Ashish Shalini Shrivastava challenges us to rethink what it means to support childhood. Drawing from his work with children in conflict-affected Bastar and his own journey as a father, he reflects on the many ways adults unintentionally fail children when we prioritize schooling over childhood itself. He invites us to ask three simple but powerful questions: Am I safe? Am I loved? Am I learning? Through stories that are both deeply personal and profoundly universal, Ashish reminds us that every child deserves not just an education, but a childhood where they can feel safe, loved, and free to thrive.
