Book Synopsis“Instead of trusting kids with choices . . . many parents insist on micromanaging everything from homework to friendships. For these parents, Stixrud and Johnson have a simple message: Stop.” —NPR“This humane, thoughtful book turns the latest brain science into valuable practical advice for parents.” —Paul Tough, New York Times bestselling author of How Children SucceedA few years ago, Bill Stixrud and Ned Johnson started noticing the same problem from different angles: Even high-performing kids were coming to them acutely stressed and lacking motivation. Many complained they had no control over their lives. Some stumbled in high school or hit college and unraveled. Bill is a clinical neuropsychologist who helps kids gripped by anxiety or struggling to learn. Ned is a motivational coach who runs an elite tutoring service. Together they discovered that the best antidote

SAR Press Figuring the Future: Globalization and the
Book SynopsisChild laborers in South Asia, child soldiers in Sierra Leone and Uganda, Chinese youth playing computer games to earn virtual gold, youth involved in sex trafficking in the former Soviet republics and Thailand: these are just some of the young people featured in the news of late. The idea that young people are more malleable and the truisms that "youth are the future" or "children are our hope for the future" give news stories and scholarly accounts added meaning. To address how and why youth and children have come to seem so important to globalization, the contributors to this book look at the both the spatial relations and the temporal dimensions of globalization in places as far apart as Oakland, California, and Tamatave, Madagascar, in situations as disparate as the idealization of childhood innocence and the brutal lives of street children. Discourses of, and practices by, youth and children, from the design of toys to political mobilization, are critical sites through which people everywhere conceive of, produce, contest, and naturalize the new futures.

University of California Press Precarious Protections
Book SynopsisMore children than ever are crossing international borders alone to seek asylum worldwide. In the past decade, over a half million children have fled from Central America to the United States, seeking safety and a chance to continue lives halted by violence. Yet upon their arrival, they fail to find the protection that our laws promise, based on the broadly shared belief that children should be safeguarded. A meticulously researched ethnography, Precarious Protections chronicles the experiences and perspectives of Central American unaccompanied minors and their immigration attorneys as they pursue applications for refugee status in the US asylum process. Chiara Galli debunks assumptions about asylum, including the idea that people are being denied protection because they file bogus claims. In practice, the United States interprets asylum law far more narrowly than what is necessary to recognize real-world experiences of escape from life-threatening violence. This is especially true for children from Central America. Galli reveals the formidable challenges of lawyering with children and exposes the humantoll of the US immigration bureaucracy.Trade Review"One of the most impressive ethnographic studies. . . .theoretically inspiring, methodologically rigorous, empirically rich, and politically significant. This brilliant book will be foundational to future studies of refugees and asylum seekers." * Sociology of Race and Ethnicity *Table of ContentsContents List of Illustrations Acknowledgments 1.

Fordham University Press Toy Stories: Analyzing the Child in
Book SynopsisToy Stories: Analyzing the Child in Nineteenth-Century Literature explores the stakes of recurrent depictions of children’s violent, damaging, and tenuously restorative play with objects within a long nineteenth century of fictional and educational writing. As Vanessa Smith shows us, these scenes of aggression and anxiety cannot be squared with the standard picture of domestic childhood across that period. Instead, they seem to attest to the kinds of enactments of infant distress we would normally associate with post-psychoanalytic modernity, creating a ripple effect in the literary texts that nest them: regressing developmental narratives, giving new value to wooden characters, exposing Realism’s solid objects to odd fracture, and troubling distinctions between artificial and authentic interiority. Toy Stories is the first study to take these scenes of anger and overwhelm seriously, challenging received ideas about both the nineteenth century and its literary forms. Radically re-conceiving nineteenth-century childhood and its literary depiction as anticipating the scenes, theories, and methodologies of early child analysis, Toy Stories proposes a shared literary and psychoanalytic discernment about child’s play that in turn provides a deep context for understanding both the “development” of the novel and the keen British uptake of Melanie Klein’s and Anna Freud’s interventions in child therapy. In doing so, the book provides a necessary reframing of the work of Klein and Freud and their fractious disagreement about the interior life of the child and its object-mediated manifestations.Table of ContentsPreface: A Toy Is Being Beaten | ix Introduction: Child’s Play | 1 1 Proper Objects | 27 2 Possible Persons | 54 3 Our Plays | 82 4 Bildung Blocks | 110 Conclusion: Toy Stories | 137 Acknowledgments | 147 Notes | 149 Works Cited | 189 Index | 205

Yale University Press Tudor Children
Book SynopsisThe first history of childhood in Tudor EnglandTrade Review“Tudor Children is social history at its best. . . . By connecting with our own history as children, Orme invites us to embrace a new way of engaging with the past.”—Joanne Paul, Times (UK)“Tudor Children is the first general study of the subject. It is crisp and factual and, with lots of enlivening illustration (prints, portraiture and pages of illuminated manuscript), beautiful to regard. . . . Mr. Orme has . . . done a yeoman’s job here of sleuthing out the details of childhood from an epoch that doesn’t seem to have been terribly interested in recording them.”—Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal“Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced by Yale for a non-specialist audience, it was the product of 50 years’ research, drawing on Orme’s many earlier books.”—Ian Sansom, The Telegraph“As Nicholas Orme shows in this elegant and hugely enjoyable book, once Tudor youngsters stepped out of the frame and into real life, they could be as cheeky and inappropriate as their modern counterparts.”—Kathryn Hughes, Sunday Times“That sense of the ordinary seized by strangeness—or, conversely, of strangeness punctured by recognition—captures exactly the experience of Tudor Children. . . . Encountering his subjects feels like time traveling in a double sense: they are versions of ourselves five hundred years ago and yesterday. Telling their stories takes enterprise, imagination, and tact—a capacity for hovering on the verge of childhood, looking as closely, sympathetically, and unsentimentally as possible without disturbing the scene. Orme does it beautifully, and he allows us to join him at it.”—Catherine Nicholson, New York Review of Books“Orme paints a vivid picture of every aspect of 16th-century children’s lives.”—Ian Sansom, The Telegraph, Summer reading list“Nicholas Orme’s book sets a precedent: historians overlook children to their own loss.”—Anna Parker, Times Literary Supplement“I loved this book for its pin-sharp glimpses of what really went on in the daily lives and minds of children.”—Ysenda Maxtone Graham, Daily Mail“The latest work by one of the most original and perceptive historians of English life writing today. [Orme’s] earlier books on childhood and education broke new ground and this one continues the tradition.”—Jonathan Sumption, The Spectator“The content [is] endlessly eye-opening . . . precise and colourful details . . . rich and compelling study.”—David Robinson, Country Life“Generalities regarding Tudor children are problematic: a child’s life chiefly depended on their status. . . . Yet Orme paints an intriguing world in flux.”—Bess Twiston Davies, The Tablet“Tudor Children is that rare thing: a book that will delight specialists and generalists in equal measure.”—Elizabeth Goldring, Literary Review“Orme’s is the first—and much overdue—survey of the period. His succinct and readable style and far-reaching scope will make the book an obvious choice for future undergraduate reading lists.”—Gabriel Bynge, Church Times“A captivating and visually stunning account, embellished with beautiful illustrations that enhance the reader’s understanding of the subject matter.”—Marc Daniel Rivera, KristiyaKnow“An endlessly fascinating and impeccably researched exploration of what it was like for children of all ages and backgrounds to grow up in sixteenth century England. This brilliant book provides the missing piece of the Tudor jigsaw.”—Tracy Borman, author of The Private Lives of the Tudors“Lavishly illustrated, this book is a joy to dip into or fully read. Professor Orme draws on a wide range of written and visual sources to give us vivid and varied descriptions of children’s lives from their birth to early deaths or adulthood.”—Susan Doran, author of Elizabeth I and Her Circle“This book offers the first modern compendium, from a wide range of primary sources and scholarly literature, of sixteenth-century English childhood. Delightfully illustrated and written in very readable style, the book gives a vivid sense of children’s experience. It shows that we gain a much richer understanding of Tudor society if we include its children.”—Glenn Richardson, author of The Field of Cloth of Gold“Wonderfully compelling, Nicholas Orme provides the first comprehensive account of Tudor childhood. Tudor Children is filled with fascinating examples from all levels of society and disproves, once and for all, any notion that childhood did not exist in the sixteenth century.”—Elizabeth Norton, author of The Lives of Tudor Women“A fascinating, detailed insight into Tudor childhood, full of pathos. Glimpsed at play and prayer, among family and avoiding peril, these children’s lives speak vibrantly across the years. Orme’s extensive research brings their distant lives closer in a rich and fulfilling study.”—Amy Licence, author of Anne Boleyn

Open University Press Towards A Sociology For Childhood
Book Synopsis"...explores some very timely and critical issues in the current development of Childhood Studies...It will be especially valuable for students because it integrates concrete empirical studies with reflection on underlying theoretical assumptions." - Leena Alanen, Professor in Early Childhood Education, University of Jyvaskyla, FinlandThis important book moves the sociology of childhood forward. Berry Mayall argues, that, since childhood is a permanent component of society, in order to understand how society works, we must take account of children as well as adults, otherwise our explanation omits an important social group. Children's lives are shaped by policies and practices, but they are also agents, who make a life for themselves through their relationships with adults and other children. This book argues that feminist theory and practice is useful for understanding childhood; we should start from the children's own accounts to show how the organisation of social relations Trade Review"...explores some very timely and critical issues in the current development of Childhood Studies...It will be especially valuable for students because it integrates concrete empirical studies with reflection on underlying theoretical assumptions."-Leena Alanen, Professor in Early Childhood Education, University of Jyvaskyla, FinlandTable of ContentsIntroductionStudying childhoodStudying relational processesRelations with parentsChildhood workThe moral status of childhoodTowards a child standpointComparing childhoodsGeneration and genderAppendixBibliographyIndex.

Open University Press Changing Play Play media and commercial culture
Book SynopsisThis book explores changes in the nature of the relationship between play, media and commercial culture through a comparison of play in the 1950s/60s and the present day, examining the continuities and discontinuities in play over time. There are many aspects of play which remain the same today as they were sixty years ago, which relate to the purposes of play, the way in which children weave in material from a range of sources in their play, including media, and how they play with each other. Differences in play between now and the mid-twentieth century are due to the very different social and cultural worlds children now inhabit, in which technology is central to many play activities. Challenging deficit notions of play in contemporary society and providing evidence to contest the recurrent myth of the disappearance of play, the book: Provides an historical account of changes in the relationship between play, media and commercial culture over the past sixty years OffersTable of ContentsIntroductionEarly studies of children's play and the legacy of Iona and Peter OpieForms of playMedia, technologies and play The material cultures of childhoodPlay in the institutions of homes and schoolsSpace and playGender, sexuality and playConclusionReferences

His childhood world was one where “sidewalk boys” learned the codes of the block and were ranked through the rituals of fist, stick, knife, and, finally, gun. In a stunning pairing, acclaimed comics creator Jamar Nicholas presents Canada’s raw and riveting account, one of the most authentic and important true stories of urban violence ever told.

Cambridge University Press Child Slavery Before and After Emancipation
Book SynopsisIf we are to fully understand how slavery survived legal abolition, we must grapple with the work that abolition has left undone, and dismantle the structures that abolition has left in place. Child Slavery before and after Emancipation seeks to enable a vital conversation between historical and modern slavery studies - two fields that have traditionally run along parallel tracks rather than in relation to one another. In this collection, Anna Mae Duane and her interdisciplinary group of contributors seek to build historical and contemporary bridges between race-based chattel slavery and other forms of forced child labor, offering a series of case studies that illuminate the varied roles of enslaved children. Duane provides a provocative, historically grounded set of inquiries that suggest how attending to child slaves can help to better define both slavery and freedom.Trade Review'These consistently excellent, highly insightful essays compel us to reconsider the problem of slavery as history and also as an agonizing contemporary challenge. The case developed here for a child-centered study of slavery, past and present, is truly compelling.' James Brewer Stewart, Founder, Historians Against Slavery'In this excellent and original collection, Anna Mae Duane and her team have carefully documented the political considerations, historical variations, and lived experiences that have too often been overshadowed by superficial appeals to tarnished innocence.' Joel Quirk, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and author of The Anti-Slavery Project'In a period preoccupied with collecting micro-level data on slavery's past and present, this collection of empirically informative and theoretically rich essays lays a thicket of thorny questions about the relationships among childhood, slavery, adulthood, consent, vulnerability, and freedom before readers. Duane has done an exceptional job of delineating these vital conceptual discussions that run through the volume and their urgent implications for current anti-slavery thinking and practice.' Jane Anna Gordon, author of Creolizing Political Theory: Reading Rousseau through Frantz Fanon'This collection of 11 interdisciplinary essays combines case studies from the 19th century to the present, arguing that examining historical and modern child slavery together enriches and informs its history and vice versa. … This thought-provoking book advocates interdisciplinary, integrated research centering on global child slavery, attentive to children's voices and responsive to human rights.'

James Brewer Stewart, Founder, Historians Against Slavery'In this excellent and original collection, Anna Mae Duane and her team have carefully documented the political considerations, historical variations, and lived experiences that have too often been overshadowed by superficial appeals to tarnished innocence.' Joel Quirk, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and author of The Anti-Slavery Project'In a period preoccupied with collecting micro-level data on slavery's past and present, this collection of empirically informative and theoretically rich essays lays a thicket of thorny questions about the relationships among childhood, slavery, adulthood, consent, vulnerability, and freedom before readers. Duane has done an exceptional job of delineating these vital conceptual discussions that run through the volume and their urgent implications for current anti-slavery thinking and practice.' Jane Anna Gordon, author of Creolizing Political Theory: Reading Rousseau through Frantz Fanon'This collection of 11 interdisciplinary essays combines case studies from the 19th century to the present, arguing that examining historical and modern child slavery together enriches and informs its history and vice versa. … This thought-provoking book advocates interdisciplinary, integrated research centering on global child slavery, attentive to children's voices and responsive to human rights.'

Cambridge University Press Children and Global Conflict
Book SynopsisOver one billion people under the age of eighteen live in territories affected by armed conflict. Despite this, scholars and practitioners often lack a comprehensive knowledge of how children both struggle within and shape conflict zones. Children and Global Conflict provides this understanding with a view to enhancing the prospects of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. This book presents key ideas and issues relating to children''s experiences of war, international relations and international law. The authors explore the political, conceptual and moral debates around children in these contexts and offer examples and solutions based on case studies of child soldiers from Vietnam, child forced migrants in Australia, young peace-builders in post-conflict zones, youth in the international justice system, and child advocates across South Asia and the Middle East.Trade Review'This is an important piece of work and fills what, for a long time, has been a significant gap in the literature - the relationship between children and conflict and the international responses to it. Huynh, D'Costa and Lee-Koo have written a book that students, academics and policymakers should read - and with some urgency.'

Cambridge University Press Children in Changing Worlds
Book SynopsisChildren live in rapidly changing times that require them to constantly adapt to new economic, social, and cultural conditions. In this book, a distinguished, interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the issues faced by children in contemporary societies, such as discrimination in school and neighborhoods, the emergence of new family forms, the availability of new communication technologies, and economic hardship, as well as the stresses associated with immigration, war, and famine. The book applies a historical, cultural, and life-course developmental framework for understanding the factors that affect how children adjust to these challenges, and offers a new perspective on how changing historical circumstances alter children''s developmental outcomes. It is ideal for researchers and graduate students in developmental and educational psychology or the sociology and anthropology of childhood.Trade Review'This volume marks another milestone in the maturation of developmental psychology. The chapters illustrate how human development can only be understood in the context of social, cultural, and historical circumstances and changes. Under the tutelage of Ross D. Parke and Glen H. Elder, Jr, developmental science is slowly coming of age.' Michael Lamb, University of Cambridge'Children's lives are being transformed by unprecedented challenges. This volume presents new knowledge and research models essential to every scholar and student who cares about how and why child behavior and well-being are changing, and thus about ways to redesign public policies and social institutions for coming generations of children worldwide.' Donald J. Hernandez, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York“This volume comprises a collection of excellent chapters that capture the effects of demographic, technological, economic, and sociocultural value changes on children's development. By using an interdisciplinary approach, each chapter locates development within a sociohistorical and cultural context, and thereby enriches our understanding of children's lives.' Ulrich Mueller, University of Victoria, Canada'Children in Changing Worlds is an extraordinary body of work. Edited by renowned scholars Parke (Univ. of California, Riverside) and Elder (Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), this collection helps readers understand child development in an ever-changing, fast-paced world. Focusing on children in urban environments, migrant children, and children of means, Parke and Elder have brought together world-class experts on child development and behavior. They delve into historical and life course transitions, facilitating in particular readers' understanding of the impact of education, developmental risks, and resilience. The book also immerses readers in the discourse on family and how it influences child development before concluding with an interdisciplinary dialogue from developmental and sociological perspectives.

Cambridge University Press A Magna Carta for Children
Book SynopsisThe UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in the world, yet everyday children still face poverty, violence, war, disease and disaster. Are the rights we currently afford to children enough? Combining historical analysis with international human rights law, Michael Freeman considers early legal and philosophical theories on children''s rights before exploring the impact and limitations of the Convention itself. He also suggests ways that we may rethink children''s rights in the future as well as identifying key areas for reform. This book will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience who are interested in children''s rights, children''s studies, the history of childhood, international human rights, and comparative family law. It is a crucial restatement of the importance of law, policy and rights in improving children''s lives.Trade Review'In this book, which is based on his 2015 Hamlyn Lectures, Michael Freeman embarks on an account of children's rights which is astonishing in its breadth and depth. No aspect is neglected, from the historical origins of the idea to the most contemporary issues in which children's rights are implicated. These are many, including globalisation, social inequality, migration, even climate change. The coverage is also global, with special attention given to South America and Africa. Freeman draws not only on law and legal theory, but also on other disciplines, such as sociology and neuroscience. But references to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child are interwoven throughout the text. Ultimately, however, it is an uncompromisingly political statement about children and the realities of the political and social world in which they live, and what still needs to be done to treat them properly.' John Eekelar, University of Oxford'I was delighted to hear that the 2015 Hamlyn lectures were to be given by the world's leading international children's rights scholar, Professor Michael Freeman. The three lectures, collated and expanded in this book, provide a fascinating and engaging overview of the theory and practice of children's rights. They are presented in Professor Freeman's inimitable style and draw on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the field. It is a must read for any scholar or student of children's rights.' Laura Lundy, Queen's University, Belfast'As a staunch and passionate advocate for children and their human rights, Michael Freeman's inspirational writings motivate enlightened legal and attitudinal change. His Hamlyn lectures raise important, thought-provoking questions to which he provides eloquent, witty and progressive responses. Through his profound wisdom and empathy, he lays the foundations for a more just and nurturing world for children.' Bernadette Saunders, Monash University, Australia'… the book is one of the best-informed publications on children's rights in the last 30 years.' Manfred Liebel, The International Journal of Children's Rights'What makes this book fascinating for long-established scholars of children's rights and newcomers alike is that it is written by one of the leading thinkers of children's rights who is deeply involved in the development of the field.'
