Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, even if parents are physically present, a person can still feel abandoned or neglected. This can happen if the parents are too busy to spend time with their child, or if they don’t show love and affection. It’s like when a friend is sitting next to you, but they are always looking at their phone and not paying attention to you. The important connection and care that should be there are missing. Imagine a child who comes home from school excited to share something they learned, but the parents are always too busy with work or other activities to listen. The child starts to feel unnoticed and alone, even though the parents are in the same room. To avoid this, parents can make an effort to engage with their children by asking how their day was, playing together, or simply listening to them. This shows the child that they are valued and loved, preventing feelings of abandonment despite being physically together.
