Principle 7

Encourage me to be active and play with others

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

My well-being, social life, play, creativity, self-expression and learning can be enhanced when I collaborate and share with others. Provide me with experiences to help me build relationships and social skills with my peers and community, but also give me the tools to distance myself from those I do not want to have contact with. Encourage equality in your product or service by not highlighting differences that can be used in discrimination, such as number of friends or likes.
