Each child has their own values. It all depends on the upbringing and the environment. Our reader Anastasia told about communication with her friend, who works as an educator in an orphanage. Look at how children living in families differ from those who are brought up in the care of the state.“Mom, buy me a phone.” “And buy me a tablet.”

“And tomorrow let’s go to the water park.” So the children were whining while my friend and I were sitting in the kitchen and drinking tea. And what makes children who have been abandoned by their parents happy? Are they not ecstatic about new toys or going to the movies? They enjoy it when an adult pays attention to them. There are many adults around the orphans.

But there is no adult whose job it is to listen to the child, give him advice, and simply caress and kiss him. Adults appear nearby, but they are not close and dear friends. Some cook for them, others clean up after them, still, others lead circles and classes, and still, others teach. As a result, a child is truly happy when he is shown concern, affection, and care.

They are delighted when someone reads them a bedtime story. Or when they get a new hairstyle or haircut that stands out from the crowd. That’s how it ends up. Children raised in a family may be spoiled and fastidious. They might want gadgets, electric scooters, or more money in their pockets. And orphaned children and teenagers require only human interaction or a kiss before going to bed to feel the happiest in the world. Everyone is happy in their own way!
