In the early 90s, sociologists in the United States and the UK developed Childhood Studies to promote a holistic view of children's lives, recognition of their competence and agency, and the impact and value of their everyday experiences. As a result of this impetus, different thinking has emerged about the role and recognition of children, the institutions of childhood, and the way we view and treat children in modern societies. This book focuses on research emerging from Children's Rights and Childhood Studies thinking, which has important implications for developing policies and practices to improve children's well-being and rights. The book looks at the implications of children's rights for six contexts of children's everyday lives: Families; Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Child Protection Services; Health Services; and Employment.
