Abstract

Currently, the problem of protection of pre-school children’s rights in Lithuania has become of utmost importance, a big number of parents are not even aware of children‘s rights or hardly realise the necessity to consider and respect them. The purpose of this study was to reveal parents' opinion about the rights of pre-school children. The methods used in the study were analysis of literature; parents' opinion survey, interview and SPSS. The research revealed that parents only partially respect and protect children’s rights, respect for children‘s rights to biggest extent depends on parents education, gender, nationality and place of living. To optimise collaboration of family, pre-school education and local governmental institutions, non-governmental organisations ‘Save the Children’ and UNICEF Lithuania on issues related to children‘s rights.
