Neglecting emotional and mental well-being can lead to a slow death, no matter how well one manages physical health. A lack of attention to relationships and emotional vulnerability can cause one's overall health to deteriorate.
The belief that children are only meant to be kept physically alive was prevalent in past parenting styles due to historical contexts, such as the Great Depression, but it's important to recognize that children have emotional and psychological needs as well. It's crucial to extend compassion to parents who may have been raised with this ideology while also understanding that modern parenting takes a more well-rounded approach.
