Children everywhere face challenges as they grow along the path of maturity,independence and well being.
Some children face many barriers.
The more risks there are in a child's life,the more important it is to create buffers against those risks. Any problem that cannot be readily solved can lead to anxiety and fear. It is our responsibility as parents to nurture and to protect our children. In the neighborhood i live in,i see children all the time outside or at the park alone,i wonder to myself,were the parents are,one incident that struck me the most was ,one day at the park a 2 yr old was being babysat by a 4 yr old. Even for the protective parent who goes outside with the children and keeps a watchful eye,things can happen in just seconds.
