Key Issues in Childhood and Youth Studies presents an informed
and critical commentary on a range of key issues related to
children and childhood, from birth to eighteen years. Challenging
current orthodoxies within the adult world on the nature of
childhood, it is an essential text for students of childhood and
youth studies as well as those studying relevant professional
qualifications in social work, teaching and health.
Exploring ideas from the historical development of childhood to
the demonising of youth, it is divided into five clearly defined
sections, each with their own editorial introduction which
highlights the key themes. The sections focus on:
- the concept and creation of childhood
- child development
- ideas of risk, protection and childhood
- the politics of childhood
- international perspectives on childhood.
This invaluable textbook provides an overview of childhood and
youth studies and encourages students to think about the issues
discussed and to develop their own ideas. Each chapter contains
student activities, key concept boxes, recommended further reading
and a reflection exercise.
