Show milk counter? He has the right to fail and try again without being made to feel guilty. He also has the right to know that adults are not in- Its purrfectly obvious Adults kinda take young children for granted. Parents take it for granted: That you are not interested in their child... That you dont want to hear their child... That you dont want to listen to their child... That their child is annoying you when he wants to get into the conversation... You dont want to waste your short visit listening to their child... And maybe this is true. Maybe this is whats wrong. Maybe people just dont worry about the rights of the young child. And maybe the rights he is afforded now will determine the way he feels about his rights for the rest of his life. The more studying, the more reading this writer does on the subject, the more chilled she is by the fact that sometimes, no matter how well a parent may try to prepare a child, society decides whether or not a child will succeed. Not that we sit down as a whole and make a list of who will make it and who will not that would at least be straightforward and honest but we do it subtly; by innuendo; by verbal or written comment on the childs name and family, the abilities of his siblings; by our own animosities; and out of the mouths of others. The young child deserves more from the world that that. He has rights, just like everyone else does. He has the right to be himself. Its good for him to know that in general he resembles other members of the human family, but he also has the right to know that he is unique within himself. He has the right to do for himself as much as he is capable of doing. Sometimes parents get so wrapped in doing for their children that they take away the right to do for themselves. Its surprising how much children can do when given the opportunity. Im thirsty. What can we do about that? Get me a drink of water! Do you know where the paper cups are? Yes. Can you reach the bathroom sink? Yes. Do you think you can get it by yourself? Yes. So maybe you will have to go shut the water off tightly. Its a small thing for you, but a step up the ladder for the child in independent thinking. I need a drink, but dont worry, I can get it myself! He has the right to be curious, to explore and to be explained to. That sentence is better thought than grammer, but true. This doesnt mean getting into the why syndrome with the child. I know 16 year-old- s who can why you to death because they have never their developed thinking or exploring past the why stage. Come on, were going to the store now. Why? We discussed that this morning. Can you tell me why were going? Yes. Because we need milk and bread. Can I get the milk from the make adults fallible that mistakes, too, that we fail, but we keep on trying. You spilled your milk. Yes, I did. Adults have accidents, too. What should we do about it? We could lick it up. Yes, we could, but there are people at the table who might not like that. How about wiping it up instead? Okay, Ill get a wet cloth. He has the right to feel secure. Secure in his surroundings. Secure in his associations. Secure within himself. The right to feel secure encompasses several other rights including the right to be alone if he doesnt want to participate every time. The right to make choices for himself after he has had the alternatives explained to him. The right to be loved for himself not for what one expects from him, for what others his age are doing or can do, but just because hes there. He has the right to be heard. That doesnt mean you allow him to dominate an adult conversation, but he wants to be a part of what is going on. He also has the right to hear, so if adults talk of things that shouldnt be repeated or discuss the neighbors in unpleasant terms, they should do so away from the children. He also has the right to make up his own mind about the neighbors. The old saying that little pigs have big ears is not far fetched. They are too young to judge what should not be repeated. He has a right to learn discipline. The right to know when he is infringing upon the rights of others. The right to learn how to get along with others. The right to know that rules are made for the most good for the most people. Thursday, Mar. He has the right to know that society lives by rules. He has the right to have the rules explained to him including the consequences of not following them. And he has the right to your consistency in following through when he doesnt follow the rules. He has the right to follow his own creative bent the nght to your help in finding it. Woe to those adults who stifle the creative urges of children! He has the right to be judged on his own merits, and not those of others. Again, in short, he has the right to be himself.
