Communicating with Children : Principles and Practices to Nurture, Inspire, Excite, Educate and Heal
The rights of children, as delineated in the CRC, include a variety of
communication rights: the right to be heard and to be taken seriously;
to free speech and to information; to maintain privacy; to develop
cultural identity; and to be proud of one’s heritage and beliefs. Yet,
whether girls and boys live in deprived and resource-poor societies, or
in overwhelmingly commercialized and profit-driven ones, their voices
need to be heard and taken seriously; the possibility for expressing
their needs and opinions and their access to important information
should be expanded. Communication efforts need to respect children’s
privacy and dignity and foster their self-esteem and confidence. Where
efforts are made to provide children a “voice,” it must be more than a
token attempt that reflects the perspective of adults: it should support
their holistic development or problem-solving skills.
