Children's Day: history, traditions and facts. International Children's Day Article on Children's Day
It is one of the most important holidays in June. On the one hand, it is a fun holiday on which many different events take place. On the other hand, it is a reminder that every child needs protection. Adults should give children the opportunity to grow into healthy, honest, responsible people.
Where does safety begin?
June 1 is a holiday on which society should once again remember the need to create safe living conditions for children. One of the most important guarantees of culture is continuity. It concerns not only various traditions, but also the way of action. Every parent must understand his responsibility for the child, realize that it is his actions that can become the key to a happy life or a bitter tragedy. It all starts the moment the child is discharged from the hospital. Transportation must take place in a special car seat.
Over time, it should be replaced with a car seat. Even if the journey is very close, and the speed of movement cannot be called high. After all, an accident can happen on any part of the route. It is important that the little man is protected to the maximum. You should not risk your life in vain by crossing the road in the wrong place. Especially if there is a child nearby. That little one who rode in a car seat for years will not ride without a seat belt when he becomes an adult. If in childhood he crossed the road only when the light was green, then over time he will become a completely respectable pedestrian. Therefore, every adult must remember that it is within his power to raise a worthy person.
Story
June 1 (Children's Day) is considered one of the oldest holidays. The tradition of celebrating it dates back to 1925. Then the World Conference on Childhood and Youth took place in Geneva. The Chinese Consul General is considered the founder of Children's Day, June 1st. He invited a group of orphans to San Francisco and held a dragon boat festival for them. The date of this event clearly coincides with the Conference.
After the end of World War II, the issues of preserving the life and health of children acquired particular relevance. In 1949, another event took place in Paris - the Women's Congress, at which for the first time an oath was taken to tirelessly fight for world peace as the main guarantor of the safety, health and life of every child. And a year later, on June 1, 1950, this wonderful holiday was celebrated for the first time.
The first document that officially spelled out children's rights at the level of international legislation was the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It was adopted on November 20, 1989. 61 states signed this document. And already on July 13, 1990, the Convention was signed by the USSR.
Childhood in a person's life
Childhood is a very special period in the life of every person. It is at this time that he learns to understand how the world around him works. The early years are an integral part of the lifestyle of any people or culture. The life of every person begins from this period, so there is not a single inhabitant of the planet who is not touched by the June 1 holiday. Protecting children is everyone's business. Anyone who was once a child is obliged to take care of the life and well-being of other children.
On this holiday, adults should remember that every child has the right to freedom, safety, health, protection from all kinds of violence, as well as freedom of religion. Every child should be happy, have the opportunity to have fun and learn. Only in this way in the future will he become a truly worthy citizen of his country. One of the most important tasks of every adult is to preserve the life of the child, as well as his health.
Special day
On June 1, various events are held in every city - these are special excursions, exhibitions, concerts, lectures. Various organizations open their doors - amusement parks, museums, fairs. Not a single first day of summer is complete without a themed celebration. To create a festive atmosphere for your child, you can attend one of these events.
Celebration
June 1 events take place in many countries. The main guests of various entertainment and cultural events are, of course, children. Orphans and disabled people, as well as children from low-income and large families are invited. Various types of charity events are held all over the planet. Funds are being raised to help single mothers to help abandoned children. Such charitable events allow them, at least for a while, to find what they were deprived of from birth.
June 1 is Children's Day in many countries. It is usually celebrated in cultural and recreational parks. Various competitions and exciting concerts are often held there. And sometimes fun discos are even organized for teenagers. On June 1, Children's Day, adults delight children with various gifts, cotton candy, balloons, and toys. Just on this day the season of carousels and attractions opens. Despite the fact that this holiday is neither a birthday nor a New Year, every child looks forward to it. The best joy for every child is a gift on this special date. The joy given to a child will make an adult even happier. It’s so nice to see a child’s happiness.
Problems of children's populations in different countries
What is the percentage of the population who are children? It varies in different states, but on average it is about 20-25%. In different countries, children face different problems and threats. For example, in Europe and America, one of the negative factors is the influence of television and the Internet.
June 1 is a time to remember the problems of children in different countries. As for the countries of Africa, as well as Asia, children here are threatened by malnutrition, infections, and military conflicts. Illiteracy is widespread. Children are dying because there are not enough medicines and doctors. Therefore, in such countries the mortality rate among children is much higher. In addition, most children in such countries cannot receive a good education. Sometimes they are used as free labor.
Things to remember
June 1 is the day when you should once again remember the safety of your child. In order for the baby to tell his parents everything, it is important to learn the rule: the adult must react correctly to the baby’s revelations. No matter what happens, in no case should you reproach a child with words like “they warned him” and “how could he.” After all, then the child will close himself off, and mom and dad risk not knowing about possible dangers. The child must understand that in any, even the most terrible situation, he can count on the help and support of his parents.
You need to teach your child never to start communicating with strangers - even those who seem kind. Explain that the child is not at all obliged to answer questions asked by unfamiliar adults. Children also need to be told about the dangers that can await them on the Internet. It is necessary to explain that a person online is not always who he claims to be. The “friend” may turn out to be an adult criminal. Therefore, you cannot tell anyone your address and telephone number, place of study and other similar information.
International Children's Day is not only a holiday for carefree children, but also an excellent occasion for mobilizing the world community in the fight to preserve the health of the younger generation, for equal rights to education and upbringing, and to preserve a peaceful sky over every child. This day also serves as a reminder to the adult community that respect and observance of children's rights is the key to the formation of a prosperous, humane and fair society.
Children's Day is always celebrated cheerfully, with various events aimed at drawing attention to the plight of children around the world. The team of the RKDC “Victory” did not stand aside from this wonderful holiday, organizing an unforgettable event for the children of the village, plunging them into the world of a fairy tale. The entire square near the Victory Children's Cultural Center was decorated with bright balloons, children's music played loudly, and even for a minute it seemed that there was general joy and fun throughout the entire planet. This year, the club purchased hare and bear costumes, and sewed Mashenka’s costume from the well-known cartoon “Masha and the Bear,” which brought color and originality to the event. Small and older children immediately fell in love with these heroes and did not leave them for a minute. Even adults did not refuse to take photos with them. Deputy Mayor for Social Affairs O.A. came to congratulate the little residents of the village on Children’s Day. Babikova and the head of the Department of the Ministry of Social Development of Guardianship and Trusteeship for the Mamsko-Chuysky district Z.I. Pervukhina. The holiday was a great success, thanks to the team of the RKDC “Victory”, which throughout the event gave children joy and a smile with their competitions, songs and dances. Bright costumes and makeup made the holiday colorful, lively and fun. On this day, the teams of the Pobeda RKDC transformed into fairy-tale heroes. Instead of the usual groups, Masha and the Bear, the Hare, Antoshka, evil spirits performed by the Yunost group, flower fairies performed by the Stars group, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and, of course, the Fairy Tale itself appeared on the stage. The choreographic groups “Smileys” and “Tandem” under the direction of E.V. took part in the concert. Shamaev, “Salazhat” under the direction of V.E. Konkina. The youngest performer, Karina Taradanova, together with her dad, sang a wonderful, kind song “The Dog Is Missing.” By participating in competitions and games, children earned tokens, which they could later exchange for sweet prizes. The “Sweet Tooth” cafe was open for children and their parents, where adults and children could refresh themselves. Each child was given balloons, although they were not big gifts, they were still nice. The celebration ended with an incendiary Flash Mob at the end, with firecrackers and confetti exploding.
In conclusion, I would like to say that International Children’s Day is, first of all, a reminder to adults of the need to respect children’s rights to life, to freedom of opinion and religion, to education, rest and leisure, to protection from physical and psychological violence, to protection from exploitation of child labor as necessary conditions for the formation of a humane and just society. Childhood is the happiest time for many of us; we always remember the years of our youth and childhood with very warm feelings. So let us make every effort so that our children, the children of our time, can, in a few years, remember with a smile the years when they were little, when they grew up and entered adulthood.
Children rely on us, they trust us completely, they need us and cannot live without us. Let's not disappoint their childhood hopes, but help them be happier and more loved.
June 1 is World Children's Day. This holiday was widely celebrated throughout the country. It did not go unnoticed by the Old Alexandrovites either. On this day, young residents gathered within the walls of the local cultural center and were cordially greeted by O.A. Tutmina. She addressed the audience with the words: “Guys, your parents give you everything you need: food, clothing, education, and most importantly, care and love! These are your rights, which no one is allowed to violate. But you have one more right - the right to rest and entertainment, which you will use today.”
The holiday was opened by Rodikova and Daria Cherdakova. They sang "Hymn to Friendship". The children greeted with friendly laughter the appearance of the cheerful Barbariks - heroes of famous children's cartoons with the song "Bi-Bika". Their roles were played by Ksenia Rodikova and Elena Cherdakova. Vladimir Korneev presented to the audience a song about summer “Red Boy”. Olga Alekseevna asked riddles, the children enjoyed participating in funny competitions. To implement the holiday scenario, students Deyanova T. and Tutmina Y. were invited, who gladly made their contribution. Taking the initiative into their own hands, they held an entertainment program called “Playgrounds”. Tatyana Deyanova presented the musical games “We’ll go left now...” and “Comic gymnastics”. The results of the drawing competition “Hurray, Vacations!” were summed up. The best works were recognized as drawings by V. Korneev and K. Rodikova. The children played outdoor games, ball games, and danced in a circle for a long time. The game of ingenuity “Crocodile” turned out to be a novelty and everyone actively took part in it. The children received a great boost of energy. In conclusion, Olga Alekseevna said: « Radiant smiles and good mood to everyone! Because today is a really good day - Children's Day! And this is also the first day of summer. We wish you a good holiday, guys, and reward everyone with sweet prizes.” All the guys left the cultural center in a good mood.
But, I would like to note that Children’s Day is not only a fun holiday for the children themselves, it is also a reminder to society of the need to protect the rights of the child, so that all children grow up happy, study, do what they love and in the future become wonderful parents and citizens of their own. countries.

3. The meaning of the holiday
The purpose of the holiday is to solve the problems of children that exist even in the most developed countries.
If children in Africa and Asia are at risk of hunger and disease, then prosperous children have a number of problems associated with computer addiction. The Japanese are concerned about the penetration of Western values, and the population of Western Europe considers adolescent sexual activity to be too early.
Children's Day is a reminder that children's rights should not be forgotten. The opportunity to protect the younger generation from aggression, physical violence, and slave labor.
The essence of the holiday is awareness of all the responsibilities that adults bear in the lives of children - the future of our planet.

Special attention is paid to orphans and disabled people. A huge number of volunteers visit hospitals and orphanages to give children a little care and pay attention to those who do not have parents.
Often on Children's Day, creative groups perform and art exhibitions of children's drawings are held.
On this day, it is customary to provide support, thinking about the plight of disadvantaged children who find themselves in a difficult situation.
5. The flag is a symbol of a children's holiday
Children's Day has a flag recognized by many countries around the world.
- The green background represents fertility and harmony.
- The globe is a planet, the common home of all children.
- Multi-colored people around the planet mean tolerance, a symbol of tolerance towards different races.
6. Declaration and Convention for Children
The idea of protecting children did not go unnoticed by the UN. In continuation of the holiday, she created Declaration of the Rights of the Child.
At the heart of the Declaration was a call to respect the rights and freedoms of children. Parents, government agencies and non-governmental organizations were encouraged to recognize their responsibility in raising children and not infringe on their rights.
This document, created in 1959, had no legal force. The first legal document on children's rights is considered Convention, signed in 1990 by 61 countries. The document contained 54 articles that addressed the rights of children and the responsibilities of parents.
7. Some statistics
According to statistics, about 20-25% of the world's population are children. Despite the significant differences between countries, most countries in the world inevitably face danger to the life and health of a child.
In Russia, the number of children has been decreasing by a million every year since 2010. At the same time, the rate of abandonment of children abandoned in orphanages is growing.
Statistics also provide disappointing data on the number of children with developmental disabilities.
8. Guarantees of children's rights
In 1998, Russia approved a Federal Law aimed at protecting the rights of the child. This law established a number of guarantees protecting the interests of children.
Thus, the state recognizes childhood as the most important stage in the development of personality and instilling patriotism in every citizen of the country. Preparation for a fulfilling life and the development of creative activity and morality are recognized as important elements in raising children.
In the Russian Federation, a holiday dedicated to children is held under the patronage of a children's fund. The main participants of the event are children from large or low-income families, the disabled, and orphans.
The holiday begins with a solemn speech that affects the well-being of children around the world. Sports competitions and various competitions are held on the streets of the city, in which participants are awarded with gifts. The holiday usually ends with concerts and musical programs with the participation of children.
On this day it is customary to hold charity events and help children.
10. Children's Day in Japan
Japan is different in that in this country children have three holidays.
- Girls' holiday takes place on March 3 and is celebrated with an exhibition of dolls in kimonos.
- Boys' Day falls on May 5th. A flag with the image of a carp, symbolizing strength and courage, is hung on the door of the house.
- Third holiday celebrated on November 15th is the day of all children, which is called “Seven-five-three”, indicating the happiest age of the child.
11. Interesting traditions in Korea
In Korea, Children's Day has been celebrated since 1923; at first it was considered a boys' day. Celebrated every year on May 5th and recognized as a public holiday.
On this day, children receive long-awaited gifts from their parents and dress up in national costumes so that the younger generation does not forget the traditions and culture of the country.
12. Sweden and Africa
In Sweden, as in Japan, girls and boys have different holidays.
- Girls on their day they dress up in a Goddess costume in honor of Lucia.
- Boys dressing up as lobsters. Residents of Sweden believe that a lobster costume will give a boy courage and endurance.
In West Africa, a carnival is held in honor of Children's Day and lasts a whole month. At this time, all problems associated with difficult living conditions are forgotten so that children can enjoy the holiday.
13. What do they give for the holiday?
The best gift for a child on Children's Day will be the holiday itself. Creating a festive atmosphere, having fun at an amusement park or going to nature will be more valuable than any gift.
Children often know what they want and are happy to tell them what kind of gift they absolutely need.
However, a significant day spent with loved ones will remain in the memory much longer than just another toy.
Children are the most valuable asset that must be protected and protected from various adversities. Of course, the younger generation needs care not just once a year, but all year round. But on Children's Day, you can do a little more than usual by giving a piece of warmth to the kids.
International Children's DayInternational Children's Day is celebrated annually in more than 30 countries and is one of the oldest international holidays.
Every year on June 1, the world celebrates International Children's Day. This holiday was established in November 1949 in the capital of France by the decision of the congress of the International Democratic Federation of Women.
Children's Day was first held in 1950 in 51 countries around the world. The UN supported this initiative and declared the protection of the rights, life and health of children one of its priorities.
In accordance with the Geneva Declaration on the Rights of Children, adopted in 1924, the need for social protection of the rights of the child was proclaimed. The Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted on November 20, 1959 and proclaimed the equal rights of children in the field of upbringing, education, social security, physical and spiritual development, regardless of skin color, nationality, social origin, property status, etc.
The Declaration calls on parents, public organizations, and governments to recognize children's rights and promote their implementation.
Now it is difficult to say why June 1 was chosen as the date for this holiday. One common version is that on this day in 1925, a party was held in San Francisco for a group of Chinese orphans. It was organized by the Consul General of China, and they celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival. It turned out that the date of this Chinese holiday coincided with the time of the Geneva conference dedicated to childhood issues.
Currently, this holiday even has its own flag. On a green background, in the very center, there is an Earth sign, surrounded by stylized multi-colored human figures. These figures symbolize diversity and tolerance. The Earth sign is a symbol of our planet.
If only SUMMER doesn't go away...
If only SUMMER doesn't disappear...
If only there was SUMMER -
No matter how many...
He's still not enough...
Many people remember that genuine feeling of true childhood happiness - the beginning of the long-awaited holidays, Children's Day, drawings with chalk on the asphalt. Who should protect whom and from whom was completely unclear to us children back then, and the current younger generation hardly cares. But the feeling of celebration is certainly the most all-encompassing! Blue sky, hot summer sun, carefree noisy little people drawing colored clouds and houses with crayons.
Children's Day, which falls on the first day of summer, is one of the oldest international holidays; it has been celebrated all over the world since 1950.
The decision to hold it was made by the International Democratic Federation of Women at a special session in November 1949. The UN supported this initiative and declared the protection of the rights, life and health of children one of its priorities.
International Children's Day is, first of all, a reminder to adults of the need to respect children's rights to life, to freedom of opinion and religion, to education, rest and leisure, to protection from physical and psychological violence, to protection from exploitation of child labor as necessary conditions for the formation of a humane and just society.
Children's Day is always celebrated with various events aimed at drawing attention to the plight of children around the world. In 1959, the UN adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which included articles calling on parents, state bodies, local authorities and governments, and non-governmental organizations to recognize the rights and freedoms of children set out in them and strive to respect them. The declaration was only advisory in nature and had no binding force. Other laws were required, and on November 20, 1989, the UN adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was signed by 61 countries. On July 13, 1990, the Convention was ratified in the USSR.
The rights of children in Russia are protected by the Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation” of July 24, 1998. The law establishes the basic guarantees of the rights and legitimate interests of the child, provided for by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in order to create legal, socio-economic conditions for the realization of the rights and legitimate interests of the child.
The state recognizes childhood as an important stage of a person’s life and proceeds from the principles of priority of preparing children for a full life in society, developing their socially significant and creative activity, and instilling in them high moral qualities, patriotism and citizenship.
Children who often “fall out of sight” of authorities and society as a whole need special attention: children in crisis situations, children living with HIV, “street children,” children of migrants and others.
One of the most pressing problems in Russia is the situation of disabled children and their families. Today there are more than 600 thousand children in the country who have the status of “disabled”.
So Children’s Day should be valued as a holiday that helps children’s social development, physical and mental.
Childhood is the happiest time for many of us; we always remember the years of our youth and childhood with very warm feelings, but not all people can boast of such joyful memories in childhood. So let us make every effort so that our children, the children of our time, can, in a few years, remember with a smile the years when they were little, when they grew up, and entered adulthood.
Children rely on us, they completely and completely trust us, they need us and cannot live without us. Let's not disappoint their childhood hopes, but help them be happier and even more loved.
Defenseless, dear ones,
Our children are dear,
We caress and cherish you,
We love you deeply and regret you.
On the day of protection, at this hour
The bright holiday is only yours!
We, as much as we can,
We will protect you from harm!
On the first day of summer all the children
Celebrate the holiday of light!
Every adult will answer you:
Our happiness is our children!
What kind of holiday? Defense Day
Childhood, nipple and panties,
And gently sewn toys
A mother for her children,
And cribs and pillows,
And multi-colored jump ropes,
And rattling rattles,
And of course candy!
Protect them from grief
Love tenderly!
Children are our pride
Take care of your childhood!
We all come from childhood,
From a beautiful country.
I keep in my heart
Childhood vivid dreams.
I'm not a child for a long time,
But as before in the night
I light up in the dark
Yellow ray of a candle.
And I dream about something long ago,
What can no longer be returned -
Glorious time of childhood,
And again there is sadness in my heart.
How quickly everything went by,
It flew past us...
Take care of your childhood -
Here's the best order for you!
Create for children
You are your Russia,
Protect them from evil
Take care of your family!
Children are our joy
There are no relatives
Happiness given by God
Take care of him!
The first of June has arrived
And suddenly peace arose in the world -
The nurses have gone somewhere,
The whims are all over in an instant,
And all the parents are in vain
The anxious ones do not take their eyes off them:
After all, today is a holiday for children!
Well, happy holiday, kids!
On the first day of sunny summer
We congratulate all children
With the warmth of the hearts of all those warmed
Us, adults, devoted friends.
May the sky be clear and blue,
May everyone be happy days and nights.
Let their laughter sound everywhere,
And joy is common to everyone.
For happy smiles and cheerful children's laughter
We will say thank you to the people who care about those
Who lives and believes in fairy tales, expects warmth, love and affection,
Who perceives the whole world only in pure, bright colors!
You with an open, sensitive heart and a wide soul
Protect the world of childhood with endless kindness.
And we would like to wish you the first of June
Easy, without difficult obstacles and happy fate to you!
Childhood passes quickly, without return,
Hiding around the turn of the years,
Yesterday's careless guys
People from the past are already sending us greetings.
Today we are no longer children,
We have problems, connections and affairs,
But these are the golden years, my friend.
We will never forget you.
And you and I will not return to childhood,
But on this day with special warmth,
I really want to make my son smile,
Holding his curly head close to you!
Summer and sun, abandoned books,
The girls are happy and the boys are happy.
So many fun worries and troubles,
The guys have been waiting for them for almost a whole year.
And the first day of June -
All Children's Day.
Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts!
Happiness to you, kids!
