Children need their own space to grow--even if the area is a small corner in a room within unique home styles. An example, real mothers know that you should avoid buying a majority of children's clothes and shoes that just fit their child for one calendar season. Children need constant care. Children need reassurance (light) and time to grow, to explore in becoming a productive adult. Did you know that a negative or hostile home environment can halt a child's growth?
