Every Child Needs A Caring Adult In His Life

“Every child should have a caring adult in their lives. And that’s not always a biological parent or family member. It may be a friend or neighbour. Often times it is a teacher,”—Joe Manchin.

Love should not only come from the parent to the child, but from every adult in the society. We should develop the habit of showing love and care to every child we find around us. A child that is brought up in a society where so much love and care have been showered on him, is bound to extend the same favour to other people he meets as he grows up in life.

As a teacher, your first duty towards your student is to care and show love—it will aid the child’s ability to develop into what you want him to be in life.
