It’s usually easy for parents to identify their child’s physical needs, such as warm clothes when it’s cold, nutritious food, and bedtime at a reasonable hour.

In fact, mental disorders severe enough to hinder kids from learning or developing properly are quite common, affecting about one in five of America’s youth...
It is harsh, however true how parents can think of all of the material needs for a child instead of the most important which is emotional!! Children can grow up with out knowing how to feel for their parents or even worst how to treat them.
