In order to establish a safe and healthy living environment for all children, Deputy Prime Minister suggested that ministries, departments, localities, and socio-political organisations continue to listen, consider, and respond to the appropriate opinions and aspirations of children. Building a safe, friendly, and healthy living environment is good for children and for the sustainable development of the nation. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha had a statement while joining fellow leaders from ministries and departments in listening to the sharing and questions from over 188 children representing 25 million peers across the country at the 7th National Children's Forum on August 8th, 2023.

Under UNICEF, children are the future of any society, and their well-being is crucial for social stability and security. Ensuring their development in a nurturing and secure environment requires a collaborative effort among three fundamental pillars: the family, schools, and society. These three entities must work hand in hand to create a supportive network that fosters love, care, and the best possible conditions for children to thrive. Strengthening cooperation among these pillars is essential to producing well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their communities.

He believed that many issues raised by the young participants are directly related to childcare and protection, while also truthfully reflecting the institutionalisation and implementation of strategies and legal policies aimed at building a better environment within families, schools, and society. At the four-day event, the Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha praised and highly appreciated the efforts of children to overcome difficulties.
He also expressed his expectation that the younger generation would create remarkable achievements to lead Vietnam towards a glorious future, standing shoulder to shoulder with powerful nations across the world.
The Deputy Prime Minister also praised the Ministry of Labour - Invalids and Social Affairs, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the Ministry of Education and Training, the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education, as well as several ministries, departments, organisations, and localities for their recent deployment and scaling of various models concerning children's participation.
Among them, he highlighted the children's forums at all levels, provincial and district-level children's councils, grassroots children's groups within communities, and children's rights clubs, which contribute to nurturing confident, responsible citizens who are ready to contribute with their skills and intelligence from an early age.
In order to establish a safe and healthy living environment for all children, Deputy Prime Minister suggested that ministries, departments, localities, and socio-political organisations continue to listen, consider, and respond to the appropriate opinions and aspirations of children.
This involves focusing on enhancing cooperation among all three pillars: family, schools, and society, to provide love and the best conditions for children.
Priority should be given to boosting education, nurturing knowledge, cultivating soft skills, life skills, and aiding children in coping with violence, physical or mental abuse, as well as drowning.
He requested ministries and agencies to actively engage in building codes of conduct and online safety, implementing effective measures to prevent harmful and inappropriate content for children and adolescents.
Moreover, he emphasised the initiation of numerous movements to safeguard a clean and beautiful environment, cultivate a friendly lifestyle in harmony with nature, and promote the creation of a greener, cleaner living environment for children.

The family is the primary and most influential environment in a child's life. Parents and guardians shape the child's values, provide emotional support, and set the foundation for their cognitive and social development. A loving and stable home environment fosters a child's sense of security, confidence, and resilience.

To enhance cooperation, families must actively engage in their children's education by maintaining open communication with teachers and participating in school activities. Encouraging a culture of continuous learning at home, promoting positive behavior, and setting examples of respect and discipline are fundamental ways families can contribute. Additionally, families should collaborate with social institutions to ensure that children receive the necessary support when facing challenges such as bullying, mental health issues, or economic hardships.

It is important to create more channels and platforms for children to voice their aspirations, participate in policy development, and contribute to the improvement of policies related to the rights and interests of children, as stipulated in the constitution, laws, and international treaties.
Deputy Prime Minister said every family, sectors at all levels, and the entire society need to take even more specific actions to care for adolescents and children, especially those in difficult circumstances, in underprivileged, border, and island areas, so that all children receive attention and comprehensive development.
During the forum, children had the opportunity to meet and interact with leaders from various ministries, departments, organisations, and relevant agencies for children.
They posed numerous questions regarding topics of current concern. These included issues related to violence and child abuse, psychological support for children affected by violence and abuse, free swimming lessons, especially for disadvantaged children, ensuring children's safety in the online environment, and enhancing the quality of school-based counseling services.
