NATIONAL CHILD’S DAY wants to give every child a good support system and chance to flourish.  Letting them know that they matter and are loved is a good start.  I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that this day is observed on the anniversary of the UN adopting the Universal Declaration of Children’s Rights (1959).
