The coronavirus pandemic has affected the entire way of life so far, especially the realization of the rights of the child in the family. As a result of the pandemic, certain rights of children in the family were violated. The topic of this paper are the rights of the child in the family. The aim of this paper is to highlight the rights of the child in the family as a community in which the child grows up and achieves certain rights. Since the family is the primary community in which the child lives and grows up, it must provide him with love, freedom, understanding and provide conditions for the proper growth and development of the realization of all potentials. The rights of the child in the family regulate the relations and conditions in the family, but also in the child's environment and society. The Convention on the Rights of the Child stands out as the most important document related to the protection of the rights of the child, which provides the conditions for the harmonious development of the child. Despite the fact that there are other documents that protect children's rights, they are still beeing denied and children are getting abused, tortured and exploited. Therefore, the violation of children's rights represents a global problem, whose improvement requires a lot of work, cooperation of experts and various institutions, so that children's rights in the family are not denied and in order to develop awareness of children's rights and needs.
