Jadeecadu waa cudur halis ah oo ku faafaya bulshooyinkeena.

👶🏾 🤰🏽 Waxay si gaar ah ugu daran tahay dhallaanka iyo carruurta yaryar, dadka uurka leh iyo dadka leh difaac jir oo daciif ah.

🤒 Jadeecadu aad bay u faaftaa. Waxay faaftaa marka dadku qufacaan, hindhisaan, neefsadaan ama hadlaan.

Hase ahaatee, waxaan ilaalin karnaa nafteena iyo qoysaskeena. Dhakhaatiirteenu waxay noo sheegaan in tallaalka jadeecadu yahay mid ammaan ah isla markaana ah difaaca ugu xooggan ee looga hortagi karo jadeecada.

Sidoo kale waxaan yareyn karnaa faafitaanka jadeecada marka aan ka fogaano dadka kale marka aan xanuunsanahay.
