It is set out in the English Key stages system where Key Stage 1 is  5-7 year old and Key stage 2 is 7-11 year old. Use the ones you think your child will benefit from and have fun. After all there’s never enough of that commodity around.

There are over 40 United Nations Rights of the Child and all people who work with children, and children themselves should be aware of them. At the Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People’s website there is a good resource that explains the rights in a series of pictures. Go over them with your child, it will make for an interesting and thought provoking discussion.
