“Daddy’s On Time Out” takes readers on a life changing journey as seen through the eyes of a young child. Kim Roberts takes an unfortunate personal family situation to express the bearings they have on little eyes & little ears (children). Her main objective is to reach the hearts of children affected by family members in uncompromising situations. She compares this situation to childhood punishment known as “timeout” in such a way even a child can relate. Kim’s message is no matter the time period of the “situation” it does not minimize the effects the experience has on children. Ultimately, no child should be uncertain about their parents love for them.
