The seven principles of Catholic Social teaching are presented here with definitions for children.

The Dignity of the Human Person

(Ages 7 and up): God made every single one of us. This makes us incredibly special. It doesn’t matter who we are, who are friends are, what we own, or what we look like. What matters is that we are special because we are God’s creations. This means too that we must treat others with great respect and fairness because God made them too.

(Ages 3 to 6): God made each of us, which means each of us is very special. It is not important if you are tall or small, or happy or sad, or if you have many toys or no toys. What is important is that each of us is special because of God’s love. And we must treat others in a caring way because they were made by God too.
