Published in association with Save the Children Priscilla Alderson
examines the often overlooked issue of the rights of young
children, starting with the question of how the 1989 UN Convention
on the Rights of the Child applies to the youngest children, from
birth to eight years of age. The question of finding a balance
between young children's rights to protection, to provision
(resources and services) and to participation (expressing their
views, being responsible) is discussed. The author suggests that,
in the belief we are looking after their best interests, we have
become overprotective of children and deny them the freedom to be
expressive, creative and active, and that improving the way adults
and children communicate is the best way of redressing that
balance. This second edition has been updated and expanded to
include the relevance of UNCRC rights of premature babies,
international examples such as the Chinese one-child policy,
children's influence on regional policies, and the influence on
young children's lives of policies such as Every Child Matters and
those of the World Bank, IMF, OECD and UNICEF. This readable,
informative and thought-provoking book is a compelling invitation
to rethink our attitudes to young children's rights in the light of
new theories, research and practical evidence about children's
daily lives. It will be of interest to anyone who works with young
children.
