Seen and Not Heard : Why Children's Voices Matter Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

How might society benefit if children were recognized as independent thinkers, capable of seeing clearly and contributing in valuable ways to our world?

How would children’s lives change if what they said was not often ignored or patronized?

In the United States and around the world, ageism remains a widespread prejudice, leading us to make assumptions about, dismiss, and underestimate the perspectives of people of particular ages, including children.

Before they utter a word, their voices are judged as less important than those of adults, or as not important at all.

In a series of conversations with children about many of life’s important philosophical questions, Seen and Not Heardreveals children as perceptive and original thinkers.

Guided by discussions about the meaning of childhood, friendship, justice and fairness, happiness, and death, the book invites us to rethink our beliefs about children and become more receptive to the ways we can learn from the children in our lives.
