Why children are vulnerable
This Class 12 Home Science topic examines why children need special care and protection while studying the management of support services, institutions and programmes for children, youth and the elderly. Students explore how dependence on adults, rapid physical and emotional development, limited decision-making ability, poverty, neglect, abuse, disability and family or social instability can increase children’s vulnerability. The topic also connects these needs with nutrition, healthcare, education, counselling, safety, child-care institutions and coordinated support programmes.
