Ideally, children will grow up in a stable, loving environment with a pair of loving parents. Unfortunately, with the 50% divorce rate in this country, this is often not the case.

Even when children do have two loving parents, there are certain rights and privileges that they deserve. For example, when they are given something such as a toy or even an article of clothing, it should belong to them and they should have the exclusive responsibility of taking care of it.

Also, they deserve the right to help the family by contributing to it in whatever way they can. Responsibility and ultimately happiness will be a byproduct of having regular chores that help out the parents and or the rest of the family.
