Universal Children’s Day Special: Raising Children As Individuals

Children are not mini-adults. They are individuals, and their rights and voices should be respected. In conjunction with Universal Children’s Day on 20 November, consultant developmental paediatrician Dr Rajini Sarvananthan delves into why we should be raising children as individuals and helping them to strive for their rights to health, education, self-expression and a safe environment.
