"This is an urgently needed book that explores a number of
different concepts of childhood in 21st century. The book
throughout considers enduring topics and new concepts of childhood,
and initiates a number of questions that students of education,
childhood and early childhood studies can engage as lines of
inquiries. The book offers a multidisciplinary approach of the
child today, that influences practice, policy, and education, and
offers diverse dimensions to provoke our thinking." - Dr. Ioanna
Palaiologou, Institute of Education, University College London How
we understand what 'childhood' means in today's society is
constantly changing, and the rate of this change is unprecedented.
This new edited book explores what it really means to be a child of
the 21st century, and how we as professionals, researchers, parents
and adults can understand an environment seemingly in constant
flux. Each chapter seeks to explore and problematise some of the
different 'labels' that we give to children in an attempt to
understand their contemporary experiences. From the Regulated Child
to the Stressed Child to the Poor Child the book covers a wide
array of key issues in contemporary childhood, including obesity,
risk, special needs, wellbeing and poverty. The pace of change in
childhood can be daunting but this book helps students,
practitioners and researchers to explore and understand the variety
of issues affecting children in the UK and all over the world.
