Abstract

This paper presents some ideas on the child rearing practices and their need to carry out the ideals expressed in the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, endorsed by the League of Nations in 1924 and re-affirmed by the United Nations in 1948. The fifth point of this Declaration stated: The child must be brought up in the consciousness that its talents must be devoted to the service of humanity. Discussed are the updates to the rights of the child, privatised individualism and passivity issues. Also featured are the ideas of Eva Cox in her 1996 ABC Boyer Lectures describing her concepts about a truly civil society and a culture of child rearing which expects children to be aware of the needs of others, to be co-operative and to be able to work in groups.
