Ms. Tazeen Matto pictured on the right has her MA in psychology nd

she is the Childline councilor. She was inspired to become a councilor when she worked with children during her studies for her MA. She told me that at that time she found it easy to communicate with children and thought that if she could help a child at a young age then you can help mold then into good citizens. Since Kashmir has so much suffering, both physical and mental and since children will do whatever you teach them, it is so necessary especially in a conflict zone, broken society and underdeveloped area such as Kashmir to help them develop their personality teach good form bad and guide them into a positive life. There are so many children who have lost one or both parents or come from broken families and as a result they are emotional instability, suffer from depression and feelings of isolation and have developed behavioral problems.  So I feel my job is to provide emotional support and guidance to such children so they can develop self confidence, overcome their feelings of inferiority and adjust and interact even contribute to society.
