Module of an Educational Program to Enhance Social Maturity, Emotional Maturity and Self Esteem of Children

Children and childhood across the world, have broadly been construed in terms of a 'golden age' that is synonymous with innocence, freedom, joy, play and the likes. It is the time when one hardly shoulders any kind of responsibility or obligations. But it is also true that children are vulnerable, especially when very young. The fact that children are vulnerable, they need to be cared for and protected from 'the harshness of the world outside' and around. It is believed that childhood is that period during which children are subjected to a set of rules and regulations unique to them and one that does not apply to members of other social categories.
