"CHILD IS THE FATHER OF MAN" this famous
line said by William Wordworth, a famous
poet. It symbolizes the need of children in building a healthy nation and
society. Childhood is the first stage after infancy. It is the formative period
in men's life. For their minds are very soft, receptive at this tender age.
Children’s mind is like potter's clay.
It has to be shaped in a right manner. A child normally has to enjoy its
childhood days with its parents, teachers, friends, etc. It is the age where
fine and long lasting impressions gather in child's mind.
Childhood is the best time to develop
spiritual, intellectual, emotional support. But this rule of nature has been
crippled by the perilous child labour
Every child has his right to enjoy his
childhood. But inspite of this a few children are forcefully put to work
throughout the world about 250million children are child labourer. Due to
poverty poor parents put their children to work in order to supplement the
family's economic status.
This conceal's the talent and
interests in them. Their urge to go to school is dissmised by their parents.
This makes the nation lose a few creative minds. The children are deprived of
education. They are made to work under threatening conditions. They are
overworked and under paid children are made to shine shoe on footpaths, they
work as milkboys, ragpickers, house maids, cleaners in hotels....etc.
We can find children selling newspapers
on highways. All such adverse practices are to be abolished once for all,
without leaving its traces for future generations
