I Hid My Voice by Parinoush Saniee

It's a great, fascinating story, worth reading..
I hated the way how Shahaab's family treated him, and how they kept underestimating him.
And part of me was happy that Shahaab kept calling Nasser (Arash's father) because Nasser deserve it due to his bad attitude towards him.
I learned from this story two important lessons:
1. It only needs one person to truly believe in someone, to change his/her life forever. As what Bibi did with Shahaab; she believed and accepted him the way he was from the beginning, which had a marvelous effect on him.
2. Children do understand. And they need our love and attention more than anything. The amount of emotional neglicace in the story is unbearable. Me as a reader hated Shahaab father how was it like for Shahaab himself?
There isn't a thing know as enough attention! Children are humans too, they need more attention than anything else. We won't spoil them with our love and attention, but we will hurt them forever by our negligence. Furthermore, parents love should be UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. They have to stop loving their children just because they are smart, nice, obedient. They have to accept them the way they are.
There is no point telling a child how much money we have spent on them, or how much work we do to provide a good living condition if we haven't told them how much we love them and care about them.
