In this video, Landon Person describes a child-right based approach as an individual who is a person. A person has inherent rights because they are person and that does not matter on age, gender, sex, disability, etc. They are all persons and all persons have rights. I think that Pearson’s statement accurately depicts the importance of seeing every human as having rights, whether they are a child or an adult. There are many examples that illustrate the connection between children’s rights and the notional of seeing children as not yet fully human. Older persons tend to dehumanize children because they do not see them persons just like them. Because of their age, they see them as not mature enough or capable to make their own decisions. For example, adults may make decisions on the child’s behalf, such as choosing what play date they are going to go to on Saturday. Many parents will make this decision without even consulting with their child. An alternative instead of making the decision for the child could be giving the child an option of the play dates the child can go to and having the child choose who they would like to ply with. It would also be beneficial for an adult to take input from the child as well and they can come to a conclusion together.
