This book explores the links between recent reports of increasing
levels of unhappiness and mental health problems amongst children
and young people, and changes within childhood which restrict and
reduce opportunities for children to develop and maintain
resilience. Although in academic terms children may be viewed as
beings, Creasy and Corby posit that there is much to suggest that
for parents, practitioners and policy-makers, children are
primarily seen as becomings. The book argues that viewing children
as becomings, together with the idea that childhood is fraught with
danger, contributes to practices and policies which can be seen as
making childhood tame. This taming of childhood leads to an
impoverished childhood that does not provide the space that
children need to grow and develop. Furthermore, Taming Childhood?
challenges the idea that young adults are 'snowflakes', unable to
cope with everyday pressures. Students and scholars across a range
of social science disciplines will find this book of interest.
