Hello!!!We often speak about our rights, and very often I wonder what are the children's rights.Recently I was reading an article about this topic, and at the end of this article the writer summarized the four basic rights of children. These include, the right to create, the right to imagine, the right to play and the right to explore. We should think for a while whether the children are actually having these basic rights. What do you think????

Sometimes I wonder whether the children rights are being safeguarded or not. They are bombarded with lots of homework's at school which leaves them little time for play and use of their creativity.

Yes, yes. It's alarming also for kids who are deprived of their right to play because they are forced to do "paid work" or to "study their lessons too much." Gosh, we only pass by this stage once! So let's not deprive the kids of their right to CREATE, IMAGINE, PLAY, and EXPLORE... or else, they might do this in an inappropriate age if they miss these during their childhood.

Hello my friend!!!!Thanks for responding. I agree with you perfectly. Today children are being exposed to a lot of pressure. This pressure is also coming from their parents, for example, to get very good results or even to be the best in class.

Yep, I believe that children do have the right of their own. We sometimes neglect it because of so many things that consumes us in our daily living. We even sometimes think of our children as disturbance or burden in our lives. But the truth is, they have the right and they deserve to exercise it.
