She pointed out that this year's motto of Iran's UNICEF "Listen to Children"
emphasizes the necessity of the participation of children in decision making.
She mentioned that children's opinions should be acknowledged in everyday life.
Whenever a child is grumbling or is dissatisfied, actually she or he is
expressing a desire to talk with the parents. Children want to convey their
