In our homes, every child seeks care, respect, support and a voice. Through positive parenting, children can feel safe, valued and heard when sharing their opinions and complicated emotions – and grow up to be a happy and confident generation with fewer reservations about seeking mental health support. So as parents and duty bearers under the CRC, let’s encourage children to observe and accept their feelings, use their voices in a constructive way and, as they grow and develop, to take on greater responsibility for decisions that affect them. With respect and support for one another, we can overcome generational conflicts and mental health challenges.
