Children's Rights

Childrens Rights

One in four children, have parents who have either seperated or divorced.

Without doubt, the break up of a family and subsequent arrangements for life as a seperated family, can present problems and stress for all involved. Rightly or wrongly, laws exist for parental rights and responsiblities.

Children need as much stability as possible ~ continuing conflict between seperated parents can be more damaging for a child than the seperation.

 This is about the needs of a child. 

• Love from 'both' parents

• To know that mum and dad are having issues with each other, but not with them

• Safety, security and peace of mind

• To keep 'their' relationship with 'both' parents

• To be allowed to discuss their feelings

• 'Their' parents time

  Children don't need 

• To see 'their' parents fight

• 'Their' parents trying to out do each other

• To be used as weapons in adult wars

• To be expected to take sides

• To be questioned by one parent about the other

• To be made to feel guilty about their feelings

• Promises you can not keep

• One parent making the other suffer

 Remember, your child does not see the world through your eyes!
