack of emotional connection: The relationship between parents and children becomes distant, lacking in attachment and understanding.
Not caring about your child's activities and learning: Parents rarely follow or support their children in their studies, interests and important events.
Lack of rules, expectations: No clear principles or discipline, giving children freedom to choose without direction.
Negative impact on children
Parental lack of attention can lead to many serious problems for children, including:
challenging and aggressive behavior: Without management and guidance, children are likely to develop stubborn, uncooperative behavior and can act aggressively.
Shyness and low self-esteem: Some children become shy and afraid to communicate sociably due to lack of emotional guidance and support.
Lack of emotional connection: As they grow, children lack empathy and no longer maintain a natural attachment to their parents.
Poor learning and development results: Not receiving attention and support from parents makes children lack motivation, leading to poor academic performance and difficulty in comprehensive development.
Advice for parents
To avoid the above consequences, parents need to clearly recognize the importance of caring for and spending quality time with their children. Listen, share and participate in children's lives to build strong relationships, helping them develop healthy both physically and mentally.
