Carefully reread the passage from "the veldt" by ray bradbury, and write an essay explaining what advice you would give george and lydia hadley on how to become better parents.

pls do not be stupid and copy/paste this. Its gonna show up in checkmywork because is a public hosted website :/ This is what I would put. Take this with a grain of salt.  

This story is about some high-tech room these parents buy to basically raise their kids for them. But then the kids are really terrible and disobedient because they've never been shown any actual human attention or love and the parents are angry and confused by this.

Explanation:

   Advice I would give George and Lydia Hadley on how to become better parents would be to avoid relying on technology to raise children. The raising of children is an incredibly emotional and interpersonal experience that could never be fabricated through technology. No computer can teach a child how to behave, love, and be happy, because no computer is capable of these things. The Hadley parents have put their children in an environment lacking basic human performances and are now wondering why their children aren’t behaving properly. It is unrealistic to leave children unsupervised and form no sort of relationship with them and then expect them to be well-behaving and loving.  

   In the paragraph one of the Hadley’s states, "We’ve given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward—secrecy, disobedience?". The author shows that the parent believes they have earned their children’s openness and obedience via spoiling them. However, the amount of material items gifted to a child will never make up for love and attention. Children have no basic sense of how much money anything is worth, but everyone has a sense of how much they are loved. Another quote states, “They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were offspring. They’re spoiled and we’re spoiled.". The author shows that the parents feeling below the children in status, so the reader understands they sense a lack of respect from their children. A piece of advice I might give them is that you earn love and respect through showing love and respect—not buying people things. Lastly, one of the parents says, “I’m beginning to be sorry we bought that room for the children.” The author shows the characters regret for the purchase, so the reader understands they have found themselves unhappy with the outcome and attribute this to the purchase of the room. The parents seem to regret purchasing the room for the children, but what they should really regret is the bond they’ve failed to build.

   Overall, the Hadley parents need to keep a few things in mind while continuing to parent their children. Including that technology is no replacement for human love. Respect is earned, not bought; and there is no fabrication for a parent’s attention and understanding. It takes work to raise a child, and there is no cheap and easy way out.
