E-book The Art of Parenting : Training Guide
The principle of investing in children rarely evokes controversy. However we look at it, to invest in a child is to invest in our common future: The world of tomorrow will inherit the children of today. Whether nations grow and prosper will depend heavily on the survival, health, education and protection of their citizens, particularly the youngest. There are several compelling reasons to invest in children: Investing in children is fundamental to ensuring the realization of their rights. The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, sets out the legal obligations of national governments to realize children’s economic, social, civil, political and cultural rights to the maximum extent of their available resources. Childhood is a unique window of opportunity. The science of child development tells us that even temporary deprivations experienced by young children can have irreversible effects on their future capabilities and, in turn, a nation’s future prospects. Interventions and policy choices made today will determine whether millions of children and youth are able to reach their full potential, or are left to face a future of worsening inequity and marginalization. Many would agree that there could be no more compelling argument than that.
