Abstract
This study seeks to find the position of the child and attention to childhood and its characteristics in public policy in Iran. The main question is what is the position of children in Iranian policy-making and what are the priorities of the agents in decision-making? By enumerating the laws and documents related to children, and by examining the possibility of their implementation, it evaluated the current situation of children and concluded that the government and politics in Iran have a valuable view on children and are looking for identity identification in educating children. . Numerous documents published in this field by governmental and non-governmental institutions, regardless of the conditions and realities of society, lack expert opinions and have idealistic and invaluable goals. On the other hand, rising inflation, the annual budget deficit and the general weakness of financial resources, have deprived the government of the possibility of achieving grand goals and ideological aspirations. Proper policy-making can be a way to reduce harm to children in Iran today. The solution is to change the view of the child and the issue of childhood and not to have a political attitude towards this issue.
