Description

The period of childhood which falls between the early years and adolescence is one which many parents perceive as crucial and anxiety-provoking, but is a comparatively neglected area of study.

As a child reaches middle childhood, relationships within the family have to be adjusted to accommodate the child's growing independence and sexual development, and his or her attitudes to these changes.

While children are less worried about this period of their lives than their parents, they too may suffer from insecurities and have needs that they feel are overlooked or minimised by adults. This book draws on interviews and group discussions with parents and children of primary-school age, conducted during two qualitative studies.

It examines how children perceive their social environs; what they want from their parents; how aware they are of their rights.

These are contrasted with their parents' views of the same subjects and different styles of parenting.

Children's attitudes to risks such as bullying or taking drugs often diverge startlingly from those of their parents. In its combination of viewpoints, set against a background of related research, law, policy and practice, this book offers a rich and challenging study of an important period of the child's development.
