The goal of Universal Children’s year 2019 is to improve child welfare worldwide, promote and celebrate children’s rights and promote togetherness and awareness amongst all children.
According to UNICEF, children in various part of the world suffered various forms of abuse, neglect and violence both at home, schools and other places in the society.
For parents, one of the primary responsibilities is taking care of their child physical well-being, from regular check-ups and immunization especially now conducting the second dose of measles containing vaccine is on-going in Anambra state, healthy eating and plenty of exercise to use up all that energy.
