Kids & Family
Since Children's Day falls in November, we wanted to dedicate a special episode to the pressing issue of child abuse in collaboration with UNICEF. Anuradha Varma, who heads Express Parenting, talks to Rajeshwari Chandrasekar, Chief of Field Office, UNICEF, about the various types of abuse that children can face and how parents can recognise behaviour patterns. Ms. Rajeshwari breaks down the difference between physical, sexual and emotional abuse, myths that surround them, and how neglect is an abusive pattern many parents are not aware of. She details how this abuse impacts children for years to come, who is vulnerable and who are the perpetrators, and warning signs that parents should look out for. Tune in for an insightful conversation.
