Experts have advised parents on how to protect the girl-child from unwanted pregnancies and sexual harassment during the three-week holiday.Dr Joyce Moriku Kaducu, the junior Primary Education minister, yesterday tasked parents and guardians to keep a watchful eye over their children. She said children tend to sink towards sexual activities that result in teenage pregnancies during holidays. Dr Kaducu also tasked the responsible authorities to ensure that the boys are equally counseled on matters concerning reproductive health and abstinence. She asked the parents and guardians to nurture their children in a holistic manner, uphold Christian values, cultural norms, moral and social etiquette.Mr Dickson Tumuramye, a parenting coach and executive director of Hope Regeneration Africa, said parents should sit with their children and design timetables for holiday activities such as house chores. He said children tend to go off the rails when idleness kicks in.
