Children encourage their peers to speak up and be true to themselves

Children who can speak up and be themselves can make big change, which is why we love the video from Big Life Journal of children giving a big dose of encouragement.

“What you have to say is important.” “Your ideas matter.” “Your voice matters, your opinion matters,” are some uplifting words expressed by the children in the video. They also remind us it’s OK to ask for help when it’s needed.

At Children Believe, we give children the support to build their skills and confidence to know their rights and speak up to make positive change for their future.

Watch the video for a reminder that it’s important to speak up and be true to yourself.
