Child, when we hear this word we think of innocence, fun, free, and happiness. Because we experienced this at one point in our life, to be innocent, and not knowing how to do bad things; to feel fun and happiness and not worry about anything; and to feel free, free to do anything, free to go anywhere, free to be who we want to be as long as we're having fun.
Children have rights. The right to be given shelter, the right to be given food, the right to have an education, and the right to play. Every child has its needs that the adults provide because they are brought to this world where anything can happen to them, that is why they have rights to be protected, protected from the things that could harm. Covid 19 is one of them, this pandemic took a lot of opportunities from us especially on children; schools had to stop, and now we are slowly adjusting to this new normal. Covid 19 greatly affected children’s health mentally and physically; that is why we need to care for them and look out for them.
This new normal may be hard, but
it will get easier, we are slowly adjusting to this environment and we all try
to find ways to make it more manageable not just for us but for the children as
well. Because it is the right of the children to have a proper education.
