A child is a person who is young and has not reached the age of adulthood. Children need special care to help them grow and develop properly. Children also have certain rights that adults must respect. This article explains what those rights are and how they can be protected.

Every child has the right to be alive. This means that governments must do all they can to make sure that children live and survive. Children have the right to an identity, which is an official record of who they are that includes their name and nationality (or what country they belong to). Children should not have their identities taken away from them, and if they do lose their identities, governments must do all they can to help them get them back.

Children have the right to freedom of expression, which means that they can talk, draw, and write freely. They can also have their own beliefs and religion, as long as they do not harm other people. They can join or set up groups or organisations and meet with other children, as long as they do not harm anyone.

During middle childhood, children begin to become more independent from their families and develop more skills to live in the world around them. This is when they start school and begin to learn more about the world they live in. They also become interested in friends and developing their own social life. Children will begin to show more maturity in many areas of their lives, like dressing themselves and catching a ball with only one hand.

Children have the right to privacy, which means that they have a right to keep their home, family, and private life separate from other people. This is important for children to feel safe and loved. Adults should protect children’s privacy and not share personal information about them with strangers. When children break the rules, they should be corrected as soon as possible, but not in a way that hurts or humiliates them. It is best to count to 10 before reacting to bad behavior so that you don’t get angry and say or do something that you might regret later. A good rule is “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” This works for both parents and kids. It’s a simple and effective way to prevent arguing and bullying. Practicing this rule with your children will teach them to think before they act. Also, it will help them to be better friends and co-workers. This will make the world a happier and safer place for everyone. By following these tips, you can be a better parent and help your children to have the best possible future.
