Universal Children Day (20 Nov)

Background:

 The Children's day is celebrated globally on 20, Nov. In 1953, It was first celebrated by the International Union of Children Welfare in Geneva. Then in the coming year, it was celebrated by United Nations, on 20th Nov. 20, Nov is the day when United Nations General Assembly aimed the declaration of the rights of children.  And on the same day, The convention on the Rights of Child was signed. Therefore, till now, 20, Nov is celebrated as International Children Day.

Universal Children's Day:

Universally Children's day is celebrated on 20, Nov. But different countries celebrate children's day on different dates. Such as in central African states  Children's day is celebrated on 25 Dec.  In the same way in China and Azerbaijan, it is celebrated on 1 June, and in Argentina, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of August. In short people in different countries celebrate this event on different dates and days.
But it is not the matter when it is going to be celebrated, the matter is its importance. Why is it celebrated?  It shows How much a nation is civilized? and How much it conceders its next generations? Because the children are the future of the world and world is that what we make it.
Anyhow, this day is celebrated for the children and their rights. The children have the right to live peacefully. In developed countries, apparently, children are safe and sound and have everything they need. But they have problems also. Most of the kids there suffer from loneliness and lack of attention by parents, as they spent their childhood in nurseries and boardings. Excessive use of alcohol in society causes trouble of alcoholic abuse. Although most people are sensible and take care of their kids while taking drugs. But some are careless about the effects on children.
In underdeveloped countries, the children's condition is worse, as most of them are deprived of their primary needs. Many kids are deprived of a typical childhood because of poverty and want. They have to labor for their family and their own living. Hence, child labor is common there. Kids work in auto workshops, shops and hotels, and many other places.
In short, I want to say that the exploitation of kid's rights should be condemned strictly. Because these children are our future.

Popular Nursery Rhymes for Little Kids.


-->
This poem is published in 1744,  for first time. And in nineteenth century it composed as a song for kids.
It is also said that it is satire on the export tax on cotton industry  that was implemented by the King Edward in the early thirteenth century.

Another view about its historical concept suggests that it refers to the tenure to of Edward II who encouraged the Flemish weavers and dyers to improve the quality of their production, because the best cotton in Europe was produced in London at that time.     
____________________________________________________________________________
"Ring a Ring a Roses" is a kid's gaming song that they sing during a game in which they make a ring by keeping hands.
But it is also said that it may have a connection to the historical plague in London in 1665. A rosy  red round  rash was a symptom of that fatal disease. And traditionally people kept their pockets full of posies and herbs, for, they think its reason was bad smell.
The use of "Ashes Ashes" make a guess to the great fire in which all disease carrier rat were burned.
In latest version of this poem "A tissue A tissue" is used in the Place of "Ashes Ashes." A tissue A tissue is gesture towards the sneezing that was another symptom for this disease.

Kids in Third World


image belongs to http://sxc.hu/
I love kids. That is why, I have created this blog, to help parents and guardians of innocent kids take proper care of their kids. I have written many posts about common problems among kids, about their dressing and maintenance, about their growth and development, and so on.
But last week I have to visit my native village, for my Grandfather's sickness. There I saw a woman having some cheap snacks in a basket to sell. She had two kids in her company. When I saw those kids, dressed up in rough and torn warm sweaters, with their stuffy nose and dry lips, bare feet, innocence in eyes,  in that cold early morning, I got trembled. They had a dark brown rash on their faces and no caps at all. The elderly girl had another basket of snacks to sell. But she was only 9 or 10 years old and it seemed to be hard for her to carry that basket because she was putting it on her head and after few minutes on the floor. And I have not seen that scene for the first time. These types of scenes are common in third-world countries.

 Any one of you can imagine the life of a common kid in third world countries, where most of the kids are deprived of their primary needs, such as food, clothing, and a proper bed or place to sleep. Many kids have to spend their nights without any shelter; on footpaths, grounds, and plain plots. 40-45% of kids have food only one time a day. 30% of kids have no food even a single time of day. Many of them have to survive on a limited amount of food, a day.
Here I would like to share the incident. I had a meeting by chance, with one of the maids of my friend. My friend asked her to throw out the extra rice and chicken qorma (a local Pakistani dish) that were left after dinner a day before. But in spite of throwing that all stuff into the bin, she gave it to her 8 years old daughter to eat. I was surprised and inquired her why was she fetching her daughter on that food, which may be got spoiled then. She answered that something is better than nothing. Many kids are fetched on the food that is wasted. I have seen many children, who collect objects from garbage piles, eating rotten fruits and other eatables that they find from the garbage while doing their duty of collecting objects. 
In short, I want to draw the attention of the world to the painful and terrible life of a common third-world child, who has to face the cruel face of the world.            

Pets for kids

-->  In this hurry and worry world, we are suffering from lack of time and have not much time for each other and our families. It is said that man is a social animal. It is the nature of mankind to have a company. In the same way the kids also need to have a nice and entertaining company. The best company for a kid is a beautiful and cute pet.

A pet can be a best playing mate for your kid, either its ball catching or little hurdle race kids always enjoy the company of their pet. This company is not only beneficial as a friend for free time but it also make your kid more responsible as children like to take care of their pet. They try to provide them food on time, look for their shelter place and specially take interest in cute look of little animals.
But along all these positive aspects just be careful in choosing right pet for your kid. Kids have very sensitive and innocent nature usually they don't know about their good and bad, so it depends on elders to choose best for them.

If your kid has breathing problem or allergic to pet's fur, then cat is not suitable pet for him, like the same if your kid has sensitive skin then spare him from furry animals and buy some colourful sparrows or parrots for him.Birds as a pet are easy to manage and colourful company. As well as kids birds can also be good fellows for elders, you just need a cage in corner of your lawn and enjoy their sweet chirping with supper.
Some pets like sheep, goat or hen and other cattle can provide healthy diet for whole family. If you have enough space in your backyard, you can manage a farm on small scale with your kitchen garden. This would be an activity for elderly members, company for young members and benefit for whole family.
If you feel you are so busy and not enough time to take care of your kid's pet, especially in case when your kid is so young, you can just arrange some colourful fish in a beautiful crystalline case or crystal jar. The fish will prove a colourful and amazing, neat and clean, easy and attractive pet for your young ones.

Is Your Baby's Eye Sight Normal !

Eyes are the great gift of God. Because of eyes, the world is colorful. If eyes are not working well, it means the world is dark and colorless. The parents should make sure the world is colorful for their kids. For this purpose, a child should be observed keenly by parents. 
Now the question is how to know about weak eyesight among kids, particularly, the kids under 1 year. It is not so difficult. It needs only a keen observation of parents. For example, when parents observe, that kid is insisted to watch TV standing or sitting quite in front of the TV, poking his face to the screen, and when you try to get him away or enforce him to sit or stand away from the TV, he gets irritated. Then there is a doubt, that the kid may have some eyesight problem. At this stage, the parents should be more careful about their kid, because, sometimes it causes a great loss for the child.
Here I wish to tell you about my own nephew who always insists to watch TV poking his face into the TV screen. He did never accept to go away from it. We did not notice, why he is doing so? We perceive it as only a bad habit. Anyway, the time passes and he becomes 7 years old and a regular school-going kid.  About a few months ago, we changed his school. At the first parent-teacher meeting, his parents were told about his eyesight problem. Because his teacher felt, that when he works from board sitting at his seat there are a lot of mistakes and when he works standing near the board there are no mistakes. She told his parents he may have weak eyesight. Anyhow, they got embarrassed, and rush to an Eye specialist. The Doctor told them that they are too late because his eyesight was below 3.5 at the age of seven and it was going down in plus. That means no recovery yet. 

I wish other parents should save their children from such a situation. If your child is doing something out of the way, you should find the reason for it.
