From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Child labour refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful.[3] This practice is considered exploitative by many international organisations. Legislation across the world prohibit child labour.[4][5] These laws do not consider all work by children as child labour; exceptions include work by child artists, family duties, supervised training, certain categories of work such as those by Amish children, some forms of child work common among indigenous American children, and others.[6][7][8]
Child labour has existed to varying extents, through most of history. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many children aged 5–14 from poorer families still worked in Europe, the United States and various colonies of European powers. These children mainly worked in agriculture, home-based assembly operations, factories, mining and in services such as news boys. Some worked night shifts lasting 12 hours. With the rise of household income, availability of schools and passage of child labour laws, the incidence rates of child labour fell.[9][10][11]
In developing countries, with high poverty and poor schooling opportunities, child labour is still prevalent. In 2010, sub-saharan Africa had the highest incidence rates of child labour, with several African nations witnessing over 50 percent of children aged 5–14 working.[12] Worldwide agriculture is the largest employer of child labour.[13] Vast majority of child labour is found in rural settings and informal urban economy; children are predominantly employed by their parents, rather than factories.[14] Poverty and lack of schools are considered as the primary cause of child labour.
Children with learning disabilities
Introduction:
Sayma looks like any other girl of her age. She is very pretty with bright greenish-brown eyes. She was bright but did not do well in school. She had always been hyperactive in a way which is not a normal process of growing up in a child.
Challenges she faced:
As she grew older and entered primary school, Sayma did not change. Unlike other students, Sayma would lose interest in any classroom activity after a short time and look for something else to do.
Her teachers complained about her behavior to her parents who tried their best to help. However, Sayma did not respond well and had difficulty being promoted to secondary school.
Sayma had great difficulty getting started or getting interested in any work. It made matters worse when the teacher or her parents got angry with her for not trying hard enough. She focused on many things at once and did not know which one to concentrate on.
She was always distracted by any little sound or movement. At home, sounds like the telephone ringing, the doorbell chiming or even a toilet being flushed disturbed her. She constantly felt a weight pressing down on her.
Her treatment:
The doctors advised Sayma’s teachers and family to help her cope with this problem. They asked not to force her to do anything that she does not want to. She needed to be handled with love, support and care. In that way whatever she is good at will shine.
Her qualities:
Sayma is very good at painting since very young. When other children could only scribble in the paper, she could draw precise objects nicely. She liked painting different natural sceneries that she saw in television or newspaper or magazines etc. In case of drawing, she has a photographic memory. She just needs to see a thing for a short time and draw a replica of that.
Conclusion:
There are many children like Sayma all around the world. They should be treated with love and should be supported. Patience with these children is the key to make them feel comfortable. Most of the times, children like this has a quality that is better than normal kids. Parents and teachers should focus on that ability of the child and make him/her better in that. Not every child needs to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer and so on. There are many other fields to explore. One should not force such a child into something that they are not good at.
