Children matter!


This children's park in a hospital attracts children and it is  place they love to come as it is both a play area and meeting point! One of them was playing a game on a mobile phone!!!

But it is dedicated to children. One of the children who regularly uses this place told me that it is an exception to have a dedicated corner!

He went on to say that it is a message that children matter! 

In a world of adults it is necessary to pay attention to children's needs and voice!

Yesterday one adolescent boy tole me with sadness that he is not permitted to play football till his academic grade improved! In fact he told me that he struggles to study on days when he did not have some outdoor activities!

How do we create a sense of responsibility in children is a larger question!
