子どもへの性加害は、心身に深い傷を残す卑劣な行為だ。

In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr W. Thomas Boyce - one of the world’s foremost researchers in the field of paediatric health - presents findings that children have two very different responses to their environments. While some children are like dandelions and can thrive in almost any environment, there are others who, like orchids, are much more reactive and susceptible to their surroundings. Now we finally have a scientific framework to understand these children and how to address their unique needs to help them find their fullest potential.

When Sara Zaske moved from Oregon to Berlin with her husband and toddler, she was surprised to discover that German parents give their children a great deal of freedom. In Berlin, kids walk to school by themselves, ride the subway alone, cut food with sharp knives and even play with fire. German parents did not share her parental fears, and their children were thriving.

Class does make a difference in the lives and futures of American children. Drawing on in-depth observations of black and white middle-class, working-class, and poor families, Unequal Childhoods explores this fact, offering a picture of childhood today. Here are the frenetic families managing their children's hectic schedules of "leisure" activities; and here are families with plenty of time but little economic security.

What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our sons will have less education than their dads. It's a crisis of mental health. As boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of sexuality. Sex is a minefield for our sons. They're bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

She sees that these cultures don’t have the same problems with children that Western parents do.

A holiday classic by Charles Dickens. Originally published in 1843, Dickens worried about the disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished, and it was his attempt to bring this disparity into the light of day, to appeal to the die-hard capitalists to take care of the downtrodden masses. Since this inequity continues, this story is still popular, and will probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

An Avid Reader Press book. Simon & Schuster has a great book for every listener.

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs. But in How Children Succeed, Paul Tough argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character.

Foster Parent Collaboration: A Guide for Social Workers and Other Professionals argues that the foster care system is in crisis and one strategy for meaningful change is for social workers and other professionals to collaborate with foster parents. The collaboration will assist with increasing foster parent retention and the quality of care they can provide to children in their homes. The book provides practical suggestions supported by current research for how this can be done.

In this poignant memoir, Charles Spencer recounts the trauma of being sent away from home at age eight to attend a boarding school. A Very Private School offers a clear-eyed firsthand account of a culture of cruelty at the school Spencer attended in his youth and provides important insights into an antiquated boarding system.

"Kindheit 6.7", jahrelang investigativ recherchiert, ist eine Geschichte der Kindheit und zugleich Zivilisationskritik. Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer und Manifest für ein wieder menschenwürdiges und "artgerechtes" Aufwachsen von Kindern, für eine neue Wertschätzung der familialen Sozialisation und für vollständige Bildungsfreiheit.

The Battle of Hastings and its aftermath nearly wiped out the leading families of Anglo-Saxon England—so what happened to the children this conflict left behind? Conquered offers a fresh take on the Norman Conquest by exploring the lives of those children, who found themselves uprooted by the dramatic events of 1066. Among them were the children of Harold Godwineson and his brothers, survivors of a family shattered by violence who were led by their courageous grandmother Gytha to start again elsewhere.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, a bright new age for children appeared on the horizon, with progress on ending child labor, providing public education, combating indigence, promoting wellness, and creating a juvenile justice system. But a hundred years on, the promised light has not arrived. Today, more than eleven million American children live in poverty and more than four million lack health insurance.

Tracking deep into our evolutionary history, anthropological science has begun to unravel one particular feature that sets us apart from the many, many animals that came before us—our uniquely long childhoods. Growing Up Human looks at how we have diverged from our ancestral roots to stay ‘forever young’—or at least what seems like forever—and how the evolution of childhood is a critical part of the human story.

When Sky and her older sister Avril were taken into care, the social workers knew this was a case like no other. Raised by unhinged parents who hoarded compulsively, creating horrific conditions no child should live in, the two girls arrived at foster carer Louise's home, neglected, malnourished and indoctrinated. Louise had to draw on all of her experience as one of Britain's leading foster carers to rehabilitate and change the course of their lives.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies had become deeply embedded in children’s lives, despite a growing body of research detailing the harms of excessive immersion in the unregulated, powerfully seductive, profit-driven world of the “kid-tech” industry. In Who’s Raising the Kids? Linn—one of the world’s leading experts on the impact of Big Tech and big business on children—explores the roots and consequences of this monumental shift toward a digitized, commercialized childhood, focusing on kids’ values, relationships, and learning.

Schools have long meant more than an education in America. Flawed, inequitable, underfunded, and segregated, they remain the most important engine of social mobility and the crucible of our democracy. The cost of closing them for so long during COVID, made with good intentions, has not been fully reckoned with. In The Stolen Year, Anya Kamenetz follows families across the country through the pandemic. She dives deep into the history that brought us to this point, making the case that 2020 wasn't a lost year—it was taken from our children by years of neglect and bad faith.

La niñez es nuestra plataforma de despegue, el periodo de la vida en el que el aprendizaje es más intenso, y adquirimos el conocimiento crítico y las habilidades que nos permitirán adaptarnos. Filósofos de todas las épocas han señalado que, con el paso del tiempo, los seres humanos tendemos a encogernos mental y emocionalmente. Desvirtuamos nuestra naturaleza -caracterizada por la curiosidad, la empatía, la razón, el asombro y el deseo de experimentar y entender- y, de esta manera, se va volviendo borroso nuestro sentido de identidad.

Emma ist erst vier Jahre alt, aber ihre Datenspur im Internet reicht schon viel weiter zurück. Bereits das erste Ultraschallbild haben ihre Eltern bei Instagram gepostet. Der Kinderwagen hat 2000 Euro gekostet. Museum, Zoo, Kindertheater, Frühenglisch und Karatekurs – all das muss Emma mit vier schon erlebt haben. Statt ihr Kind zu erziehen, überschütten die Eltern es mit Liebe, Geschenken und Optimierungen. Erzieher berichten, dass viele Kinder heute später trocken werden, nur in 2-Wort-Sätzen sprechen oder sich nicht selbst anziehen können.

When identical twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were three, they began to reject communication with anyone but each other, and so began a childhood bound together in a strange and secret world. As they grew up, love, hate and genius united to push them to the extreme margins of society and, following a five week spree of vandalism and arson, the silent twins were sentenced to a gruelling twelve-year detention in Broadmoor. Award-winning investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace delves into the twins' silent world.

Eine Streitschrift über die Missstände der Schulpolitik von der Stimme einer empörten Generation. Deutschlands ehemaliger oberster Schülersprecher Dario Schramm ist einer der schärfsten und profiliertesten Kritiker der Schulpolitik seit dem ersten Lockdown und klagt an: Wie kann es sein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche nicht nach ihren Bedürfnissen gefragt werden? Warum werden sie wenn überhaupt nur als allerletzte mitgedacht? Und wieso wird die Lufthansa mit einem Milliarden-Paket gerettet, während es an Schulen immer noch mit Luftfiltern und schnellem Internet hapert?

Der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater Michael Elpers schlägt Alarm: Immer mehr Kinder und Jugendliche leiden an Depressionen, Essstörungen, Angsterkrankungen oder Lernstörungen. Doch die sozialen Ursachen dafür werden sowohl von den Medien als auch vom Gesundheits- und Bildungssystem weitgehend ignoriert - die Verantwortung wird oftmals allein den Eltern zugewiesen. Dieses Buch eröffnet eine Debatte, die - nicht erst seit der Pandemie - längst überfällig ist.

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.
