Homelessness
One of the basic needs of a child, aside from food and education, is shelter. It is also one of their basic rights to have a home. A home has a strong impact on his education and it also reduces the risk of developing mental stress. Homes protect our children from the busyness and intrusiveness of the world.
I really feel for the children who have to spend their childhood on the streets because they don’t have a home. One of the users also shared how this shaped his childhood. This can actually be a determining factor on the child’s growth and development. I do hope we do not romanticize homelessness because no child deserves to spend an entire childhood on the streets.
