Love and care are important for a growing child.

As a child, you need love and care
During a recess, Mica and Chris are taking their snacks. They went to a shade of a tree and study their lessons together. They also talked happily and exchange jokes and insights about what happened in their school the past several days. Mica and Chris are both fortunate children because their needs have been meet. They eat healthy foods, went to a good school and have time studying and playing. They are also fortunate to have a family and friends who care for them. Like Mica and Chris, you also need love and care. You receive them from your family and friends. Do you know if someone loves you and cares for you? Let's have look.

Mica knows that her mother loves her so much because she prepares healthy foods for her. She also provided her the basic things she needs like beautiful dress and always accompany her going to school. Her mother also supports her on whatever task she's into. In fact during one of her school play, her mother has the loudest cheers and most proud parent amongst the crowd. Her mother also takes care of him when she is sick.

Chris also knows how his father took care of him. He and his father spend time playing basketball and going to the stadium to watch their favorite team play. And every now and then, his father would bring home his favorite pizza. And when he got a perfect score in his test, his father would treat him in his favorite snack bar. They also go to a camping every year and spend time watching movies every weekend.

Mica and Chris parents show their love and care to their children by giving them the basic needs and time a growing child needs.

Showing love and care thus not end in doing all the good things to you. Sometimes, when you do something wrong, your mother or father explains to you that what you have done is bad. At first you may feel sad about what she or he tells you. But later on, you learn that your father and mother only want you to be good always. You may learn also that they only do this because they love you.

Now, my next question is "How do you show people that you love and care for them?"

Easy, first you show them your love by simply listening to them. You may also help them make their work easy. Giving them comfort not only on times of happiness but also on times when they are down. A simple "Thank-you card" will also show them how much they mean to you.

And lastly, to the parents, remember that every child around the world has basic rights. These includes the right to live, the right to play, the right to rest, the right to study and the right to protect from harm. And the most important of these rights is the right to be loved and well taken care off. These children rights are accepted and supported by all countries worldwide. Giving them their rights and protecting these rights shows how much love and care, you parents provide to your children.
