You’re born into this world where someone is taking care of you most of the time. You come out from the womb and are curious the first time you see the light, a globe, a candlelit, the sound of keys, the face of a soft bear… at first, you might cry but then the soft bear becomes your good friend. It’s so overwhelming during Christmas when you see a ton of lights that you explode almost flying out of your parents’ hands but then they know and keep you steady. You can’t speak but your parents know when you are happy. They learn your language and try as much as possible to understand your non-verbal cues i.e. when you’re hungry, tired, feeling ill or when you need a cuddle. You were provided for in your mum’s womb, you were provided for when you just arrived on earth. Someone already took care of that. What must it feel like for an abandoned child? Think about the world they will be growing up in. You weren’t born straight into gratitude. The blanket to wrap you in, the clothes you wear, the toys you have and the food you eat was already provided. Now currently if you are a teenager and your parents are a bit tired of giving you money. Can you imagine why? Especially if you’re getting more than the basics. As parents, they have to provide and will slowly leave it up to you to take responsibility for your life as you leave the nest. They will support you but not as much, as you take on more responsibilities. The foundation was set. Every teenager’s upbringing at this point could be at different levels i.e. perhaps some had the very basic or some had a better standard of living.
