"Anyone who has spent any time in the company of a newborn baby or infant will know that they are born ready to communicate. Unfortunately, across society we struggle to think of babies as rights holders. Perhaps this is because they can't share their views in the same ways as older children (i.e it's not as easy to ask them what they are thinking or feeling.) or maybe it's because they are so reliant on other people (often parents of carers) to have their rights fulfilled. It's possibly a bit of both. As children's rights come into sharper focus with the introduction of the UNCRC into Scottish Legislation, it's really time we tackle this issue
📅 2 days to go, to #TheRightStart Conf
Many myths linked to #BabiesRights, & we recognise that we don't have all the answers!
We look forward to exploring what babies rights could look & feel like in #Scotland #BabyUNCRC

A graphic that says 7 days till the Right Start
Myth 1: My baby can't speak yet, so they are too young to have a voice. Reality: Babies and Young children use lots of different ways to communicate with those around them, sharing their views and their experience of the world including, but not limited to, verbal voice (spoken word or otherwise), non-verbal communications like movement, expression, action, sound, gestures and silences
Only 7 days till #TheRightStart Conference ⏰
As we countdown to the big day, we are going to try & tackle some myths around #BabiesVoice & #BabiesRights
Starting with myth #1: My baby can’t speak yet. They are too young to have a voice🧵⬇️
