Children Around the World

Product Information

Monitoring the global magnitude and characteristics of violence against children and supporting country efforts to document and measure such violence. Over a third of the children surveyed said that they ‘often’ or ‘always’ worried about how much money their family has. The levels of worry were highest (over 30 per cent of children saying that they ‘always’ worried) in Israel, Colombia, Spain and Nepal. In South Korea and Germany the figure was less than 10 per cent. Kids are kids all around the world. / No matter where they live, they are a lot like you.” With bright photos, colourful maps, and a few simple sentences, Kids Around The World introduces early readers to children from all over the globe. A great book to learn about geography, countries, and cultures! ~ Diverse – Elementary School

Almost half of children (46 per cent) said that they knew about children’s rights. This is lower than for older children aged 10 and 12 (58 per cent). Children in Colombia (73 per cent) were the most likely to know about children’s rights, and in Turkey, Ethiopia, Romania and Norway over half of children also answered ‘yes’ to this question. After watching the film, teachers could use a base map to explore the make up of the world and where the features explored in the video are located. Review: Students are always fascinated about what goes on in other areas of the world. This book not only allows for them to learn about another country, but allows for them to consider what it would be like to be a child living in that place. They are able to learn how children live their lives in other areas of the world. Open flag-Japan) Provide a rectangular piece of white fabric. Let children reproduce the flag of Japan. Display within the daycare. Combine the food coloring and rubbing alcohol in a container. Add the pasta. Cover. Shake gently to coat pasta completely with color. Spread noodles in a single layer on a baking sheet and let dry several hours. Prepare a single color at a time and then divide to create several sensory bins. This preparation must be done by an adult.Most children aged eight in all 16 countries were happy with their lives as a whole but a minority (around 6 per cent of children) had low well-being. The percentage with low well-being varied from below 3 per cent in Colombia and Romania to over 9 per cent in Ethiopia, South Korea and England. England ranks no higher than eighth out of 16 countries for any of the survey’s happiness measures. However, the report identifies, in relative terms, the most positive and negative aspects of life within each country. The three aspects with the most positive relative scores in England were happiness with people lived with (i.e. usually family), health and safety.

Over 600 million children worldwide are unable to attain minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics, even though two thirds of them are in school. For out-of-school children, foundational skills in literacy and numeracy are further from grasp. Result in death.Homicide, which often involves weapons such as knives and firearms, is among the top four causes of death in adolescents, with boys comprising over 80% of victims and perpetrators. Most children in the survey said that they felt totally safe at home, at school and in their neighbourhood. However 4 per cent of children did not agree at all that they felt safe at home, 4 per cent did not agree that they felt safe at school, and 9 per cent did not agree at all that they felt safe when out and about in their neighbourhood. While these percentages are small they still add up to large numbers of children in each country. Gwyther Rees, of SPRU at the University of York, said: “There are some quite troubling messages from England and the picture is quite similar to what we found with older age groups. Children are happy at home and with friends but less happy at school where there seems to be an issue around bullying and being left out.” Contribute to a wide range of non-communicable diseasesas children grow older. The increased risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and other health conditions is largely due to the negative coping and health risk behaviours associated with violence.Cover a table with white bed sheets. Set up a container filled with snow and winter figurines. Add books about polar animals. Children will love playing in their "igloo". Impair brain and nervous system development.Exposure to violence at an early age can impair brain development and damage other parts of the nervous system, as well as the endocrine, circulatory, musculoskeletal, reproductive, respiratory and immune systems, with lifelong consequences. As such, violence against children can negatively affect cognitive development and results in educational and vocational under-achievement. Make bracelets by cutting large strips of cardboard and gluing the extremities together. Cover them with aluminum paper and add decorative items. Use large, colourful buttons and raffia to make your bracelets bright! The consequences are grave. Worldwide, the poorest children are twice as likely to die in childhood than their wealthier peers. For those growing up through humanitarian emergencies, the risks of deprivation and exclusion surge. Compounding crises – from the impacts of climate-related disasters, conflicts and COVID-19 – have stalled progress for the most vulnerable children. Even in the world’s richest countries, one in seven children still live in poverty.
