There are several reasons why children may mature earlier than expected in modern life. Lifestyle and environmental factors like unhealthy habits at home or lack of parental role models can influence children. Family stress from divorce or separation can cause children to take on more mature roles. School pressure to perform well and pass exams from parents and teachers places stress on children. Some children are forced to do things meant only for adults like work, care for siblings, or dangerous activities, accelerating their maturity. Overall, children should be allowed to mature at their own pace in a supportive home environment free from undue pressure or responsibilities.

2. Reasons for children to mature early in life
Nowadays, Children are influenced by what they see in the media, by the
technology they are exposed to, and what they see in the environment around
them. Children today like to act like an adult. They like to dress up like an
adults , taking care their younger age siblings, watching movie with sex scenes.
There are few reasons for children to early in life such as Lifestyle and
Environmental factors, The stress of family breakdown, Pressure of school, Being
force to do things that only adults can do .
The first reason is Lifestyle and environmental factors of children. Children
should live in a healthy lifestyle and every child has the right to live in a healthy
and supportive environment to protect themselves. A child who lives in a healthy
place will be happy, they will think positive whenever they are doing something
or everything in their life. Parents should be a good role models and have a
positive attitude to be active. Parents attitude will affect their children, children
are just follow what their parents doing in daily life. It may makes them becomes
very mature in a younger age.
Secondly, the reason for children to mature early in life is the stress of
family breakdown. The disturbed family life, with early separation from or death of
a parent could be causing the children becomes mature in younger age. In this
issue, the hardest task is how to tell their children about their problem. Parents
should ask and listen to their children how they feel. They will probably feel the
way so, they should also talk about their feelings. Children respond in different

3. ways to the separation and divorce of their parents. No matter how many or
how sever the parents’ conflicts may have been, the children lose the common
family they know. Children respond to this loss in various ways. They may feel
sad, angry, guilty, physically sick, worried, or comforted. Furthermore, they may
respond temporarily by forgetting skills they have learned, becoming very
dependent upon adults, or trying to be more mature. (Parenting, 1980) The levels
of divorce, as well as single parent families have quickly escalated in many
countries.
The third reason is pressure of school. The pressure of to do well and pass
for exam from parents and teachers. Parents are too often very preoccupied with
seeing their children succeed and intolerant of anything other than excellence (Daniel).
This makes them to force themselves to do even better . They will think different
way to force themselves . Stress can affect children’s growth. Parents and
teachers should help them and give them advice to do even better. After they
become successful, I’m sure they will appreciate what the parents and teachers
have taught them. They will understand all their hardwork will paid off because
they are smart and mature. Some of the children are still immature, they will
hate their parents for sending them to school everyday. Besides that, they will
also hate their teachers for giving them alots of homework. We should know what
the parents and teachers doing are for our own good. The children should listen
to them and the parents and teachers should also listen to the children. We can
do some exercise activities to release our stress. Always remind ourself that we
can and grow stronger from every hard times.
Next, children being force to do things that only adults can do is also one
of the cause. Children are young human beings. There are things that should not
be done to them for the simple reason that they are human. At the same time
children are different from adult human beings and it seems logical to think that
there are things children may not do that adults are allowed to do. For example,
children are not allow to marry, to buy alcohol, to smoke, to vote, to have sex
and so on. (Archard, Plato.stanford.edu., 2002) Moreover, some of the children has
became so mature because they have being force to do things that only adults
can do. All this actions may affect same age children never did. In addition,
people will think that they are very mature in such younger age and they will
have difficult to get along with peers.

4. In conclusion, there are few reasons for children to early in life such as
Lifestyle and Environmental factors, The stress of family breakdown, Pressure of
school, Being force to do things that only adults can do . Children should not be
too mature than what they should be at their age. A parents is always free to
give advice to their children and support their children to become a better person.
