Taking fewer responsibilities

Children nowadays have fewer responsibilities compared to the past. Some people say it is beneficial for children, others claim it is not a good approach. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Today, children in general generally do not take have as many responsibilities as they did in the past. While some people think that the young generation benefits from this, others do not believe that this is a good for a child's development children.
Those with a positive view towards this phenomenon would argue that, with fewer responsibilities, children have more time and opportunities to do things that are beneficial to them. For example, since they are not required to do as much housework at home as their parents were, a generation ago, so they can make use of the extra time to study, socialize and even do physical exercise. These activities can undoubtedly improve their academic performance, social skills and physical and mental health, which are essentially important to their future well-being life.
However, others would say argue that children are not doing themselves any favors by taking fewer responsibilities because as this contributes to the a lack of a sense of responsibility. For instance, a child who never assists his parents with chores at home is unlikely to do cleaning work voluntarily in his or her office in the future. This may be seen interpreted as a lack of initiative, which is a fairly important personal attribute in the increasingly competitive workplace.
In my opinion, although having fewer responsibilities means allows children more time for children to take up useful skills, they could miss something because of this. In my case, as a schoolboy, I often used to be demanded was often made to do cleaning work at school, while the children of today the new generation seldom do that. It seems to me that they have a lack of belonging as a result.
