Your comments are very encouraging. This is a subject that needs the input of all. Like most people you have outlined valid points that does not support "Children's rights" as thought of by most people.

The 1989 Children Act in Britain particularly stressed the Rights of the Child in terms of wishes, feelings and for the first time in Law: lingusitic and cultural needs.

What does the law mean?

This is what we all need to disucss in order for childcare workers and parents to come to some conclusion and implementation.

Yes, many adults say that I had a though upbringing and it has not hurt me; fearing to make their parents look bad, even though they may home with the Lord.

Emotions are personal and individual. When I say "chidren have rights" I mean individual attention for adults to listen to feelings and  become "at one" with the child to offer the best care.

Children have always been looked upon as subordinates. This is wrong. The father of cognitive deveopment- Jon Piaget said that children are not intellectually inferior to adults; they just have different mental rules for thinking at each stage of development. - think- you were once a child!

I do not mean, freedom to do what they want because they are not mature enough to make decisons for themselves. I mean "rights" to express feelings, "rights" to have guidance in  understanding  those feelings and "rights" to feel supported in having those feelings met in an individual way.

Yes, this is good stuff. All the best.
