Did You Child labour is the practice of employing children under the age of 14 in various
Know? economic activities, either part-time or full-time. This practice is harmful to the

physical and mental development of children. It prevents children from having a
nice childhood and wonderful memories with their parents.

We are lucky enough to study in good schools. Our grandparents and their

parents could not get good education. They had to face many difficulties.

In olden days there were few schools and they were very far away. Children

had to walk long distances to reach there.

Gender inequality

Both boys and girls are capable of working. Some people think that only

girls should do household work and care for children at home, while boys
can go out and play. This is not correct thinking. Girls have same rights and

freedom as boys. Girls and boys should learn to do all types of work. Boys

should also help in the household work. Boys and girls must be treated

equally. They can do amazing things if they work together.

Games We Play

Children enjoy playing. Children need physical activity for their growth.

Playing helps them stay healthy and active. Children can also learn

discipline through games. Games develop thinking, planning, and

decision-making abilities.
