"子供たちの人生に積極的に関わらない大人や親は、その子供たちの人生に影響を与える権利を事実上放棄していると私は信じています。"
— Les Brown
Simplified Meaning:
When adults and parents choose not to take part in what their children are doing or ignore their daily lives, they shouldn't expect to have a say in how those children make decisions later on. For example, think about a teacher who never helps or supports their students; when exam time comes, the teacher can't blame the students if they don’t do well because they didn’t guide them. In the same way, if parents want to be respected and have their advice listened to, they need to be present and supportive throughout their child's life. Real involvement means talking to kids, understanding their problems, and sharing moments with them. This kind of engagement builds a strong connection, making it more likely that children will value their parents' opinions and guidance as they grow up. If parents ignore their kids, they lose the trust and respect needed to influence their choices positively.
