Children Need Parents Care

The article ÐŽoAn Insatiable EmptinessÐŽ± was written by Evelyn Lau which can be a ÐŽomirrorÐŽ± in this society. In the mirror, everyone can see how parentsЎЇ careless attitude makes their children suffer from the unknown world. In the process of suffering, children lose their happiness, desire and confidence.

Nowadays, many children lose their happiness because their parents do not care about them and give them too much their own space to grow up by themselves. However, too much of their own space makes them ÐŽolonelyÐŽ±. Instead of sharing everything to friends, they like keeping the ÐŽoinsatiable emptinessÐŽ± in their hearts. Lau said ÐŽoThey could not control this part of my life or any other. This was mine aloneÐŽ± (157). At this time, LauЎЇs parents should discover the deviant behavior of their child and stop her immediately. However, LauЎЇs mother shouted to Lau that ÐŽoItЎЇs because of you we didnЎЇt get enough to eat, that weЎЇre going to bed hungryÐŽ± (158). This unacceptable reaction led Lau to detest her parents.

Happiness is very important to children, but desire is more significant in childrenЎЇs lives. As same as new drives, children need to find their way on the ÐŽostreetÐŽ±. If children rarely have communication with their parents, they will lose their way to grow up. When Lau was 20 years old, she said ÐŽoI no longer thought of myself as a girl or a womanÐŽ± (161). She lost her desire to live as a normal girl. She ÐŽofelt somehow grotesque and abnormalÐŽ± (161). Parents have responsibility to lead their children to work out their problems in order to give them confidence for their future desire. However, some parentsЎЇ careless attitude can make their children ÐŽocontemplate suicideÐŽ± when they can not fix their problems and can not see their future.

Confidence is another important element that children need to have in their lives. However, many children lose their confidence because their parentsЎЇ negative influence. In LauЎЇs story, she said to herself: ÐŽoI was as guilty as a murder with every biteÐŽ± (159). At that time, she was not confident. She thought that she was a loser. Parents should use their parental patience and love to communicate with their children and help them to be confident. Many parents do not realize that their careless behavior towards children can affect children
