Each and Every Child

 

Each and every child
has the right to their own uniqueness and
To protection from physical
or psychological harm.

Each and every child
has the right to have clear expectations,
And good reasons for changing
expressed in understandable ways.

Each and every child
has the right to have help finding alternatives
and opportunities to practice them.

Every child has the right to falter,
fumble and fall without intervention.
To support without suffocation,
and to self-responsibility with out abandonment.

Each gains from
appreciation of efforts, and celebrations of success
without patronization.

All learn from authentic communication
without domination or shame.
Consistency without rigidity, and acknowledgment
of feelings and ideas without probes or invasions.

Each and every child has the right
to be treated with dignity and respect.
And to be accepted, valued
and loved through it all.
