Answers
Explanation:
Child labour refers to the exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and is mentally, physically, socially or morally harmful. Such exploitation is prohibited by legislation worldwide, although these laws do not consider all work by children as child labour; exceptions include work by child artists, family duties, supervised training, and some forms of child work practiced by Amish children, as well as by indigenous children in the Americas.
Poverty can inhibit children’s ability to learn and contribute to social, emotional, and behavioral problems. By getting involved in your community, you can make a difference in lives of children and their families. Acts of generosity also help your own children develop compassionate hearts. Many of these articles offer insight into what organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, are doing to help children and families around the world.
