- 6. Writing 6 Conclusion Clearly, raising children today is more challenging than it was in the past. Parents nowadays are required to deal with many factors that their parents did not have to, such as the Internet, intense pressure for their children to succeed, and changes in attitudes and behaviours regarding parenting. Children are now computer literate, more aware of their choices, and less intimidated by authority, making it even more challenging for parents and caregivers to raise them properly. Parents really need to ask themselves what boundaries to set for their children regarding the use of the Internet, how much pressure to place upon their children, and how much discipline to instill from an early age. In doing so, parents may be able to provide the right dose of stimulation, discipline, and freedom required for children to grow as responsible individuals and have fulfilling lives as adults. 6 Source: Adapted from sample essay by GP
