Warring parents should prioritise their children

Recently, The Daily Star published an article titled Universal Children's Day - Making a difference, which drew my attention. How often do we think about the children deprived of love and affection because their parents are fighting over their custody after divorce? Unfortunately, this has become a global phenomenon of late.

Children should not be a subject of dispute between two warring parents eager to settle scores with one another. Children should enjoy love, affection and access to both the parents at will. Parents who got divorced or are separated from one another need to understand that their children need both of them for their upbringing.
