With the long holidays just around the corner, parents and guardians are reminded to take proactive steps in shielding their children from societal vices.
According to experts, the long holidays can be a breeding ground for negative influences, including substance abuse, peer pressure, and exposure to explicit content.
As such, it is essential for parents to engage their children in constructive activities, such as sports, reading, and community service, to keep them occupied and focused.
Additionally, parents can establish clear boundaries and rules to guide their children's behavior, while also encouraging open communication to help them navigate the challenges of growing up.
By taking these steps, parents can help their children develop essential life skills, build resilience, and make informed decisions that will benefit them in the long run.
