“THE PURPOSE OF LIFE FOR CHILDREN IS TO RECEIVE LOVE AND LIGHT.“

Why not fill the void of love in children? Why does it even matter that children sometimes have a hole to fill? Will it harm them mentally as an individual? Children develop through a life cycle where they grow to become adults. Throughout their lifespan, they will endure all types of life experiences. Many children who have a void of love survive some psychological effects. That’s why a child’s environment is prevalent in their growth. Their opening of love can come from deprivation of lack of food, diseases, maltreatment, neglect, and or child abuse. According to attachment theory, early attachments form our inner models or mental depictions of a relationship and how it should be. 

Without treatment or involvement, these mental depictions tend to be relatively steady. In my book ‘Butter Me Fly: My Way Home‘ Ethan suffered his void alone without his loved ones, and his void took a toll after losing his parents. He suffered in isolation, and it was devastating. The struggle to heal and cope is a massive one. A quote from my book, “Mister Adams? Dylan Adams?” one asked when he had opened up the door wide, and they stood on the front porch. “That’s me,” he said, squinting a little, still slightly suspicious of their motives for visiting him.” Ethan was alone and dealing with an enormous void, and he distrusted everyone. Therefore, Ethan began building a vicious circle around him to keep himself in isolation. The worst part is the less motivation he has, the less he will make a bond with others. Everything that happens during childhood leaves a mark on the child. In explanation, feeling void leads to several harmful effects in children, which can become detrimental in adulthood, like depression and suicide. 

A quote from the book, “Today was not about his father, and it was not about Ethan either. Today was about Mother and the wonderful years he had enjoyed with her. During those running and stomping years, Ethan would remember that he always ran past his mother’s small white box on the corner of her sofa table.” All Ethan would do is reminisce about his mother and the white box. Sure, filling the void of love in children does help them grow developmentally to answer the topic question. Purchase your copy of my book, ‘Butter Me Fly: My Way Home‘ to discover how fulfilled Ethan’s void is after losing his parents.
