In the last decade or so, values and morals in our societies have diminished. The nature of living arrangements, lifestyles and the economic pressures on families have contributed to an increase in children living with fewer moral values to emulate or the erosion of positive values.
As a result of these pressures, families are not spending quality time together; children are getting less personal interaction with adults but with an enormous amount of time on technology gadgets, social media and on the go TV.
There is very little time to teach, train and raise a large number of our younger generation with the values they need to live a happy, fulfilled lives as responsible members of the society.
Unfortunately our schools do not seem to be too concerned with our children’s socio-emotional learning either. They appear to be more concerned with ticking target boxes for SATs exams as though this is the only determinant of a child’s success.
