Children First: What Society Must Do--And Is Not Doing--For Children Today

by Penelope Leach

Children First: What Society Must Do--And Is Not Doing--For Children Today Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The child psychologist whose book Your Baby & Child has provided indispensable advice to a new generation of parents now offers a groundbreaking book which suggests that even the best parenting may not be enough in a society that is hostile to children. Leach shows how our laws, employment polices, and culture end up depriving children of their parents.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 267-291) and index.
