Publisher Synopsis
"Creative, thought-provoking book. This book will interest psychologists and philosophers and any others with a serious interest in developmental psychology and ethics." -- Choice "The author takes us on a stimulating journey through considerations of history, theory and practice, and frequently relies on the perceptions of children themselves to illustrate the points he wants to make. He does this through the device of recounting children's stories of their own experience. For example, he quotes a child talking about the strict Chinese rules resticting family size, "But the babies didn't do anything wrong. Why do they have to lose their first families? I don't think those rules are fair to babies." It is rare for an adult to put a moral and ethical case quite so succinctly." -- Fraser Brown, Children & Society Read more...
