Examine the ways in which the Party makes itself stronger by influencing the youth of Oceania. Discuss the daily lives of the Parsons’ children.

The daily lives of these children included playing "SPY" and catching their mother and the neighbors doing things considered wrong and against Party rules.  As a result, their mother was a nervous wreck all the time, their father gets shipped off to the torture chamber to confess, and Winston is put on eggshells whenever he encounters them in the hall.

The Party creates and instills more fear into the society by using the children.  It is very much like Hitler's Nazi Youth.  With these little people running around, completely brainwashed, watching and seeing and reporting...who wouldn't be on pins and needles?
