[Invitation Seat] Child as an 'independent person'... 'The 129 Principles of Positive Parenting'

<Anchor>

This is Child Abuse Prevention Week, which protects and prevents our children from abuse.

Recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Children's Rights Protection Agency, and related civic groups announced the 'Positive Raising 129 Principles' to raise children in good health.

With Hyemi Yoon, the director of the Children's Rights Protection Agency, let's talk about it in detail.

[Yoon Hye-mi / Director of the Children's Rights Agency: This positive nurturing 129 principle is based on the basic premise that children are respected as independent individuals, and based on the idea that there should be mutual communication and understanding between parents and children, and trust. It's a parenting method. The number 129, first of all, 1 means that the child is an independent person and should be respected as a basic premise, and the second 2 is about the principle of practice. As I said before, trust and communication and understanding are two says And now the number 9 is a practical principle. So, if you are talking about something, you should know your child well. And then I look back, and thirdly, I change my perspective and grow up together, parents and children. After that, it will be very important to fully focus on the children speaking, right? And to listen and empathize. Seventh is to be consistent. The eighth thing is to admit that parents can make mistakes, and the ninth thing is to raise them together, to raise society and parents together.]

[Yoon Hye-mi / Director of the Children's Rights Protection Agency: In fact, most child abuse occurs at home. Isn't this the case that parents use corporal punishment in the process of doing things like discipline rather than saying that they will abuse their child? If corporal punishment is used as a tool of discipline, it is highly likely that it will lead to abuse if it gets worse. However, in January of this year, there is a provision in the Civil Act for the first time in 63 years in Korea that there is a provision on the right to discipline persons with parental authority. We call them 915 Articles and Guilojo. abolished this. It has great meaning. This is because this article contains such things as 'the parental authority may take disciplinary action to protect and educate the child'. This is because there has been a slight misuse of this in the family, saying 'corporal punishment is allowed'. So, the Government Children's Rights Guarantee Agency wants to inform the public that 'corporal punishment of children is prohibited' at home because the right to discipline has been abolished. I thought that helping children raise children is the most effective and basic way to eradicate child abuse, so I came up with a plan called 'The 129 Principles of Positive Parenting' with child-related civic groups and experts.]

[Yoon Hye-mi / Director of the Children's Rights Protection Agency: All children do not have any gender, religion, or disability, shouldn't they be discriminated against for any reason?

And you should be respected as an individual.

They are not subordinate to their parents.

So, according to this international convention, the 'Children's Rights Convention', we are talking about children's rights in four main ways: 'the right to live, the right to development, the right to protection, and the right to participate'.

It is essential for children to grow up as healthy and influential members of society, think of it this way.]

[Yoon Hye-mi / Director of the Children's Rights Protection Agency: Children are not necessarily viewed as immature and passive beings who only receive such protection and care, but in a way the same person as an independent person. There is.

The Children's Rights Agency created the Children's Committee to provide opportunities for children to participate in various policy proposals related to their own lives.

Also, next year will be the 100th anniversary of Children's Day.

It's quite meaningful.

So, on this 100th Children's Day, I think it would be meaningful to raise awareness of children's rights, so we are planning various campaigns.

In addition, we are planning to publish a 100-year history of children's rights where we can look back on how the history of children's rights has been and how it has developed.]
