Do children understand Why their parents leave?

Parent who work overseas must assume that thier kids fully understand the reason why they have to leave and work in other county. That is to give them better life.

Many parents leaves when their kids are young. The children do not even know where in the part of world their parents.

Many OFW parents think that materials things can compensate for thier absense but in they are wrong. 

One of the interview of children thier parent working abroad I watch in ABS CBN Most of the children say they don't need material things  they just want thier parent would stay for them.

Childhood experience of the children is only onces. This is the time when they really need the guidance of parents.We should not waste in the opportunity.

May be when time you go back. The children of left  they grow up at they are too busy and they dont have time for you.
