Children's Rights

I believe in children's rights.

I believe that each kid has the right to:

• A warm, safe from the elements home
  
• Enough healthy food daily. He or she should not go to sleep feeling hungry.
  
• No abuse of any kind - no physical, verbal, sexual.
• A family that wants him.
• The right to be himself and the age that he wants to be.
• The right to finish his or her babyhood period. The right not to graduate from the crib not to be pushed out because a newborn sibling has come along, toilet trained before he/she is ready. The right to use a pacifier and/or a baby bottle for comfort.
• The right to own one or more stuffed animals / teddy bears, etc, for comfort.
• The right to clean, fashionable clothes daily.
• The right to be taught and practise good hygiene.
• The right to have neighbourhood and/or school friends over to play indoors.
• The right to experience being a child and with few exceptions be allowed to be the age they are.
• The right to host or to stay at a friend's or cousin's home overnight for a sleepover.
