School Children

Parents are being encouraged to talk to their children about the golden rules of crossing the road.

“Before crossing the road, road users must first look to the left and right sides to check for approaching vehicles.”

“School children should not be playing while on the road.”

“They must not use headphones,” Police said.

Police also reminded school children on ABC safety rules for kids on the roads, A for Awareness, B for Behaviour and C for making the right choice.

More than 60 people, mostly girls, are now known to have died in the attack that hit students as they left class.

No-one has admitted carrying out the attack in Dasht-e-Barchi, an area often hit by Sunni Islamist militants.

The Afghan government blamed Taliban militants for the attack, but the group denied involvement.

The exact target for Saturday's bloodshed is unclear. The blasts come against a backdrop of rising violence as the US looks to withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan by 11 September.

And a busy life also means unhealthy diet and lack of sleep as they try to cope up with the homework and assignments, and added responsibilities and obligations that come with age.

As an adult in a child’s life, it is important for parents and guardians to remember that a healthy, balanced diet for children provides essential vitamins, minerals and other nutritional goodies that kids need for healthy growth and development.
