This message seeks to explain the role of the parent company in a kid’s life. It begins with a mother where the basic theme of desire of a child to be close to the parent and practical concerns can oppose.

The preconceived ideas that actually young children do not care about the caregivers are refuted. Societal research proves that the initial stages of the mother-child bond set during the first three years of the child’s life have fundamental influences on the development of the child’s emotional health as well as interpersonal relationships.

During the age range of 4-10, caregiving promotes pro-social behaviors as well as a bond with parents in the kids’ brains. The personal case of a female student demonstrates how a mother’s absence may result in detachment and poor academic performance.

The drawbacks of this kind of arrangement where they rely mostly on intergenerational caregivers are brought forward. Lack of emotional security also affects a child and may lead to low self-esteem, and some behavioral problems.

The essay highlights the need for centricity in a child’s tender age as being the most critical and valuable stage that can never be replaced. Long Yingtai says this to Poly and to us all, that the window in which a child’s future is formed is, indeed, narrow. It is suggested that parents to make high-quality companionship; which means paying attention to the child, encouraging, and listening to them. This promotes a healthy family structure which in turn helps the children grow up.

There are some obstacles to consider, however, it is dialogue and establishing friendship as the main focus. This is a strict warning from Li Ka-shing one of the richest international business tycoons that no matter how successful one may be, nothing can compensate for one’s failure in educating his children.

Unfortunately, the time for change is limited; people can only wait for some time to make a change. It is impossible to look for a substitute for a parent in any sort of material achievement. Simply being there as a parent is perhaps one of the biggest duties and the biggest investment an individual makes in life.
