SME- May 27; a day not just to celebrate The Children

Children all around the world are loved by one and all and they win over our hearts with their angelic eyes and innocent smiles and worry less life as you see them playing around worry free.

Children’s Day is an event celebrated in many places around the world. The holiday is simply set to honour children and minors. This Day was first celebrated worldwide in October 1955, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva.

May 27 is traditionally the Children’s Holiday in Nigeria. First established by the United Nations in 1964, the day remains important in the lives of many Nigerian kids as they get to enjoy many outdoor activities like games and party on this very day unlike the regular days.

This day is set aside to promote  togetherness, awareness among children in the country, creating a sense of inclusion and improving children's welfare. Mothers and fathers, teachers, nurses and doctors, government leaders and civil society activists, religious and community elders, corporate moguls and media professionals as well as young people and children themselves can play an important part in making Children's Day relevant for their societies, communities and nations.

When parents are seriously busy, children can often spend more time with unpredictable maids, unrated media content and their peers than with their parents. This often instills bad influences into their lives and is the cause of misconduct.

As we celebrate another children’s day, parents should sincerely evaluate their parent-child relationships.
