Here is the plot description for “A Better Life”:
From the director of “About a Boy” and the producers of “A Single Man” and “In Good Company” comes “A Better Life”: a touching, poignant, multi-generational story about a father’s love and the lengths a parent will go to build a better life for his child.
Carlos Galindo always dreamed of a better life for his wife and newborn son when he crossed the border into the U.S. But when his wife left him – wanting more than he could give – Carlos’ only goal became to make sure his son Luis was given the opportunities he never had.
After years of hard work and trying to set an example for his son, he still finds himself drifting apart from Luis. Luis is at an impressionable teen age where succumbing to peer pressure could lead him down a dangerous path. Seeing a way to control their own destiny, Carlos takes what little money he has and invests it all into his own gardening business. Luis believes that is their only chance to stay together and finally achieve the better life he always envisioned for his son.
However, after an unexpected turn of events when everything he’s worked for is suddenly taken away, it is Luis – despite years of growing apart – who teams up with Carlos to take it back. Together, father and son embark on a physical and spiritual journey where they discover something more important: that family is the most important part of the American dream. The film will be released in the U.S. via Summit Entertainment. The Chicago release date is July 8, 2011. “A Better Life” is rated “PG-13”.
The movie trailer for “A Better Life” can be watched now below.

Give child better life
The best way is to educate children and teach them respect humility and love them unconditionally.
What’s the best way for a parent to give a child a better life?
Provide your child with the basic skills of life, by loving them and teaching them right and wrong. Teach them about the mistakes that you made so that they dont have to.
the best way...
… a parent can give a child a better life is to make a lot of sacrifices. there may be a few situations that would call for a parent to give up on certain things just so his/her child can be in a much better place. and these sacrifices should be borne out of love and given unconditionally without any resentment or grudges.
What’s the best way for a parent to give a child a better life?
Even though it may sound cliche, but the best way for a parent to give a child a better life is to show that you are there for your child and that you show that you love your child by listening to him or her and providing gentle guidance as they transition or go through difficult periods in his or her life.
In addition, you have to teach your child about the importance of education, values, honesty, hard work, self esteem and a sense of self worth. Without values or sense of self worth, as quoted from the movie called Sucker Punch, “if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.” Your child can fall into a life full of difficulties, regrets, mistakes, and sorrow.
Education and money is supplemental for a better life, but should not be the root for a better life because it does not teach your child to appreciate what you have done financially for him or her or value the education you provide him or her.

Giving a better life to a child
Serving as a modelinall regards is the est way to help a child.It will mean hard work at employnment to earn not only money to purchase the needed essentials, but also to gain the respect and trust of your colleagues and other family members. A child needs to see the parent as a role model so the parent must remember just how far his.her influence goes.
About a boy tickets

Give a Child a Better Life

Giving a child a better life
A parent should lead by example and get them in the best schools possible. They should teach their child good work ethics and show them love and support.
What’s the best way for a parent to give a child a better life?
As we move further into the future this question has become increasingly more difficult to answer. Without question unconditional love is at the top of the list. There’s more to it than just saying the words. A parents actions must be interpreted as unconditional love. A parent should also make sure their child is not alone or alienated. This can have devastating negative effects on a child. I speak from experience here. Although I have a mother and a father, I might have been better off without either of them throughout my child and adolescent years. It sounds harsh, but sometimes the truth is harsh and difficult to swallow.
