The article “A Tale of Two Summers for Parents” written by Belinda Luscombe justifies the action of leaving their kids behind because of a tight schedule moms have in summer. It is also stated how during summer, moms have packed schedules that have them running around trying to figure out how to care for their child with a low minimum income and tying to make money for bills. The article mentions a case of a mother being arrested for leaving her 9 year old unattended at a park for several hours while she worked. Although the place might 've been near, the intentions of people are never known. Kids of a young age are not mature enough in age or have not developed an understanding state of mind.

The curiosity of a child goes a …show more content…

The health of a child is very important because it is a breathing living soul. Their health is put at risk when someone older than them, an adult, is not there watching them. In case of any danger, without the knowledge of adults, they do not know what procedures must be taken to ensure safety again. Children sometimes annoy their parents because of their mischievous behavior, therefore they decide to leave their child unattended in the car so they won 't cause any trouble or throw any tantrums. The article mentions an example of the child 's health being at risk when a mother decides to leave her two toddlers in the car on a hot day in Arizona. They were left there because of job interview and could not find a place to leave them, but there are many incidents that happen during summer where children are left unattended in a car on a hot day suffer illness or pass away because of the suffocation. Children are children and because they are young, they still require adult supervision to care for their safety that they themselves don 't know how to do

For instance if parents are rich or poor, live in good or bad housing, if they are capable loving carers or struggle with parenthood and/or their own (mental) health, or if there is abuse or lack of interest in the family unit, all these circumstances will make a difference to a child’s life and their physical and emotional health might be affected by these different scenarios.

    However, there needs to be a line drawn so that we are not too over protective whilst children are playing. By allowing supervised play, we can allow children to have the opportunities to learn out risks, and to later risk assess situations for themselves, all the while being in a safe environment. By allowing children to take risks, which they are very inclined to do due to their curiosity, they can learn for themselves, that, for example, running could result in them hurting themselves and also others. This can help children understand how to proceed in situations which might not be safe, but to do so in a safe manner.
