Children who feel seen, loved and honoured are far more able to become loving parents and productive citizens capable of making wise choices. That’s why putting children first is the key to restoring our planet. Child Honouring offers a unique way forward for humanity – a systemic approach for addressing major challenges we face. Child Honouring can create a stronger and more durable social and ecological foundation in four ways: 1. Healing communities 2. Fostering character growth in children 3. Restoring ecosystems and detoxifying environments 4. Creating learning environments that educate and inspire an entire generation to carry out these tasks Children are not a partisan concern, and Child Honouring is not pitted against any person or ideology. Its allegiance is to children, and to their families. It speaks emphatically for the birthright of children in every culture to live in a world of love, dignity and security.
