He also highlighted that priority that should be given to engaging children in programmes and activities that equip them with life skills and enhance their resilience. Additionally, efforts should be directed towards developing educational programmes to raise awareness among families and parents about the physical, psychological, and social difficulties and risks that children may face.
The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince pointed out that investing in early childhood to provide a healthy environment in which to raise children, protect their rights and preserve their wellbeing, is a top priority for equipping young people with the skills to lead the nation.
