Ruchika, an ardent proponent of parent empowerment had started one of her blogposts on child safety and protection with the following prayer –

A Prayer: It’s not only an expectation but fervent prayer of a parent of a child with special needs that the child is always in a safe secure environment and that the professionals, teachers, caregivers, family members, and all people dealing with the child equally value the child and are kind and sensitive towards the child looking beyond the disability.

This plea to society is one that all families, children with delay development would relate to.

The presentation above highlights that urgent call to society on child safety and protection. It talks about how we all must strive to create a safe zone for our children, whether at home, at school or at a therapy centre. Please feel free to download it and share it with your friends and family. Help our children by spreading awareness of ways to ensure they remain safe, comfortable and happy where ever they are.
