Love in the Family

Giving unconditional love and support is the best gift that parents can give to their children. It
will lead them to self-confidence and a strong parent-child relationship. Love sounds simple, right?

Well today, many parents are too worried about school grades, drug usage, and their own
personal problems that they are forgetting to give their children the love and support they need.
Depression in teenagers is at all-time high and when children have pad relationships with their
parents, they may feel that they are alone. So just like the Beatles said, “all you need is love” for by
giving children this simple gift, parents are ultimately giving self-confidence, support, understanding,
and a friend.

Love can be interpreted in many different ways, but in my opinion, it should consist of
support and understanding. Teenagers today are going through many emotional situations such as peer
pressure, fitting in, and rejection that they need someone who they can talk to, who will understand
them, support them and give them encouragement.

Parents tend to think that they know what is best for their children solely based on their own
desires. Many parents feel they can express their love through presents and money. But in my
personal experience, no amount of clothes, dolls, play stations or money can replace the feeling a
child feels after a failed test, a fight with a friend, or everyday disappointments in life.

In conclusion, children need their parents’ unconditional love and support. Friends come and
go but a parent is for life. I truly believe in treat people the way you want to be treated. And why
shouldn’t that apply to children? Growing up you most likely appreciated the good relationship you
had with your mother or father or you resented your parents and wished they understood you better. A
parent is his or her child’s backbone, and if the parent isn’t there to support, and understand him/her,
no one will be. So, do your children a favor, make them feel loved and important because that is what
will make a good parent-child relationship; not expensive gifts, high standards, or lack of discipline,
just love.
