Should we consider that, in addition to institutional education, it is essential to provide our children with practical lessons?

Yes, practical lessons are very important in addition to institutional education. Academic knowledge alone is not enough for a child to become successful in real life. The important practical lessons are:

• Personal hygiene and cleanliness
• Financial management and savings habits
• Household and cooking skills
• Problem-solving and communication
• Respect for others and emotional control
• Responsibility and time management

Practical lessons help children to prepare for adulthood and they also help children to become independent, responsible, and confident in society. A lot of life challenges can't be solved just by reading books.

Reason why children continue to be unprotected indoors and outdoors is as follows:

• Negligence by Adults: Some parents or guardians find it difficult to supervise their children properly due to a busy schedule, lack of awareness, and carelessness.

• Lack of safety education: A lot of children are not properly taught well on how they can identify danger or protect themselves from something risky.

• Economic hardship and poverty: Financial struggle is also another reason why children are forced into unsafe labor, street hawking, or environments where they are exposed to exploitation and abuse.

• Domestic Violence and Abuse: In some families, children suffer inside their own homes from trusted individuals or relatives making the indoor environment unsafe.
