A Child’s Right to Contribute...
Daddy works. He expends hours and brains and brawn and for this he gets money. The money, handed over at a store, buys food. A car is cared for because of money scarcity. A calm house and care of Daddy means Daddy works better and that means food and clothes and cars.
Education is necessary because one earns better after he has learned.
Play is necessary in order to give a reason for hard work.

First of all a child needs security. Part of that security is understanding. Part of it is a code of conduct which is invariable. What is against the law today can’t be ignored tomorrow.
You can actually handle a child physically to defend your rights, so long as he owns what he owns and can contribute to you and work for you.
Adults have rights. He ought to know this. A child has as his goal, growing up. If an adult doesn’t have more rights, why grow up? Who the devil would be an adult these days anyway?
