All kids have rights, but how much can they actually use them and claim them? Students from different fields are joining this week’s conversation. At what age can a child, for instance, decide what's best for them, and what role do parents play in this? Should age even be an indicator? Chiara, studying Child Law, believes it's more about what the kid is capable of, so focusing on competencies. Sarah, specialising in Developmental Psychology, stresses the importance of learning to make choices and understanding their consequences. Creating a safe environment for them to grow and make mistakes. Next week, students will discuss the importance of democracy. Subscribe so you won’t miss any episode of this series.
