The period of childhood which falls between the early years and
adolescence is one which many parents perceive as crucial and
anxiety-provoking, but is a comparatively neglected area of study.
As a child reaches middle childhood, relationships within the
family have to be adjusted to accommodate the child's growing
independence and sexual development, and his or her attitudes to
these changes. While children are less worried about this period of
their lives than their parents, they too may suffer from
insecurities and have needs that they feel are overlooked or
minimised by adults. This book draws on interviews and group
discussions with parents and children of primary-school age,
conducted during two qualitative studies. It examines how children
perceive their social environs; what they want from their parents;
how aware they are of their rights. These are contrasted with their
parents' views of the same subjects and different styles of
parenting. Children's attitudes to risks such as bullying or taking
drugs often diverge startlingly from those of their parents. In its
combination of viewpoints, set against a background of related
research, law, policy and practice, this book offers a rich and
challenging study of an important period of the child's
development.
