Why does the lost child lose interest in the things that he had wanted earlier?

Answer: For any child the security of cosy feeling of being with the family is the most important. While, the kid is with his parents he is enjoying everything on display in the fair and in the natural backdrop of butterflies, flowers and swan.

Once the harsh realization of being lost comes to his mind his top priority is to find his parents. Because parents give you long term sustenance, which can’t be provided by the neighborhood uncle. The person who is trying to pacify the child by offering him many goodies will at the most give a temporary succor to the child. But to continue normal life he needs to be united with his parents. Although a child may not comprehend this complex thing, but the natural instinct of parent child bonding makes him behave the way he is behaving.
