Synopsis -
Cotton Child is about a child who wants to explore and play. The
parent is forced to work to provide for her child. The situation
consumes the parent with feelings of guilt as she tries to convey
to her child, she works because she has to and not because she wants
to. Today parents are faced with the demands of life and work that can
sometimes limit time to spend with their children. I have learned as a
parent and educator moments of quality time are most remarkable,
heartfelt, and special between a parent and child.
