What are nurturance rights? What is an example of how one of these rights may be violated for some/all children in NYC

What are self-determination rights? What is an example of how one of these rights may be violated for some/all children in NYC

In adolescence, these rights you have described often clash with one another. When (if ever) do you think a parent needs to prioritize self-determination over nurturance?

answer each in a paragraoh

Answer 1

Nurturance Rights are those that defines the roles and responsibility of the parents in providing a safe environment, food, clothing and other facilities that would help the child develop as a better person. If a parent doesn’t take care of the child, do not provide enough facilities or subject the child to undergo physical violence, it would be considered as a violation of the Nurturance Rights.

Self-Determination Rights on the other hand refers to any decision that affects the child should be taken in the best interest of the children. For example, if the two parents are getting divorced, it’s definitely going to affect the child in all manner. So, the parents should sit and decide with whom the child would stay and who would be able to provide better environment to the child.

I think both the rights are very important, but if I have to support one over the other I would choose the Nurturance Rights to be very important because that’s the fundamental rights of a child that would affect the child throughout their lives.
