It's a good start! You could also include:

Article 4 (Protection of rights)
Article 12 (Respect for the views of the child)
Article 13 (Freedom of expression)

Hi..

Had to re answer this Q..

Does this sound better ??

I would uphold the child’s right by making sure that the child is able to access all their rights because they are still growing and learning and sometimes need extra protection to help them along because of their age.
Also any decision that is made or action taken that may affect the child, I would make sure to prioritise it so there best interest comes first and I would also provide the child with every opportunity to develop so that they reach their full potential. I will also take the time to listen to the child views and work with them to find the best way to solve their problems they may be facing.

Yes! I think it sounds better since you have added those extra points!
