Children's rights are a subset of human rights with particular attention to the rights of special protection and care afforded to minors.Interpretations of children's rights range from allowing children the capacity for autonomous action to the enforcement of children being physically, mentally and emotionally free from abuse. Children are actually God’s gift to planet earth and if one keeps a child happy, they are keeping the almighty happy. Childhood is in fact God’s best gift to any individual, it is the first stage of life and a family is a place where the child is first born.

The most important thing is love and care which makes childhood memorable.
