Abstract


Abstract
In this paper the author elaborates the issue of the child's right to play through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. As the three main challenges she puts forth the questions of recognition, respect and promotion of children's right to play. Referring to the studies which indicate that the time children spend playing is getting shorter, she points out the problem of the "subtle" violation of children's rights as well as the direct consequences of shorter time for play on the child's intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. The author also shortly elaborates the connection between play and decrease/increase in violence amongst children.
Key words: child; play; importance of play; right to play; violation of the right to play.

Sažetak

Autorica u ovom radu obrađuje temu prava djece na igru kroz Konvenciju o pravima djeteta i kao tri ključna izazova navodi pitanje prepoznavanja, poštivanja i promicanja prava djece na igru. Referirajući se na istraživanja koja pokazuju da se vrijeme koje djeca provode u igri sve više smanjuje, ukazuje na problem “suptilnog” kršenja prava djeteta, kao i na izravne posljedice sve kraćeg vremena igranja na djetetov intelektualni, društveni, emocionalni i fizički razvoj. Autorica se u radu također kratko bavi povezanošću igre i smanjenja/povećanja nasilja među djecom.

Ključne riječi: dijete; igra; važnost igre; pravo na igru; kršenje prava na igru
