Korczak’s principles of child welfare

Korczak’s principles of child welfare emphasize respecting children as individuals with their own rights, dignity, and feelings. He believed children should be involved in decisions affecting them and treated with genuine care and understanding. His approach advocates for nurturing environments that promote emotional, physical, and moral development, viewing children not as passive recipients but active participants in their growth. Respect, kindness, and listening are central to his philosophy, with a focus on fostering their independence, self-esteem, and sense of responsibility within supportive, loving communities.
