Children’s Liberation - a social-justice and rights-based parenting guide

A radical yet practical manifesto on why it’s time to rethink our treatment of children and their place in society. In Children’s Liberation, author and educator Eloise Rickman argues that we need to urgently rethink how we raise, educate, and treat children, and that the discrimination children face is a political and social justice issue which has been ignored for too long. Upholding children’s rights is crucial if we want a better world for us all — a future that could be within our grasp. Rickman shows the ways in which children are ignored, repressed, or actively harmed in many aspects of our society, considering everything from smacking and public shaming to the ways in which the school system disadvantages children and governmental failure to confront air pollution. Children are not passive victims though, and Rickman highlights examples of their resistance, from staging climate protests to ‘bad behaviour’. Drawing on sociology, philosophy, children’s rights, and educational theory, Children’s Liberation is at once a rousing call-to-arms and a hopeful book, featuring practical solutions and the voices of people who are working towards them. From educators creating schools where children are free to be themselves to the political campaigners advocating for children’s right to vote, Rickman shows that the positive changes we need are closer than we think.
