Society is making great strides in increasing awareness of
oppression and injustice, but one group remain mistreated, with
unequal human rights, and remains under-discussed: children.
Commonly recommended parenting and discipline methods, such as
sleep training, school isolations and public shaming treat children
in inhumane ways that would cause uproar if adults would treated
similarly. Children's needs and feelings are frequently dismissed
and ignored by adults. They are taught to blindly obey adults in
the name of 'respect', though respect is so rarely shown to them by
adults. We are a society who are afraid of treating children
kindly, as evidenced by the almost constant uproar and ridicule of
the 'gentle parenting' movement by the media today. Because each of
us have been raised to believe that the rights of children matter
less than those of adults, we subconsciously continue the cycle of
childism from one generation to the next. Inside each of us is
buried hurt, generational trauma and shame, and decades - if not
centuries - of prejudice towards children. It's time to change
things. It is ridiculous that children, the future of our world and
the key to smashing all other stereotypes, are the last oppressed
group to have their maltreatment fully recognised. This is a timely
book, a blend of childcare history, sociology, psychology,
anthropology and current affairs and pop-culture coverage, aiming
to raise awareness of a much undiscussed issue, but one that will
surely be spoken of increasingly in the future. It is an urgent
call to action. If we want to change the world for the better, we
must start with treating our children better.
