Concentration Reading Activity: The article below is a three-paragraph article, without spaces and some points, no full stops. Read carefully and reconstruct the sentences in the article. Since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Childin 989 Article :12 , –the provision that children have a right to express their views and have them Taken seriously in accordance with their age and maturity has proved one of the Most challenging to implement. Although understanding of the childhood and attitudes Towards children differs widely across cultures. The Experience of the Committee on the Rights of the Child has been that the reasons for excluding children from participation in matters that affect the mare remarkably consistent across different parts of the world. Children lack competence. They lack knowledge and judgment involving the mind decisions is to place too a heavy burden on them; Their parents know what is best for their children; Giving children a voice will lead to excessive demands, bad behaviour, disrespect for elders. Participation will expose children to risk of harm. However, we have learned over the past 20years that these concerns are not borne out by the evidence. Time and again, experiences hows that children even very young children given the time and opportunity, demonstrate not only that they have views, experiences and perspectives to express, but that their expression can contribute positively to decisions that affect the realization of their rights and well being. Article 12 is important as a fundamental right. It is a measure of our human dignity that wear eable to be involved indecisions that affect us, consistent with our levels of competence. It is also a means through which other rights are realized .It is not possible to claim rights without a voice.
