Their parents could have talk to them about their mistakes so they could learn from them. Smart business skills bought Billie and Piri, earning more money so that they could do less and receive more. People have many different looks on the question should children work or should they be in school. I think the family comes first so both Holiday and Thomas made the right decision to start working to make some money for themselves. It didn t hurt anything by making some money on the side to do the things that Piri and Billie wanted to do.
Children have goals and they learn the easy way or sometimes the hard way.
To reach for your goals you need to work for them. In conclusion I found that children were growing up too fast because of the poor economy. Their poor choices they made lead them into wrong directions, which put them in bad positions. This was because their parental figures were also working to keep the families up and running. Each child had a goal they wanted to reach so this was their incentive to work and make some money even if it was pennies.
