Hello friends! Did you know that from the moment we are born, we have special rights and responsibilities? Today, we’re going to learn about them together!
Rights are like special rules that help everyone live happily and safely. Every person, no matter how old they are or where they come from, has rights. These rights can’t be taken away, but we also have responsibilities to go along with them. Both are important for living together nicely with others.
There’s a special law called the Convention on the Rights of the Child that protects kids’ rights until they turn 18. This means all children are important, and adults should help make life great for us!
Did you know having a name is a right? My name is Michael, and I am Lily. What’s your name? Every child has the right to live in peace and feel safe. We also have the right to be with people who love us, and it’s our job to care for and respect them too.
We have the right not to be hurt and to be treated kindly. This means we should also treat others nicely. It’s important to be kind to everyone!
Everyone has the right to see a doctor when they’re sick. But we also need to take care of our bodies by eating healthy foods and staying active.
We have the right to go to school and learn new things. It’s our responsibility to attend class and respect our teachers. Remember, rights work best when we do our part!
We have the right to enjoy clean forests and rivers. To keep them that way, we must respect nature, animals, and plants.
We can share our thoughts and ideas, and others should listen to us. We also need to respect what others think, even if we don’t agree.
We have the right to speak our native language and learn about our culture. We should also respect other languages and cultures.
Adults should help us learn and grow. Our job is to listen and learn from them.
And the best right of all: we have the right to play, laugh, and have fun with other kids!
These are just some of the rights and responsibilities we have. It’s important for everyone to do their part to make them work. Don’t you think?
See you soon! We’ve learned a lot today. There are many more things to discover, so keep learning and having fun!
Create a Rights and Responsibilities Poster: Gather some paper, crayons, or markers. Draw a picture of one right and its matching responsibility. For example, draw a school to represent the right to education and a child listening to a teacher to show the responsibility of respecting teachers. Share your poster with your family and explain why both the right and responsibility are important.
Role-Playing Game: With a friend or family member, act out different scenarios where rights and responsibilities come into play. For instance, pretend one of you is a doctor and the other is a patient. Discuss the right to health and the responsibility to take care of your body. How can you show respect and kindness in this situation?
Nature Walk Exploration: Go on a nature walk with an adult and observe the environment around you. Talk about your right to enjoy clean nature and discuss ways you can help protect it. Can you spot any litter that you can safely pick up? What animals or plants do you see, and how can you respect them?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello friends! Did you know that as people, from the moment we are born, we have rights and responsibilities that we must respect and fulfill? Today, we will talk about those rights and responsibilities, so let’s take it bit by bit.
First of all, rights are a set of rules that ensure all people have the basic conditions to live. Every person on the planet has rights that we must respect, regardless of their age, origin, culture, or any other factor. Remember that no one can take away our rights, but we also have to remember that we have responsibilities and obligations that we must fulfill too. Both rights and responsibilities are very important for living in society and getting along with others. They are closely connected.
Let’s talk about the rights of children. An international law called the Convention on the Rights of the Child protects the rights of all children from birth until they are 18 years old. All children are important, and both governments and adults should work to create the best life possible for us.
Did you know that having a name is a right? My name is Michael, and I am Lily. What’s your name? All children have the right to live in peace and without fear. We have the right to live with the people we love and who love us, and it’s our responsibility to take care of and respect those people.
We also have the right not to be hurt by anyone and to be treated well by everyone. This means that others have that right too, so it is our responsibility to treat everyone the best we can.
Everyone has the right to be taken care of when we are sick and to see a doctor if we need it, but it’s our responsibility to take care of our bodies and eat a healthy and balanced diet.
It’s our right to go to school to learn, and it is our responsibility to attend class and respect our teachers. Remember, rights don’t work if we don’t fulfill our responsibilities!
We also have the right to clean, litter-free forests and countryside, and the right to enjoy unpolluted seas and rivers. To make this possible, it is our responsibility to respect nature, animals, and plants.
We children also have the right to express our opinions and for others to listen to us. Our responsibility is to respect the opinions of others, even when we don’t agree with them.
We have the right to speak our native language and for our families to teach us the traditions of our cultures. We must also respect languages and cultures that are different from ours to ensure that everyone has this right.
Another right we have as children is for the adults around us to help us improve and to guide us when we don’t do things right. Our responsibility is to listen to their words and learn from them.
And finally, the best right of all: as children, we have the right to play, laugh, and spend time with other children.
These are just some of the many rights and responsibilities we have as children. Surely more than one of them sounds familiar to you. It is very important that we all do our part to make them work, don’t you think?
