ACTIVITY

1-2 hours

Should I do the activity alone?

Yes, but you can also do it in a discussion group.

 

After completing the activity…

I/we should be able to:

  • Understand your rights and duties as a parent.
  • Be aware of rights, duties and responsibilities.

What do I have to do?

Read the article about German parenting.

Use the Parents’ Rights Charter as a reference text to explore your own rights and responsibilities.

Please answer the questions if you think each statement is true (T) or false (F) (be aware of the rights of the child, too).

After completing the activity make a list of topics you have or would have seeked guidance on from professionals or fellow parents (peer):

  • What support would you need to defend your rights as a parent in school/setting?
  • What support would you need to defend your rights as a parent in the community?
  • What support would you need to defend your rights as a parent at work?
  • What are the main obstacles that may prevent you from fulfilling your parental duties?
