What kind of future do our children face?

A child's life journey begins the minute said child is born. And the development of a youngster—physically, mentally, and psychologically—before the age of eight is absolutely crucial to their well-being. But millions of kids around the world are denied even the most basic of care during this critical stage of their lives. The consequences of such indifference are dire. Lack of support, encouragement, and love can derail a child's future before it's even begun. It's therefore essential for parents or guardians to spend time nurturing and cultivating the joys and treasures of childhood. But it's also the responsibility of society in general to ensure a child grows up in a safe and happy environment. Worryingly, however, little progress is being made in some quarters to eradicate major causes of child neglect, things like poverty and even climate change. So, what kind of future do our children face, and how can we make it better, brighter, and more beneficial? Click through and become aware of the next generation's hopes and fears.
