Today I was walking down the street and I observed the following scene.
A young mother was holding her little daughter's hand with one hand and and the other was holding on to her phone with which she was very busy. Her daughter was literally SCREAMING for her mother's attention - but to no avail.
והוא רחום יכפר עוון.
I then observed an adult sitting with his mother [there were mother-son signs] who instead of talking to him was busy talking away on her phone. He wasn't screaming. Just sitting there politely and quietly. As adults - we learn to hide our true feelings.
Adults also need positive attention. Especially from parents [and spouses for that matter].
