Charts the changing nature of childhood and children's lives in Ireland over the past thirty years. Its aim is to provide a more comprehensive and positive profile of childhood and children in Ireland by bringing together recent research and analysis. The contributors are drawn from a range of disciplinary backgrounds in the social sciences but share a similar approach to the study of childhood. The emphasis is not on 'social problems affecting children' but on how children cope with, resist, or accommodate adversity of different kinds. Understanding Children will be of major interest to students and professionals in the areas of sociology, child care, social work, education and psychology, and anyone interested in the subject of children in contemporary society.
