We often hear the reminder “parental guidance” when we watch television. Before a program begins, remind the audience of it. But does watching a television program require parental attention and guidance for their children? We know never. The sad state of our day will tell us the sad reason. Whether we accept it or not, “moral standards” are now declining. We have all become victims, especially children.

Because of what they know on television, on the radio and under the influence of friends or peers, it has become “normal” for them to accept anything that, if we think is right, is against moral principles. For example entering young men or passing relationships without planning to face future trials in their lives and that is where the urge for physical excitement predominates. Necking and Petting that are often seen on television programs, or even in movies gives the impression that it is just ordinary work. And constantly doing these things will bring them harm.

Pre-marital sex is one of the possible destinations of today's "normalized" acts that only couples could do. This often results in the woman’s early pregnancy and premature or unplanned marriage of the two where both do nothing good for them, rather, it instead deprives them of good opportunities in their lives. Parents as role models for their children should only pay attention to these tempting things. It is not enough to just tell them and be afraid of not being released from the house or of not being given an allowance so that they understand this serious challenge to their identity.

“Parental guidance” is not just about watching television but deeper into the could it will mean especially in our time. This means a lot of time for parents to spend for their children. Coolly saying “what’s wrong” isn’t even enough, young people also need to understand why something or something went wrong. Performing these tasks requires patience and ample time. It’s best for parents to really spend an entire day paying attention to their children’s personal and verbal interactions. In this way, they will also be able to identify and understand their children’s new and different interests.

Parents need to know what kind of clothes their children want to wear; what kind of songs they want to listen to, the movie or program they want to watch. What kind or kind of friend will they want with. These things seem so easy to learn, but in a real sense, really getting to know today’s youth really takes a lot of time.

We need to remember that parents cannot accompany children for 24 hours. Every hour or minute they are not together, many things can possibly happen. But it is also not good not to give confidence to children. Trust is one of the key elements that strengthens the parent-to-children relationship. This can only be done by having enough time to talk to them. It is the responsibility of every parent to straighten the path of their children even in the most difficult of ways. They (parents) and not the teachers or gangs should be the ones to nurture and guide them (the children) on what is right. Because when it happens that someone else has more time for them, it becomes more difficult for children to learn to follow the advice of their parents.

Much has changed in our time, even the standard of people today. The wrong turned out to be right, but the right was simply ignored. That is why every parent should pay attention to the steps that their children are taking. When demanded by chance, it is not appropriate to withhold the discipline necessary to correct any misconception. Discipline is a way of teaching what is wrong and setting boundaries to stop and prevent the abuse of restricted freedom.

While strictness accompanies discipline, it often also involves restraining or depriving one of his or her freedom. Everyone has freedoms and rights including children. But these freedoms and rights have dual responsibilities and responsibilities not only to oneself, but to other people and even to society. So children need to understand the importance of these things with the help of their parents.

Respect
“Respect” should be planted in their hearts, not fear. Since it is possible that the child will only be afraid to do something bad because his or her parent might find out or find out about him or her, so he or she will not do that bad thing. But if he sees a good opportunity, He still oppresses the rat that has come out of the hole. But if respect exists in their heart, they will do the things that are right, not just out of fear of being caught, but, because they understand the good it will bring to themselves.

Facing life seriously and with purpose is not a kind of weakness. It’s something everyone should look at in the dark. Note that each of us is given the opportunity to choose what is right and appropriate, so we should not ignore it. Being a good parent is a serious matter. It does not simply mean providing for financial and material needs. It goes beyond providing for the moral and spiritual needs of their children.
