Build the child. ..

        The child innocent is born into this world, depending on the older ones around for love, shelter, security and guidance is a gift from god and a source of our joy, a reason for our labors and hope of our future is supposed to be cherished, appreciated and equipped for greatness with a sense of belonging. This is supposed to be our responsibilities, knowing full well that we train a child the way he should go and when he grown, he will not depart from it.
        However, directly or indirectly speaking, we as parents, teachers and the society at large are failing already in these divine assignment of been a good example even when we are aware that they need to be guided in these stages of their development to maximize their potentials and enable them adjust fully to the environment in which they find themselves. We consider them not too important and they are left to fair for themselves.     
          The child is supposed to develop physically, mentally, socially and spiritually under our supervision and care, and anything short of this is child abuse in terms of it being inadequate or even over adequacy of the above listed necessities for the child.   
          The child is supposed to be used (treated) in the right way and not AB- used, MIS-used or WRONGLY-used.
