The Child's Right to Play (UN Convention on the Rights of the Child)

The Child's Right to Play, as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, recognizes that children have a fundamental right to engage in play and recreational activities. Play is essential for their physical health, social skills, creativity, and emotional well-being. It allows children to explore, learn, and develop in a safe environment. The Convention emphasizes that adults should provide children with the opportunity and freedom to play, ensuring that playtimes are protected and accessible for all children, regardless of their background or circumstances.
