Love is Free Families are the most important part of child development, and the first step in creating a positive future for children, is the love and nourishment a family provides. Yet, when the stresses of life grow increasingly unbearable, people began to ignore and neglect their children. In this essay, I will discuss the excuses families make to neglect their children, and how to better handle the hardships of life. The young generation of adults can create a thriving and happy new generation if they hold on to the only thing they will always have, love and care.
While everyone was raised as a child to where they are now, this seems to be a root of the problem. We assume what our parents did is either black or white, everything was wrong …show more content…
No one knows the right way to raise a child because there is not a singular right way. The problems that I speak of are the ignoring and abandonment of care to a child because of the things we view as more significant issues. Lynda Barry was a prime example of neglect in her household due to these “financial and emotional [crises]” (415). Lynda Barry recalls in her essay, “The Sanctuary of School” the first time she snuck out of the house because she felt an anxious and unsettling air in her house.

Basically, a child looks up to how their parents talk to them and treat them in order to develop their personalities and social attitudes.

To Mike Rose, the author of the essay Blue Collar Brilliance, he recalls simple things at the beginning of his essay that portrayed his family’s simple ways of showing love. Rose’s family was not the most well off and his mother was always working as a waitress, but “[his] father
