In today's society children's rights are no longer a novelty, but their respect has not yet reached the desired level. The school continues to dominate the traditional type of teaching where students are passive viewers, and teachers are always right and the main source of information. Equally, in families, the rights of the child are not recognized enough because parents believe that children are beings who need only protection. It is necessary to introduce some changes or at least start by informing about the rights of a child. In order to find out what the current state of the child's rights was, a survey was conducted on the students' information and attitudes toward children's rights. The survey was conducted on a sample of 161 students in third and fourth grade from two primary schools. Parent consent for conducting this examination is provided in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Children Research. Data processing showed that respondents were familiar with the rights of the child. The most commonly mentioned rights are the right to play, the right to health care, and the right to education. The results show that more than half of them believe that special rights for children are needed. It turned out that respondents mostly heard about children's rights at school. However, almost all respondents consider that parents have to tell them what rights they have. The most frequently-mentioned rights that the respondents consider to be the most important for children are the right to health care, then to play, and the right to education. The most violated rights are the right to protection against abuse, the right to play, and the right to education. It has been shown that most respondents believe that children should decide what to wear, with who will hang out, and what activities they will do in their free time. The results have shown that most respondents consider that is not right that parents scream at children and hit them, while the less of respondents consider that it is not right to punish children in any other way.
