I'm a mother of two boys, and I have served more than 100 boys as a social worker in a rehabilitation centre for street-connected children.

‎My experience has taught me the importance of laying emphasis on training the boy child, the same way we train the girl child.

‎The boy child shouldn't be made to stomach every feelings, because he is not a girl.

‎He needs his parents' warmth as much as a girl child.

‎No, he is not weak when he cries, he is only being human.

‎Let's not neglect the training of a boy child, so he doesn't become a burden to that girl child you trained.

‎Behind everyone of these boys, is a story is waiting to be told.

‎Happy International Day of the Boy Child!
