PARENTAL CARE
PARENTAL CARE
The coming of a child to the world
Doesn’t happen spontaneously
But by what can be likened
To an invitation sent by parents
Through mating/intercourse
Or other modern methods of reproduction
No child can come to the world without parent(s)
The parent(s) who invited a child to the world
Suppose to have prepared or get ready
To take care of their child
Whenever the newborn arrives
Preparations done before childbirth
Give a newborn a good beginning
Parents must invest time and energy
To take care of their offspring
Nutritious food, good clothes, medical treatment,
Love, care and affection done by parents
Maintain and increase the child’s fitness
And in a situation whereby
There is no parent to take care of a child
Probably due to the death of parents
Or any unforeseen circumstances
Let those who are well-to-do,
The NGOs or organised body
Take up responsibilities
By providing necessary assistances
A child that grows up
Without proper care and monitoring
Without quality formal education
Or learning a trade
May become a hoodlum/gangster
Who would become a threat to the society
All the people in a community
Should feel concerned about
The welfare and future of every child
Because an untrained child
Who doesn’t have means to get their daily bread
Will definitely engage in illicit acts to survive
The whole society will pay for it
Providing quality education cum proper nurturance to a child
Build a brighter future for a society in the long run
Child abandonment decelerates
Social and economic development
