Article 4

Article 4
 "The government should make these rights available to children."
Article 4 I feel is a very important foundation to the UNCRC. Children are only able to get these rights if the government even lets them know that they're available. If a child doesn't know about any rights he or she has then how are they able to make sure they aren't being treated unfairly? By having the government making these rights known to children, thee children are able to fulfill them and make sure they're getting treated fairly and equally.

Article 42

Article 42

"Governments must make the convention known to children and adults." 
This article is honestly extremely important. It's vital for children and individuals to understand what rights children have and how to make sure their rights aren't being violated. Similarly to article 12 children should have access to all and any important information. Knowing their rights would go under that important information.

Article 12

Article 12 
"Every child has the right to say what they think in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously."



This is an important article because it ultimately affects the child, their body and their life. If they are going to make a decision it will affect them for the rest of their lives so why should it be 100% left up to someone else without their input at least? For an adult it is super important for them to allow the child access to any and all information that would aid them in making their mind up. It's also important for the child to understand any consequences of their decision as well.
