Ways and Obligations of the State to Promote Child Rights

It seems like our today is swamped with so many contrasts and extremes that it gets hard to even rationalize what is the type of world we live in. From extremely rich celebrities, overspending on plastic surgeries, luxurious houses, cars, yachts, holidays… to the extremely poor adults and children living in such terrible conditions that even the most cold-hearted would cry.

The interesting thing though is that now more than ever people have started paying attention to those less fortunate than them, they started doing research on ways to help those who weren’t as blessed with good life as they were. Celebrities, regular people, wealthy people… all of them try to stay focused and joined in their attempt to make the lives of the poor at least a little bit easier.

This time around we are raising awareness concerning child rights and ending child poverty.

Staying concerned with the Rights of the Child is the responsibility of all members of society. Only when respected by everyone standards can be realized.

When all members of the community - parents and members of the family; professionals working in education, employees of all public and private institutions, the courts, services for children and at all levels of government administration realize and then react in correspondence with the expected standards and when each individual carries out his or her unique role things may change for the better.

Governments, families, children and members of a society all have a certain role.

Governments

Governments are obliged to recognize the full spectrum of human rights. Human rights should consider children in policy and legislative decisions.

A rather promising circumstance is that many States are beginning to listen to children's views seriously to understand their views on important issues. However, this is still a process that’s in its beginning stages and a lot more needs to be done.

Children

There is an old saying that states “Listen to the elderly and respect them”. And generally we wouldn’t have a problem with this statement if time hadn’t shown that not only can children be wiser than the elderly but they can also be more realistic and understanding about the ever-changing world around them.

This is why it is important to give children voice to express their opinions. This of course doesn’t mean that children’s views should be treated as absolute truths. Their point of view needs to be appreciated like anyone else’s and then put to trial with all the other opinions of others on certain matters.

Children should also be obliged to respect the rights of others.

Families

As defined by Convention on the Rights of the Child, “The family is the fundamental group of society and the natural environment for the growth and well-being of its members, particularly children.”

Families are obliged to provide care and guidance for their children and children are in return obliged to respect their parents. Unless the separation is necessary for the child's best interests, the States are also obliged to prevent children from being separated from their families.

As an integral part of a child’s emotional, psychological and physical development, the family is responsible to help the child grow up into a decent human being, respective of him/herself and others. Also, it is important for children to grow up in an environment where they are appreciated as intellectual beings and they are given space to develop that intelligence.

Members of society

The society functions well only when united. Members of the society should be ready to fulfill their human obligations – help those in need.

UNICEF has cooperated with organizations and governments and provided technical assistance to further implementation of the Convention. 

Other United Nations agencies, like the World Health Organization (WHO); UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR); and the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) actively stand for by far promote rights embodied in the Convention.

Many non-governmental organizations are also included in the project. They all work for better implementation of the Convention. The world is spread through promotional products and marketing items, meetings, stands, etc. 

And while the first image of poverty that pops in our heads is usually connected to the population of the Third World, truth is poverty is an omnipresent condition of many, skulking behind almost every corner of the streets we daily pass through. This is why it is extremely important we all understand how important it is to help and save those whose lives are on the verge, stricken by poverty.

Things You Need to Know about Giving Water to Your Baby

Since water presents crucial and unavoidable substance for every living creature on our planet, it’s not even possible to think about any restrictions related to its consummation. Even though there can hardly be any drink that is safer than water for human organism, surprisingly, it may not be that harmless for newborns. If you have wondered is it smart to give your baby clear water to drink, what is the best time for that and can water produce any health consequences, your dilemmas are reasonable, since there is a lot of guidelines every parent should follow in order to ensure the safest water drinking for their baby. Pay attention to the following directions to learn all the important facts related to providing water to your baby:

Giving water to a newborn –safe or not?

Although it sounds unbelievable, providing infants with water carries possibility for very serious health complications. Breast feeding and baby formulas supply baby’s organism with sufficient level of nutritive components and liquids, so there’s no risk that your baby will experience dehydration or constipation. Paediatricians strongly recommend staying away from giving water to your baby at least until the moment it gradually switches to solid nutrition, since water can disturb the process of important nutrients’ adoption within baby’s digestive tract and can also cause the lack of appetite. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should panic if your baby laps up few drops of water before doctor approved it, but you just need to avoid giving larger water amounts during the first months of child’s life.

The exact time when baby can drink water

Generally looking, suggested age limit which you should follow to ensure safe water consummation for your baby is 6 months. Even when your child reaches this age, you must be careful with water quantity you provide.  From baby’s birth until 3 months of age, water shouldn’t be a part of child’s daily nutrition, since it can overfull its belly and occupy the place where beneficial milk should be. When your child enters 4^th or 5^th month, water becomes less harmful for it, but if you still breast feed it, there’s no need to include additional water supplies. In case baby is exposed to hot weather conditions which can cause sweating and it has been fed with milk formula, you can give small dose of water, but even then, you must consult paediatrician and conduct suggestions with great caution. As your baby turns 6 months, its digestive system starts to develop more and more, so you can occasionally give it medium feeding bottle of water to quench the thirst, but it’s still unnecessary to drink too often. The time when baby’s meals are frequently based on regular milk and food, what’s usually around its 1^st year, is when unlimited amount of water becomes safe for its body.

Potential complications of early water consummation

The most common illness condition caused when too much water is given to young babies is water intoxication. This may be very dangerous, since lot of water leads to excessive excretion of electrolytes mostly through baby’s urine, resulting in serious brain damages, seizures or even comatose stage. Since water easily fills stomach, baby tends to eat less what can disturb its weight and overall development.

Quality of water your baby drinks

Apart from correlation between the amount of water and current baby’s age, water composition also plays a crucial role in providing proper hydration to your child. While mineral and spring bottled waters contain plenty of healthy substances, their levels are designed to support adult’s needs, and for newborns it may be too excessive. Regular tap water usually includes mineral’s structures and quantities which are more harmonized with beneficial water contents that babies need. Anyway, it’s not unusual that tap water carries some ill-threatening parasites, what is the greatest danger parents should be afraid of.  Whole House water filters Sydney can provide excellent water purification, so installing them within your home may be ideal solution for keeping water resources safe for baby’s use. You can also fight against eventual bacteria by boiling the water you’ll give to your baby.

Health benefits water brings to both adults and children are tremendous, but still, sensitive newborn’s organism dictates a lot of limitations, requiring from parents to implement many useful advices related to baby’s proper water intake.
