A Deeper Look

I chose to look at the tab "Take Action".  In this section they write about several topic, two of them I explored in depth.  They are Love Me, Teach Me campaign and the Decade of the Child.
Love Me, Teach Me is a program to get teachers and parent to think about how they treat the children in their lives and around the world.  It is broken into four parts: See Me, Hear Me, Love Me, and Teach Me.  Each part deals with how children should be seen with respect.  See Me is about registering your child at birth to give them the rights they deserve.  Hear Me is about listening to your child and taking then into account when making decisions. Love Me is just what it say even if you do not have your own children stand up for others who need help.  Teach Me is about giving quality education to all children every where.
They also have another action starting in 2012 focusing in on children every where for next ten years.   Their goal to re-establish childhood as that and then try to answer these three questions:

During the Decade, we will seek to answer questions such as these:

• What is our view of the human being and how does that affect our view of childhood?
• Have changes in child-rearing practices and societal expectations of children served children well or contributed to a decline in their overall well-being?
• What supports children—and ultimately all of us—in creating strong relationships, a healthy environment, and opportunities for lifelong growth and learning; and how do we make these a normal part of every child’s life?(ACEI.org.)
