Neglectful or Uninvolved Parenting is a parenting style characterized by low to almost no response to the children’s needs and wants. Neglectful parents tend to provide only the basic necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. It may be easy to judge neglectful parents but remember that it’s not always intentional. Others may have valid reasons, such as strenuous work, and why they can’t attend to their children.<\/p>\n
Children of uninvolved parents are often left to raise themselves and may grow self-reliant as they learn to make big and small decisions on their own. They also receive little to no nurturing, affection, guidance, and discipline. Later in life, they may have low self-esteem and may become emotionally needy.<\/p>\n
To better understand this, the following are the movies with neglectful parents.<\/p>\n
As we’ve mentioned above, neglectful parenting isn’t always intentional. This movie, Home Alone, is an example of such. In this movie, Peter and Kate McCallister are parents of a large family so on their flight to Paris for their Christmas holiday, they unintentionally left behind their youngest son, Kevin.<\/p>\n
Directed by Chris Columbus and produced by John Hughes, Home Alone is a comedy film about a boy who was accidentally left behind when his family went to Paris for Christmas. He then had to defend their home from burglars using creative inventions. It stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, Catherine O’Hara, and Roberts Blossom. It is the first of the six movies in the Home Alone movie franchise.<\/p>\n
