“We often say that children are little people with little rights; what I say, though, is that children are indeed little people, but they have special rights and, above all, special expectations,” stressed the Prime Minister in his address. The Prime Minister then pointed out that children with special needs want two things above all: “They want a functioning family or parents who can match their expectations with their children’s abilities and who have society by their side. And like all other children, they want to socialise with their peers.” Dr Golob also stressed that as a society we must also help parents who face daily challenges in both their personal and professional lives.
