June 1 marks the beginning of Children's Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness for the well-being and rights of children all around the world. This month-long celebration was first established in 1970 by the National Child Abuse Prevention Center, with the goal of promoting positive parenting practices and providing resources for families and communities to support children's development. It's a great opportunity for us to come together and make a positive impact on the lives of young ones, whether it be through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading awareness. Let's make this Children's Awareness Month an unforgettable one!
