I feel a basic human right is to have your own personal space, at the moment under U.K. Law a child can share with their parent until the age of 10 years old no matter the sex of the child. I feel this is unacceptable. 

I currently share a  room with my four year old daughter, in a one bedroom flat. The size of the property is effecting both my health and my daughters growth she is being disturbed when I go to bed not sleeping well throughout the night and when she isn’t waking up through my movement and due to myself suffering from Chari Arnold malformation can sometime be up all night in agony she snores which disturbed me getting the rest I need to complete a full days work.

These are are a few points which effect my day to day life due to sharing a room-:

*my daughter suffers separation anxiety and this will only get worse as she gets older as she doesn’t have her own space to grow and call her own.

*no space for any bedroom necessaries.

*no room for her to play or get creative.

*I won’t have any relationship because I have no space and privacy and it’s a natural basic right.

millions of children suffer from co sharing with a parent or parents and this can have an decremental effect on the education and physical growth of the child developing into other issues later in life.
