A child is a child. It is not wise to talk about his or her rights and duties. If a child is told about his or her rights he or she has no idea about its meaning and implications and ways to get them. If a child is told about his or her duties he or she has no idea about its meaning and implications and shall not recognize the import that these have to be delivered.

I'm not sure if you have your own child or how old are they. But, a child need to be told about their duty and about parents duty as well , so these can help both work better in term of upbringing and family matters. A child at some point do understand the meaning and implications of this. Every time I discuss with my kids about my role as a mother, my duty as a parents and their duty as a child, the do understand clearly about it. Of course the explanation had to parallel with the level and age of the child. But, we cannot assume the child has no idea about the meaning and implication. when I talk about what they can and they cannot, I talk about why I do this and that, which is not from me as a mother, but from Allah swt. If I don't bother about how Allah swt will ask me in the day of judgement, I will not spend my time, energy and money and time for them as I did. or I will not told them what they can do or not. But, I need to as this is a command from Allah swt.

Of course children right is equal to parents duties. They are both same meaning. Children have a right for food, shelter, clothes, education, good upbringing and this is also parents duties to provide. I cannot see they can be any different. But, by talking about children right and not parents duties, at least it will not just be ME, ME and ME. But, others.
