Principle 2

Give me room to explore and support my growth

Links to U.N. children’s right: RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT

I need to experiment, take risks and learn from my mistakes. If/when there are mistakes, support me to fix them by myself, or together with an adult. Encourage my curiosity, but consider my capabilities based on age and development. I need support to acquire new skills and encouragement to try self-driven challenges.
