As the world commemorates World Children’s Day on November 20th, it is crucial to reflect on the fundamental rights of every child and renew our commitment to ensuring that these rights are upheld for all children, regardless of their background or circumstances. These rights, enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), form the foundation for a child’s well-being, growth, and development.
1. The Right to Survival
Every child has the inherent right to life, to be born, to have a name and a nationality, and to be cared for by their parents. This right encompasses the provision of essential needs such as food, water, shelter, healthcare, and protection from harm.
2. The Right to Protection
Children have the right to be protected from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This includes protection from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as from harmful practices such as child labour and trafficking.
3. The Right to Development
Every child has the right to develop their full potential, both physically and mentally. This includes the right to access quality education, healthcare, and recreational opportunities, as well as the right to express their thoughts and opinions freely.
4. The Right to Participation
Children have the right to participate in decisions that affect their lives. This includes the right to be heard, to be taken seriously, and to have their views considered.
How to Communicate Your Child’s Right to Them
- The right to an education: You can teach them about this right by helping them with their homework, providing them with all the resources they need, and encouraging them to read.
- Right to be loved and cared for: As a parent, you can teach them about this right by showing them affection and providing them with a safe and supportive home environment.
- The right to express their opinions and beliefs: You can teach them this right by listening to them and encouraging them to share their thoughts and feelings, constructively.
- Right to be protected from violence and abuse: Parents can teach their wards about this right by teaching them about safety and by creating a safe and loving home environment.
You can also communicate their rights to them by:
- Using simple and age-appropriate language.
- Be concrete and provide examples.
- Making learning fun and engaging.
- Being a role model.
- Answering questions honestly and openly.
